If anyone's going to Bono at the Beacon today, I'll be the guy in a black t-shirt with a silver Joshua tree print and a blue blazer. Hope to see some of you on line or in the venue!
 
I listened to some U2 in the car on the way to yoga as a small birthday celebration. Do You Feel Loved sounded particularly good.
 
POP on a set of good headphones or speakers is sublime. it really irks me that this band and a lot of the fans think it sucks because of all the weirdness that surrounded it. unfinished or not, that album kicks ass.

Yes! And the extras like "Pop Muzik", "North and South", "Holy Joe", etc. Probably my favorite era of the band.
 
So it turns out I'm going to be in Vegas in October, and I want to buy a ticket to the show on Friday October 20. However, I'm just now finding out that the re-sell for these shows is very different. Does anyone have any idea how to navigate this?

GA must be done through the ticket exchange.

Regular seats can be done through any second hand ticket market... your stubhubs and what not.

You've got plenty of time - can also just make a post on the Sphere section looking for the date you want in hopes of finding something at face value
 
Speaking of U2, I found it very funny that in one of the interviews Bono did for his book, he said that Mofo should have sounded like Led Zeppelin, and that he thinks they should re-visit it live to do that at some point. I'll bet it comes out sounding like Stand Up Comedy if they try that.
 
If they were shooting for Zep, they missed by a mile, but with excellent results.
Don't F with it. Would be a good Sphere song (I know it won't happen though).

They were not shooting for it at the time, his point was basically that they were too obsessed with making a dance album and produced the song improperly.
Weren't they soundchecking a more guitar driven version at some point?
I think it was during the Vertigo Tour? Probably dumped it when they briefly brought back Discotheque instead.

You better fucking hang out with me, 'Jerry Dunk'. I'm going to that very show.

Is that rehearsal clip legit? It sounds sick. They probably didn't play it because it would have required The Edge to actually play his guitar. God it's depressing how much they shit on Pop. Mofo is one of their very best songs.

I'm prepared for anything, up to and including the band leaving the stage and "The Fly" being performed via tape by Gavin Friday, a la the i+e intermission.

It was during Vertigo. 3rd leg. It came really close to fruition - the plan was to have a Pop encore akin to the ZooTV one (Mofo and Discotheque instead of Zoo Station and The Fly).
