dimafleck: the living legend. Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I've seen them before, and as hyped up as this tour is, I think their tours in the past have been much better.that stage is a monster, but i think its a pretty hallow monster. t found the lighting to be pretty weak most of the time.the crowd was lame as fuck (i gues it is u2 so whatever), and , i dunno the music just didn't do it for me.overrrated and over blown.i had free vip's and got to meet bono and partied in a box with some pretty interesting people, so whatever.

blurasis Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Its one band (second is Arcade Fire) I haven't seen live.Nor will get a chance to see them.Considering its insanely expensive for a ticket.Did anyone listened to CBC's Q about U2's Spiritual meaning on some songs?

NewRider Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 i had free vip's and got to meet bono and partied in a box with some pretty interesting people, so whatever.I knew Bono was a total doucebag but sending out tour managers to find young men in the crowd to blow him??!?! WOW! Also shocking is that a U2 concert was lame! Gasp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister slippery Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 crowd was fantastic on the floor where I was, as were the lights.Maybe the VIP letcha down.I did think that most of the songs sucked, in that i really havent enjoyed a U2 disc since Joshua, but even crap like Elevation was played well.I had fun.

Hartamophone Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) overrrated and over blown.This has been my biggest U2 turn off (U2-urn off?) since probably Zooropa. I get that they are massively popular and inspire throngs of people (and I can't help but self-righteously wonder if that is largely due to a lack of exposure to anything better), but I would still put them at the top of my "most overrated bands" list, hands down. Granted I have never seen them, but the reviews I've read and clips I've seen seem to point to it being all about the spectacle at this point.I had this conversation with a buddy of mine who majored in music and has seen them a couple of times. He says that the real star of the show, musically speaking, is The Edge's guitar tech. Edited September 18, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irie Guy Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 The one and only time I got to see U2 was waay back during the Joshua Tree tour. 88 maybe?? Anyhow, Exhibition Stadium, Cold, late Fall but still head a hell of a time. The only relation to the shows of this week is the name on the ticket.Strange as it may sound but I miss the 70,000+ crowds at outside stadium shows.
