Some preshow reading. Not meant to be a downer, but a look at survivors just over 5 years out from the attacks. https://www.dw.com/en/bataclan-attack-how-survivors-cope-with-the-trauma-5-years-on/a-55543272 Most of us probably remember it as it was happening. We watched in shock. We worried about the band, the fans, our friends. Today, may be a healing day for some, or ripping off a bandaid for others, but either way, we will be here to carry each other. If you haven’t read @Madfl3a’s account of those days, I highly recommend it. https://www.u2andcoffee.com/2016/06/10/paris-mon-amour/

From October to Streets... perhaps the heart and soul of the european i+e shows... quite intense...

I love "Gone" and I want it back in the setlist...

I have a dream that one day I'll be at a concert again and we will not be worried about catching a virus.

The team that did the HD conversion deserves a round of applause and a case of Guinness... it looks amazing...

This recent Easter Sunday was three years, to the day, with no narcotics for me.

Best segment in the history of music. Fight me.

Thanks Bigwave, Max Tsukino and Mich40. More healing wished to Mich. I'm glad you got this on your birthday. Thanks to U2 for the timing of this show. I'll take it with me over the next three days. I hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed Easter if you celebrate it. If not, my best I can give to all. Thank you, U2.

Lovely Discotheque... I played the single all the time before POP was officially released - love it!

Carla Morrison mentioned in an interview about the way she belongs to many minorities in Mexico, and how she tries to show it on her songs... I would think that's something huge, at this time and with everything it's happening in this country.. it should continue and expand... and we should listen, I think...

I dont really see what all the fuss is about 😝

Very nice looking set. 👍 Just please release it all at once for download. The "two songs now, two songs later" routine is unnecessary BS.

I got my second Moderna vaccination today. While I was getting it, I got a text saying one of my favorite bands, Dawes, just announced a tour. I'll be seeing at least three of those shows and they always announce more for Spring. They are even coming to a venue I can walk to, drink and safely walk home. Normally, I've got quite a drive and cannot drink. That's six concerts in my future, including these three Dawes shows.

The Innocence Experience concert I went to at the O2 in London was the best U2 concert I have seen, simply because the sound quality was incredible.

Thanks to everyone that has joined us on the Virtual Tour. It’s been a great few weeks. Can’t wait until we can meet again. Take care and stay safe.

this. then + now

Thanks so much for this @mich40 🙏, we're up for a very special show tonight/today for sure. I don't think it's a downer, it's just reality. It was hard. it was traumatic. And i think it all touched us in different ways. It won't be easy, and it will most certainly bring a lot of emotions ... but as I remembered this morning after 3 days of freaking out about watching this show again, it also brought and will bring so much joy. I think, and as the tweets from the guys showed these past few days, it was meant to uplift our spirits, but it truly turn into a lot more than that. Ultimately th

A Happy and Blessed Easter to all.

That story amused me too! 😄 Octopi are not to be messed with... 🐙

*[POP for THE END OF THE SHOW]* WOW! this was AMAZING. Thanks to everyone for your comments, memories and general good vibes... Next week, the final stop on this fantastic roadtrip, in which we go to the innocence on our way to getting some experience... iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE: Live in Paris. Tres bon!!! until then... be excellent to each other, kids...

Chatting with other Zootopians and singing along with this great show. Even though we aren’t together in person, it’s been a great birthday party. Thanks for the fun! 🍋🛒🇲🇽

Is any concert complete without a giant sparkly lemon?

I wouldn't mind Last Night making it onto the set list as well.

Thanks to a conversation with another subscriber yesterday, I was doing some internet digging and found Willie's Popmart diaries. You can read all of them here: http://u2forums.com/topic/1114-willie-williams-diary-part-1-popmart/ But here are the entries from Mexico City for some preshow reading: 29.11.1997 Mexico City pre-show – Meetings, meetings. Mexico City pre-show – Meetings, meetings. Preparations followed by a David Lynch style karaoke. Mexico City. Slept late, then got up and headed in to see the venue. I’d seen photographs, so I had the general idea, but you never real

I had my first Covid vaccination this morning. It looks like the health service in my town may well have already got round to doing my whole age group - and there was a good, steady stream of people coming in to get theirs, so hopefully that means most people in the area are accepting the vaccine when they're called for it. It was very quick and I barely even felt the needle. Nothing to worry about at all I have the appointment sorted for the second dose - and it's just after my birthday. My present for this year is being protected from Covid.

Seriously, I also love the PoP album and the tour. At this point in time I am amazed by the bands ability to reinvent themselves. From the Joshua Tree to Achtung Baby to Pop, what a transformation for one band to go through. Also like dmway this was the first time I saw the band more than once on the same tour. Two nights at Wembley Stadium - wow party time.

I actually heard “Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way” in the supermarket! 😊 I certainly didn’t expect to hear it there, but it really was on the PA there. Maybe it will happen again someday; in any case, it was nice that it happened once.

I had a phone-call from the local GP surgery about half an hour ago to offer me an appointment for my first Covid vaccination. Surprised me as I had no idea I was eligible. I thought they were still doing the 50-60 age group - but then I realise it may be because I'm registered with the local autism centre. Some of my friends are autistic and had recently had their first doses. I don't have a formal diagnosis, but I am in the middle of the assessment process (still - I was supposed to have the second part of my assessment some time last year, but the centre had to shut for most of the yea

Well it was too late for me to tune in to the live thread, so have just watched Red Rocks tonight. I was interested to read the comments at the start of this thread about low volume, I had headphones on with the volume right up and it sounded incredible and visually great as well, surprising how well they cleaned it up. I would really like to thank the technicians for remastering these concerts and for U2.com to put them out, I am getting a whole new appreciation for these concerts. Looking forwards to PopMart.

Mother of all live shows, what an atmosphere, what an energetic U2. This is what made me a fan!!!

This was soooooooo good !! So good that we're actually doing it all over again tomorrow night at 9pm GMT with the EU gang - who are a lot more sensible than me and are asleep right now - everybody's welcome !

How long to sing this song? Hopefully for a long, long time - and with every one of you, crazy Zootopians... Thanks for being here for this second stop of the #TheVirtualRoad, and thanks for your comments. This was a very good evening... Next stop: everybody is talking about... *[MEXICO CITY]* POPMart from Mexico City awaits. see you soon!!!

fixed it for ya

I was in Florida and heard a panther cry/roar/whatever one does. It was at night. Very cool until I realized it was midnight, I was two miles from where I was staying and I was the only thing walking on that long dark road. Great pics but now I'm worried about Bambi. My good thing is I talked to my Godmother, who has Alzheimer's and was able to get her to remember a lot of things. I'm really good at it. We also talked about corona, Trump, Biden and some quite deep Catholic theology. She was instrumental in my becoming Catholic when I was 25 years of age. (Yes, I willingly chose it.)

A day off today went hiking in the mountains. Watch out for that Cougar! 😟

Yes, especially when you have to keep re-downloading the same tracks each time they add a couple more!

I forgot Bad. THis band will be the death of me seriously. I can't Bad. I CANT

perhaps it's not a bad idea to revisit the added parts from Bono on BTBS... really important, I would believe... So this boy comes up to me His face red like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush A young man with a young man’s blush And this boy, well this boy He looked a whole lot like…me This boy looked just like me He stuck his face into my face And he asked me Have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten where you come from? You’re Irish But here you are, all smiling And making out with the powerful Like you’re really there f

Hello from San Francisco. I'm really missing the rumors/updates we used to get from @U2. Has anyone found a site that fills this void? I'd love to know if there is any activity, if there is any recording going on, any hints about what lays ahead. Personally I am praying for a rebirth of ZOOTV and a world tour of Achtung Baby (which would be fucking mind-blowing) but at this point I'll take what I can get! Andy

I just want Larry to admit that on reflection Pop is an underrated masterpiece and he misses the giant lemon.

That's the one I would like to get. One dose and you are protected!

that POPMartians made a lot of people quite happy on the U2 mailing list, back then...

And the beautiful tour program:

October ---> New Year's Day pure & total unadultered bliss...

wait it's not... thriced ?

This week’s EP. Woah !
