Andres Brave Ping-pong wrote: » Agreed with all that, except one thing... 2nd guitar on Bullet? You sure? I know he uses the Muff for that (How he gets it to cut through the mix is amazing to me) and the delay and the Wah. I can hear the power drop out when he used to go into the solo. Unless, Clayton has an effect on his bass for it to drive it. I know he used to use various effects in the 90's

It's not looking like many standing tickets will be dropped though ,they released hardly any for Barcelona or Rome but lots of seats. Berlin and London had big drops in all categories though.

Using different amps, panned differently, delays, shimmer (used a lot more on the JT stuff than originally), it's all clever and I wish they relied less on tracks a lot more, even if it means added mistakes. The amount of cockups this tour with stuff they've been playing for years is unreal, a lot of it Adam and his bass pedals, but its great cos it's live. And I agree with you, the current show is fairly sparse where extra guitars is concerned, mostly the essential stuff like the second guitar in Bullet, etc. I have to say I'm not a fan of the nasty staccato synth thing on Homecoming, with Edge playing harmonics over it... I'd prefer him to play it on guitar. It's a necessary evil when you have synced visuals and a band relying on cues, etc, and it's a huge temptation to fill up tracks just because it's an available crutch, they can definitely do a show without it all if pre-planned, but if the current and past method fails during a show its a disaster for them. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Saturday )

Point is, there are very few tracks like that in the set. And trust me, when you use as many delay units as he does, it can fill up the sound completely with just one guitar. They are one of the reasons why the arse never really goes out of songs when it's time for a guitar player to do a solo
phonypony wrote: » Plenty of layers of guitar on the tracks they use live though. On the last tour they dispensed with a lot of that for 'One', but even that had at least two prominent guitar parts in addition to the Edge and Bono's sporadic playing. Fact is, without their tracks their show wouldn't be what it is. Even listen to Beautiful Day from Barcelona last night (some issue with the backing tracks), the part going into the middle 8 that Edge plays with a Whammy octave up is mostly inaudible, cause its also on the track. I always thought he was playing that part live.
Andres Brave Ping-pong wrote: » 100% no additional guitar. I've seen The Edge **** up enough times to know there isn't. Don't have to take my word for it, but from my ear and experience as a guitarist, there really isn't. Listen to One from the last tour. It suffers from the lack of a 2nd guitar from Bono. 100% no second guitar player There is another guy down there that play the tracks at the start of Streets, Bad, WOWY etc but, the sound you're hearing mostly through out a lot of songs, is actually an effect pedal The Edge uses....It's called a shimmer effect. Here's an examplehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9FjSQ8Rxgw
