a lot of the copys have sycing problems or are very large in size.

Its odd how a normal sized file hasnt shown up yet without issues? I got one thats just under 2 gigs I think and the sound goes out of sync very close to the start. This was from the Sunday night show.

From quick listens I think the gig on the 11th of November sounds a bit better.

I definitely watch the show on Christmas Night on RTE2. It will be fantastic.

Why would I be watching this when I could be watching Die Hard?

Ice if you use it.

I did watch it earlier on RTE. Loved the whole thing from start to finish.

I will buy the Blu-ray or DVD when it's eventually out in the music stores or on Amazon.

Great show. Only disappointment is that they cut the second song which was a highlight of the tour.

The bit with the dancers, in the TV show they got them all up, saying these are all the dancers that joined us on stage. Kinda seemed to suggest that they were either (a) fanatical supporters that had followed them around the world or (b) paid dancers.

Any insight?

Fanatical supporters that won some competition I think. I recognised the bird with the devil horns from the leaked show in November and the black lad dressed in the shiny builders outfit has seen them a ridiculous amount of times, and has his own documentary on Youtube. Basically people with money to burn.

StringerBell · 27-12-2015 1:54am

Overall the show reminded me of everything I don't like about U2 (well Bono) and everything I do love about U2. A very conflicted, and highly enjoyable watch it has to be said.

Can't wait to catch them live again in the flesh

the guy with the youtube movie is a teacher, dj and part time musician. hes prob a secret millionaire or something. i have respect for this fans though because they dont go to these shows to get drunk, go there to say they were there etc like many irish gig goers. Bands should repay some of there mega super fans eg free tickets to a show of there choice etc

there was a planned documentary about the tour being made but think it was shelved after the paris attacks

I believe the dancer people were all invited back for the Paris concert ,as they had appeared at other gigs ,they were given free trips by U2.

I was talking to one of the people in Dublin that was in the Paris broadcast,he was dressed up as Mr Mc Phisto.
Nice chap but a bit crazy.

Christ, that serenade between Bono and the muscle top wearing tattooed dude was fcuking creepy!

FixdePitchmark · 28-12-2015 12:57am

Great piece recording etc. (watching it on BBC)

But as it is so rehearsed - it doesn't come across as well as a TV/DVD show. As most their other tours did >

Was at gig twice and loved it , but wonder how this is coming across - was watching it with a young lad who wouldn't know them, he said good show - but no connection with crowd ?

I say that as a big fan.

It is also an age thing - crowd and band 50s etc, Bono singing well.

johnpatrick81 · 28-12-2015 12:09pm

I thought it was great except for the VIP spoilt obsessed fanatics on stage(3rd time this tour alone for some). People pay to see U2, and/or a special guest like Bruce or Noel. This lot had no place on the stage. Essentially we lost a cracking song like Gloria or OOC and had a whole song of these twits prancing about on stage.

As someone mentioned, there was some great, and some terrible moments.

Yeah that bit was really weird and you could tell that the crowd were looking on dumbfounded too. Not as bad as the guy in Glasgow who just stood there gawking at Bono but still pretty bad.

Agreed ,I do not like these exhibitionist stage people ,most of them are not the full bob.
I much preferred it when the band used to bring down to earth people up on stage.
That girl in Paris with all the vile tattoos ,I nearly got sick looking at her.

Christ, that serenade between Bono and the muscle top wearing tattooed dude was fcuking creepy!

What the hell was that about?

Initially I thought it was some stage invader but it was obviously planned but it was utter nonsense ,himself and Bono were like two drunks after a night out .

Disagree you should have stopped at people pay to see U2.

The gig is advertised as U2 not U2 possibly featuring Noel G,Bruce S,Patti Smith etc. and Eagles of Death Metal fall in that bracket also. Noel G with U2 doing the Beatles was well cringe tbh.

Your post is very opinionated not everyone likes Bruce Springsteen, Noel Gallagher or even U2 that matter ya know.

johnpatrick81 · 29-12-2015 7:43am

My post is very opinionated?:D I thought that was the idea:pac:

I was speaking for me, not for everyone. But exactly, you hit the nail on the head. I would be willing to give a proper musician a pass, not some amateur wannabe celeb desperados. It was a massive cringe moment IN MY OPINION.

This was a disappointment and it was done for production reasons as far I know. The second track was always a 'rotational' song (Gloria/ElectricCo/Out of Control).

These are fanatics. Basically the same group of people travel around to a large number of the shows all over EU/USA. They que up all day and go straight to the front row of e-stage which is where Bono would normally invite someone up. It's pretty desperate in my opinion - I was standing in Belfast 2 and Dublin 2 and I saw saw that Devil horn girl standing in exactly the same place at both concerts.

The panti bliss thing in Dublin was a bit much from the videos I saw. Who payed 200 Euro to see Bono kiss and bow to a drag queen

Hi all

Posted this in one of the other music forums, probably better here.

I'm looking for a ticket stub for the Friday night gig. Third gig I think it was.

Have stubs for every gig I was ever at framed and missed out on this one as the missus went ticketless!

Anyone still feeling the Christmas spirit please pm me...

Thanks

Didn't realise that. I never go for seats if standing is an option. So it's my fault then !

Zero interest in purchasing this.Recorded it at Christmas and/or can watch it on YouTube...Surely 99% of fans would prefer an official release on CD/ vinyl.

Yeah the I+E tour is the only one U2 have done since Zoo where I'd actually love a CD of the concert itself.

theres plenty of fan recorded bootlegs around. Some have almost as good quality as an offical recording
