    US Politics XXXVIII: "Patriots" vs Reality

    Hahahahaha! Some detector of mine was broken. Either way, thank you! And I hope it provided some reassurance to someone reading.

    ACCIDENTAL DUPLICATE, SORRY!

    US Politics XXXVIII: "Patriots" vs Reality

    Not so much. All these polls are in the margin of error, in every swing state. There are fatal flaws with the NYT poll here, as there have been with almost everything they've put out this election cycle. If you look for example at the Harvard Institute of Politics poll of the 18-29 group in...

    US Politics XXXVIII: "Patriots" vs Reality

    It's been years, likely over a decade since I posted in FYM, but I could not go without pointing out that this is a PERFECT analysis! Word-for-word agreement and quite concise! THANK YOU! Society as a whole being too damn bored and gullible is the biggest problem now many years running...

    3 Irishmen and a Dutchman Walk Into A Sphere - General Discussion Thread Part III

    That's good to hear on the sound! Don't get me wrong, I thought it was absolutely amazing when I went November 1. However, if I had one thing I'd change, I'd make it a bit louder. The sound was beyond enough to fill the venue, and had more punch than the Bruce show I saw in August. Among other...

    Setlist Discussion Part II - Spoilers Allowed, Enter At Your Own Risk

    YEAH! City of Blinding Lights could open the encore and go right into Elevation. I agree overall with people saying they could just add a song here or there. Doesn't necessarily have to be in the acoustic set. The lowest hanging fruits to pick, for me, are Numb and full band Stay in the AB...

    New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album

    This exactly! Yes, this approach is necessary for them due to Larry's health. But I'm looking at the up side. I'm just trying to enjoy the ride as much as possible without being overly concerned with what comes next. It's been liberating for me as a fan. I'll never forget late 2008/early 2009...

    Setlist Discussion Part II - Spoilers Allowed, Enter At Your Own Risk

    I attended the November 1 show with my Mom, aunt and uncle. I've seen every tour since Vertigo and they've all seen every tour since the original JT. We all had our minds completely blown!! Of course, the Sphere has been discussed to no end. I just can't emphasize enough what I suspect most of...

    2024 shows

    Absolutely! They did about as well by everyone as they could given the circumstances! Then of course the top of the top live act tier they are still in. Robert Smith is admirable and the Cure selling strong, but as we all know, they aren't on U2's level when it comes to demand for tickets. Of...

    3 Irishmen and a Dutchman Walk Into A Sphere - General Discussion Thread Part III

    It sounds crazy, but you have to view this in the context of what other acts in their tier charge. Madonna. Stones. Sting. The point is never made enough here or anywhere. For the level of fame and obvious continued super high demand U2 is at, they are A BARGAIN TO SEE LIVE!! I don't even...

    Setlist Discussion Part II - Spoilers Allowed, Enter At Your Own Risk

    Thank you! Always love reading your thoughts. I have experienced the same thing re: buzz from the general public and it's everywhere: casual fans, non fans, hipsters, tech nerds, social media, etc, etc. Definitely the right call, which I thought all along. However, I had as much of a clue as...

    Setlist Discussion Part II - Spoilers Allowed, Enter At Your Own Risk

    Yeah, way to ignore the rest of what I wrote. Is Bullet or New Year's Day unrealistic? COBL? 1 more song on a 22 song set when they've done 25-26 recently? And how is Please more out there than Acrobat on E&I or full band Zooropa on 360? October and Scarlet on recent tours? How about Two...

    Setlist Discussion Part II - Spoilers Allowed, Enter At Your Own Risk

    How about this? Add just one song to the set now that they're warmed up! AB break up: Keep 4 slots. No one knows exactly how this develops and anything is fair game to speculate until we get about 8-10 shows in. So I'll just throw something realistic out: Stay First Time Pride (SOS) All I...

    Sphere #3 - Oct 5 - Setlist Party

    Could also see a change or two in the encore. Adam and Bram did say the rotation won't necessarily be in the same part of the set. Could see COBL for Elevation. Some kind of re ordering of Vertigo/Streets or even something added somewhere like we saw on JT 30's last leg. The set is still...

    Sphere #2 setlist party

    That is the clear next best option to rotate. Adam and Bram did say all the switch ups won't be at the same points in the show. Discotheque and City of Blinding Lights could both work well here!
