Smaller show, better gig.

Seems they've added a few of the newer songs to the post Joshua Tree part of the show

Just signed into U2.com to renew my sub, which is due to end 31 Jan, to notice that they have extended it to 29 Feb - anyone else get a "free" month? If I wait to renew for a new month, I presume my membership will remain at its current status

They were due to make an announcement about the new subscriber gift this week so it looks like they have extended memberships to allow more time for it.

The new subscriber gift is the DVD of the final E&I show in Berlin.

Will this be released publicly and on blu ray

Dvd is so 2003

A little revisit to July 2017 from Croker.

Hopefully people will enjoy the audio upgrade.

Hadn't seen this, cheers. I splashed out on the sub for this DVD anyway. The tour left a massive impression on me, and in the end it was only 30 odd euro anyway.

That's the view from his home in Kiliney, Dublin.

The E&I DVD is been touted as a fan club exclusive. It may get a general release down the road tho.

This stripped back style sounds great. I hope they do more of this type of thing!

PTH2009 · 10-05-2020 06:32PM

Showed which looked like Pro shot footage from the 2017 Croke Park show on the news just there

Be nice to get if they ever release it

PTH2009 · 03-07-2020 01:55PM

A tour celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Achtung Baby in 2021 similar to the JT revisited tour

Is it realistic or could you say the E&I tour was kind of it with some of the material that was played

Can't see it . Even if they were thinking of it I'd say covid has put a stop to it especially the way the US is. These yours take a lot of advance planning I'd imagine

The "Zoo" section of the e&i Tour was an absolute blast and the highlight of the shows I saw. I'm hoping there is some sort of version of a Zoo anniversary, but surely U2 fatigue is a risk at this stage what with all the shows and tours.

They have overtoured, and need a long, long break.

Adam interviewed in Rolling Stone the other day, saying a Zoo TV Tour remained a possibility, but i can ‘t see them playing live again until 2022.

They havent over toured Europe ,quite the opposite I'd say.
They have completely over toured the US though .

The 12 year contract with LiveNation expired in April so the band arent under any pressure to tour .
That contract was the reason for the Joshua Tree tour ,Livenation demanded the band do another tour to fill their coffers.

With Covid-19 about ,alot of the big acts will take a break until 2022.
I'd like to see the band move away from Livenation and get rid of that snake oil salesman Guy Oseary that they have as manager.
Money talks though .

Incidentally Zooropa was released this day 27 years ago .

One of my favourites! One or two weaker tunes alright but some bangers on there. Pop aside, its better than anything they've released since.

I'd welcome an Achtung Baby anniversary tour with open arms!

Unlikely tho as Adam referred to it as "Another Nostalgia Tour", reading between the lines, but that didn't sound too positive. They done there best to keep away from that nostalgia territory with the Joshua Tree tour, especially Bono.

More interesting is Adam saying they got a new album together and were finishing it before lockdown. Very interesting, I guess once they rested up after E&I, they hit the studio. Great news!

JoeExotic81 · 06-07-2020 11:21AM

I'd very much welcome a new, scaled down version of U2, now that they are free from live nation's money vomiting contract.

I was surprised by the energy of them and the buzz from the e+I shows however. The I+e and jt30 shows left me somewhat cold. Great in the moment, but not seismic the way a U2 show was prior to the 360 tour.

No more greatest hits tours though please. I'd rather them wait and try and see if they've anything left creatively, and build the tour around that.

I had a feeling after the live BBC show in the songs of experience promotion tour that it'd be epic to see them tour with an orchestra. It would embrace the idea of growing old gracefully. Twined with the best of their acoustic work. But like I said, the energy of e+I surprised me. Just a lot of the content seemed tired.

Zoo TV would be hard to beat ,I still rate it as their most impressive tour visually .
The outside leg was groundbreaking for the time ,introducing the B stage to the industry among other things.
The topics the tour introduced are more relevant that ever today .

Edge said this last week

At some point, I’d love to do something again with the Zoo TV idea. It’s weird how it’s come around. It was very prescient. We had no ideas at the time that the world was going to become…that was all about cable news and that overload. Now look where we are. It’s like times a thousand. It’s like Moore’s Law as applied to data. But not the quality, unfortunately, that’s the thing that is really shocking. There’s really little quality information out there. So much of it is corrupted.

Agreed, way Over toured in US

But even in Europe, From 2015 to 2018, they played 85 gigs in Europe, across 3 tours, including 9 gigs in Dublin. There are very few acts, if any, have played that many Arena/stadium sized gigs in that 3 year period across Europe.

Curious, which would you consider the 'bangers on there'?

I love U2, but I think Zooropa was my least favourite U2 album of all, mostly middling gash imho.
