Think an instagram post and a tweet would have sufficed, no?

How cool would it be if the band did an audio broadcast of their shows as part of the U2.com subscription? Surely their is a way to stream their IEM feed to us without the count ins.

Should be another 2 hours before the band comes on right?

Very jealous of everyone there but glad that side of the world gets a chance to JT in its entirety.

Great night. Been waiting to hear so many of those songs live. To experience it in their hometown made it so much more special.

Uh oh...Is Bono regarding his body as an inconvenience again?

 

Always hope he’s careful but if there’s one thing that’s sure after all these years it’s that Bono will always be a rockstar.

No raised by wolves again. Shame because it really fits in that part of the set list.

I’m sure this has already been said but WE GOT RED FLAG DAY finally. I’ve seen four of seven shows on the tour and they played at the three I hadn’t seen up to this point  It sounded so good - stoked. I have no voice left. 

 

Oh, and I finally caught pages falling from the ceiling tonight! 

Going tomorrow and I’m putting all my energy into hoping they play RFD again.

I just watched the clip of Red Flag Day which Mich40 posted in this thread.  Does it seem like they are really concentrating?  I don't know how eles to say that.  It doesn't quite express what I'm asking.  I watched the Edge closely.  His eyes rarely leave the fingerboard to look at the audience.  The same is true for Adam.  At one point, more towards the end, right before Bono sings, Hey Hey, he smiles.  It almost seems like he's happy that it's coming together.  I don't remember seeing them concentrate that much on their fingering before.  This is conjecture.  It seems like they are really pushing themselves as musicians.  I am not a famous rock musician.  I don't know.  I'm asking what others think.

Not a pro myself but if I had to guess it might just be that they really haven’t had the time to reherse it enough to feel comfortable. Read either or elsewhere that something similar has been happening during Acrobat and that’s been played every night of the tour so far.

That’s a hell of a set list and exactly how you put on a show without Joshua Tree.

Really? A terrible set list?  Totally disagree....they spent a whole summer playing The Joshua Tree last year....why on earth would they play them again with all the other ‘classics’ waiting to be played.  I am thrilled by this set list and can’t wait - biggest disappointment for me is lack of Red Flag Day and I was hoping for a few others from War/October.  Surprised they included the elevation/vertigo duo again but then again, nothing gets the crowds going like those so I am now counting down the months until September in Europe.  

Yeah but they also spent that whole summer playing SBS, Pride, Elevation, and One...
