    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...

    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!

    Sphere Show #1 Setlist Party

    Don't go making any sense here! Unreal.... They play all of AB in a brand new, never been tried before, high stakes show and people still complain! Everything about this is new....... not to mention Larry's hiatus! Thematically and logically, the R&H mini set far and away made the most sense...

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

    Absolutely! We take it for granted in the first place. Never mind the fact that they've been at it as long as they have. All anyone needs to do is do what myself and many others I'm sure do every tour.... bring a friend who hasn't seen them before. Watch them try and pick their jaw up off the...

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

    That's going to be a theme across AB! I think that's one place you can look right to how they did JT if you're wondering how AB songs will be performed. They went to great lengths to replicate the original performances as best as possible. We won't be seeing karaoke One or that short , non...

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

    I watched the live performance a few hours after it happened and said "meh" Sounded decent, but just a one off that I hoped they'd forget. Holy SHIT is this good with the production!! For all the reasons everyone already mentioned- Lillywhite and the loud drums, etc, etc. However, did anyone...

    Setlist Speculation / Hopes / Desires / Fantasies

    Good job! Very well thought out and GREAT CALL on The Blackout! Like a lot of people, I've been thinking of a short , high energy appetizer set along the lines of I&E/JT 30 as one option. I had Desire in every version in my mind, but was trying to fit other 80s tracks into it. Struggled to...

    The Final Countdown - U2 at Sphere - General Discussion Thread Part 3

    Exactly! I don't know why people are freaking out on this count! "It's gonna be AB performed SOS style" "It's gonna be UV JT 30 but updated for different women and not performed as well" "It's gonna be karaoke One" "Half the set will be acoustic." What about the branding of this particular...
