I was at the Greek Theater show the other night for my first AF show. I guess a picked a pretty good one to start off with, considering they performed Funeral complete for the first time. I taped, but (as I have heard) the crowd was pretty disrespectful. People on both sides of me were chatting...
I am amazed at all the same shows Partyslammer and I have seen. (I first noticed it at SHF.tv)
Was at the GnR shows with them opening for Aerosmith (at Pacific Amp) and I believe the final Stones gig as well. (Either night 2 or 3)
For me it’s I&E.....then.....a......long.....way......back is TJT30 (mainly above E&I because of the side 2 songs)....then slightly less back is E&I mainly for being lazy, not changing up Iris-UTEOTW. Closing main set is weak, ending kinda bad and not a huge fan of the album in the first place.
TJT30 was lazy too. LOL. Sure, Exit and Mothers was cool, and getting a couple of new songs throughout the tour was nice, but come on. It was a cash grab while they finished SOE (They owed LiveNation a tour...since they were supposed to be on the SOE tour in 2016...)
I get what PartySlammer is saying. When you have been lucky enough to see U2 in multiple decades, you are simply comparing them to themselves! The band has the capability of doing some of their best work right now. Bono sounds good. There is no fault with the band, other than the energy and...
I don't want to say it was bad, heck it's a U2 show and they are always decent. But I do think they aren't as good as 2015, and that is more my reflection of SOE vs SOI.
Still, a night with U2 is better than many other things!
I was at both LA shows. I know PartySlammer and I have seen many of the same shows over the years after comparing showlists over at SHF.
I will set my review up as I think the 2015 shows were some of the best I've ever seen. (And I've seen at least 2 shows from every tour since '83) I think SOI...
