It's definitely in the speech accompanied by music category a la MLK and Scarlet on 360 and The Ocean earlier on this tour. Would not have expected that of Dirty Day, but they're doing some cool stuff with it (Edge being the voice of Bono's dad is a cool effect). Too much speech and not enough lyrics, but I'll take it since the alternative is a speech with no music before Zoo Station.
But it’s gotta be part of THE NARRATIVE!!! Otherwise, it doesn’t warrant inclusion in the setlist. Also, am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that Bono is still going on about what an asshole his father was, 17 years after his death, in a very public way.
I get that his mother’s death and his father being an ass are what pushed him towards being the person that he is today. Just seems a little strange to still be harping on about it. Deep wounds, I guess.
I'd love to see the second section of the show go into a Zoo smash up... thinking of the iconic intro to Zoo Station with the EU flag. No repeating the past but that stage is made for it. But after Blackout and UTTEOTW it may be too much. Fuck Elevation boys let put a Zoo-like spotlight on the mess going on in Europe. America, the world, too, but don't compromise. I hope they pull out the throttle here like the did in the US!
This is one of the fucking worst things I have ever heard, and from a band once so capable of launching songs into the stratosphere live. On what planet do they think people go to gigs to hear their favourite songs turned into rambling speeches?
Pure lunacy. I really didn't think it was possible to do Dirty Day so badly.
I think they’re trying to do something similar to “bullet” in 2015 where Bono had a conversation with his younger self.
But I’d definitely take this over the current intro to Zoo Station, which is just Bono rambling.
Also, it’s amazing that they’re still trying this with only 5 shows left. I’d probably be like “alright boys, just like the last week of school... time to coast!”
Good for you!To the (unsurprising) person that that slammed me down on this 2 months ago.. I was (almost) fuckin' right! The intro to Blackout, Zoo Station, Fly, Stay, Horses then New Years Day were perfect. Just had to get that off my chest x
It's a private rehearsal relax for fucks sake man
Bring itWanna fight about it?
Bring it
Hey champ they're clearly rehearsing it in that style for public performance. And it's garbage and should never see the light of day.
Please, you'll just babble through the entire thing and have someone else do the heavy liftingIt'll be a dirty day for you. Gonna hit someone guilty.
