Hello! I'm still looking for 1 GA for each of the Manchester shows.

Just discovered this thread. Can't believe you've filled 15 pages talking about absolute nonesense. There is no substance to this rumour. Could they stop any day? Sure. But there is zero indication of this right now. They've also said they have a lot to tell (Bono in a recent interview)...

+ 1. Not the song I'm most looking forward to, but in my top 3 certainly. But more importantly it is a monster live. Why on earth would you use that song as intermission?! But they did the same with The Fly. Similar type of song. So it's possible... With U2 anything is possible I guess. It...

I think if anything we will get a MacPhisto 2.0. The appearance on Jimmy Kimmel is a good indication of what MacPhisto might look like today. Worked pretty well imho. In any case this got me really excited. Hope it's more than just a short intro. MacPhisto as the Showman would be pretty cool for...

That's actually a good point I didn't think about: most people in seats (so those you are meant to use the app) will not know about this app before going to the show. So how are they going to communicate that? Send an email through ticketmaster? Leave a little flyer on each seat? :hmm:

Ok, so what is it that we see at the end of this video? The sort of ring hanging above the bstage? https://www.instagram.com/p/BiMOQ2DFZN6/?hl=de&taken-by=u2dadepressao_

Holy shit, MacPhisto? Now that's great news! I doubt it would be a full return (costume and everything included), but even an appearance on screen would be pretty damn cool. And fits the song.

I still don't agree, but let's leave it at that and wait what happens. This is a tiring discussion that is not going to lead anywhere.

Oh sorry I don't follow your posts closely enough ;) I'm talking about this stuff though: https://www.facebook.com/u2start/photos/pcb.10155811207780831/10155811204990831/?type=3&theater More specifically the picture with young Bono "in the air" over the main stage, and some other image over the...

I think they have learned that lesson ;) The backlash would be kind of funny though :D

Why would they put a filter on a video teaser? Makes no sense. Hologram or not, I do believe something else is coming that doesn't need an app. U2 have always delivered when it came to live performance, staging etc. There is no reason to not trust them now. This little app can't be everything...

Of course it makes no sense to hype this more or less useless app. But it's U2. Not everything makes sense ;) But think back to the announecement made after they dropped SOI, about working on an app that would enhance the experience of listening to an album. Maybe the plan is or was to use this...

Hey, stop the SUC bashing please, I like that song ;) But yes, American Soul is definitely not one of the songs I'm looking forward to. But since in Europe we'll get RFD instead it's all good :D

Nope, not gonna happen I'm afraid (would love it though!). Lucifer's Hands and Crystal Ballroom are both great songs. Played a few times in the US. No reaction from the audience, hence it was buried in the graveyard of great U2 songs. I don't understand why they test material in the US and then...

Lol, but it does show that a few minor changes would be sufficient to turn this into a killer setlist. The current rehearsal setlist has two flaws: a few war horses we're tired of, and a stretch of the setlist of 2015 that has been copied and pasted into this setlist. It wouldn't take much to...

Just watched the Iris video on my computer (vs phone earlier). Looks as if there as a sort of net infront of the camera. Strange, what is this? Just a weird video filter thing? Or related to the show?

Yes, it has been used before. But I do find the images quite explicit. Also using phones or glasses or whatever other "device" in a concert setting just doesn't make any sense, even for seats. Anyway, I didn't want to go so far off topic ;) I'm excited to see what they will use either way...

Nope, holograms (i.e. projections) are AR (unlike VR which would not take place in the arena without any device). In case you haven't read this, it's quite interesting: u2songs | #U2eiTour & Augmented Reality: The latest and greatest in software, hardware, and menswear | And the promotional...

Not really. What we saw in the promo picture from Live Nation would be holograms, and those can absolutely be seen without a phone. Don't know if at the time those pictures were published someone posted this on here, but you could imagine something like what Eric Prydz did:

Absolutely disagree. When the entire arena in 2015 sang along to 40, continuing after the band left, even in the hallways, that was pretty damn magical. I would assume U2 to move in as early as possible, so april 27th. That will leave them 5 days for rehearsal in Tulsa. Which in turn means that...

Agree. Still a lot of time. But they're definitely trying out different sets / combinations of songs. Doesn't mean that either one will be the final set. I wonder during which song Bono will invite a fan on stage. I doubt that he will drop that habit. Some more filming maybe like in 2015? I...

Ok, so does that mean you think 13 in the current "setlist" is the last song before the encore? So none of the encore has been rehearsed yet? That would be great but a pretty long set... I do think 13 would be good enough to close the main set, but not the encore. As for Little Things, I...

I think that Headache was referring to a magical moment in the encore to end the show (agree on Acrobat + Until though). 13 most certainly isn't that, unless they tweek it into a live monster which I doubt. Bad + 40 was the perfect end. Hard to beat. Love is blindness would be great. I have...

On Exit he was pretty damn energized. And I can see him perform songs like Acrobat or An Cat Dubh (if that makes it to the set) in a similar, very theatrical fashion. The songs certainly lend themselves to it. Don't forget that there are plenty rehearsal days ahead of us. They certainly feel...

Agreed. It's going to be a fun moment in the live show. Not gonna happen. I'd love that though...
