Do you think this thread could keep going until next June ?

Well, they could confirm, Bono could knacker himself again (He apparently dived into the crowd the other night!), then we could keep it going as a warm up thread until 2013!

God forbid!

[The Nal]

all those 'snippets'...? what's all that about? Is it Bono singing one or two lines from any random song that comes into his head?

[Wooderson]

Yeah, they've been doing it for a while now, depending where they're playing. Was obviously raining last night. He always slips in London calling in London etc.

And "In The Basement" by Etta James when they play in Austria.

[The Nal]

And "Who do you think you're kidding...?" when they play Berlin.

oh ffs.

I may just let my ticket expire as I hate U2 and their fans. There is no way I can avoid them.

I don't like much of U2 pre Joshua Tree

[the_hedge]

Either do I apart from a couple of tracks on “The War Album” and most of Unforgettable Fire. The early early stuff sounds a bit lumpy to me

When you say "much" what do you mean?

I Will Follow

Into The Heart

Electric Co.

Gloria

Out of Control

Sunday Bloody Sunday

New Years Day

40

Two Hearts Beat as One

Sort of Homecoming

Pride

Wire

Unforgettable Fire

Bad

Theyre all fantastic songs - some as good as anything they brought out later. Couple of them are derivative (Out of Control) but some are anything but (Sort of Homecoming / Gloria).

[danlen]

cant stand Bono and his "love the world" bull, not a fan of U2 BUT, would probably love them live. IF i get a ticket!!

Glad you had a great time! We went to Istanbul and Zurich and i've spent all week figuring out the cheapest way to get to Coimbra - THAT wasn't going to happen though hence why my arse is firmly planted on the sofa at home still! I listened to the Seville show last night via a live feed from the stadium and it sounded like a great show with a particularly rowdy crowd!

[Wooderson]

really? surprised to hear that from you. and from reading your stuff on here (past gigs, etc...) I know it's not a case of you being a devoted Smash Hits reader up until 87/Joshua Tree

I feel that way about Boy and October, records with great moments but still not great beginning-to-end albums that i'd still play today. But War and Unforgettable Fire for me are both absolute classic albums, not to mention Under A Blood Red Sky as well

[Digi]

I would have loved to have done Istanbul and Zurich, still I enjoyed Seville and it was a good crowd..great atmosphere! (Seville is a lovely city as well).
