U2 Joshua Tree tour 2017

[Terry]

I went to the Vancouver show...prices were ridiculous...in a huge cavernous stadium - 50k plus

What was weird about teh show is that it seemed way to small for that arena...sure the screen is big, but frankly U2 isn't bringing it anymore to justify energizing that size of crowd.

What made it even stranger was Bono's bizarre comments about the venue during the show (eluding it was not suitable to his eclectic tastes).

I know that the lion's share of shows are in the US, but there were a few puzzled faces when he spoke of "This is an American adventure... invented in America" and all of the visuals as well.

I know alot of production and rehearsals are involved to change the show for other countries, but it seemed just strange is all. People around me were perplexed.

It was made all the stranger as the band, particularly Bono spends alot of time here - they rehearsed for a couple of weeks here. Anyways, a smaller venue would have been much better I am sure.

I'd tend to think U2 would be one of the few bands who really could put on an effective show in a stadium. I mean, shit, they've been doing them for 30+ years now...and they've got more than enough anthems in their discography that would still manage to translate well even in a stadium setting. Like, even if the band's physical energy levels aren't what they used to be, just the songs themselves would still - I imagine - be enough to carry them through.

Having said all that, I'll never, ever see any band in a stadium again. Too much hassle + shit acoustics, and that's across the board for every stadium show I've ever seen. No rock acts - none of them - I've seen in a stadium setting ever sounded even remotely as good as a band in a mid-size arena.

A 1,000 capacity club is my personal ideal.

"I'll say your name if you promise to cum on my face."

Bono spends a lot of his time sucking the dick of George Bush

[Nickdfresh]

Fair enough, I was about to start shit about their prices because I read somewhere that the UK and Ireland tickets started at $140+

They were $35 actually but were all in the first two minutes. I went $70, which is what I wanted anyways, but with nearly $25 in Gimp assrape fees per` ticket...

Oh my that's clever! can't afford the door-charge for open mic night?

Saw the Popmart show in the Kingdome back in 1997. As big as that stage was, it looked tiny inside that building. Not so much during the show itself, since I was right in front of the stage. That was the last concert in that building before they blew it up a few months later of course.... saw the Stones there just a couple weeks before that. (nowhere near the stage for that one, unfortunately)

[Kristy]

Notice how slave FORD overlooks the FACT that Bono is now on the Bush Criminal Empire payroll?

[Etienne]

Say what you want, Kristy. When Bono meets political celebs he's collecting money for charities or pushing projects to make the world a better place. Sounds cheesy, but makes sense.

[FORD]

If Bono was on the BCE payroll, Poppy would have taken his phone call....

[Kristy]

Again, slave FORD loses due to his incoherent conspiracy bullshit

[FORD]

I'm not the one attempting to tie an Irish rock singer to the biggest crime syndicate of the 20th century.

[Kristy]

No, not at all. You've been too busy throwing your BCE monkey feces for so long to do anything else.

[Seshmeister]

I never realized Bush was so short...

[FORD]

Yeah I remember reading some Chimpy campaign propaganda back in the day that said he was 6 ft tall.

Bullshit. He wouldn't be that tall even after a month of stretching on a CIA torture rack.

[Kristy]

Even Marty Wilson-Piper gives props to how incredibly stupid and boring Jew4 are

Then he spends the rest of the vid babbling on how fucking boring he is himself

[Nickdfresh]

Fucking great show. I wish Dave could sing half as well as Bono, who also had voice troubles on the previous tour...
