U2

[INDIANA]

Admitedly I am looking at this through E-street tinted glasses

So post on the Springsteen thread. And please mention that his Sat night was awful. Meanwhile U2 Sat was awesome. Fair enough the weather wasn't Bruce's fault but neither was it U2's. If you want to post how great you think Bruce is start a thread or post on his earlier thread. Don't be the scouser on the manc thread.

Even I'd have to admit Saturday was really good. Bruce is a different act but I will concede I do prefer Bruce. I think U2 have recaptured a bit of their youth again in terms of connecting with the audience again by playing some the hits that made them really famous after not playing them at concerts for maybe a decade and beyond in some cases.

Are they really the biggest band in the world still? Is a U2 concert really an "event"? I've seen them before but I think they've been pretty gash for a good few years now.

However, in the spirit of the thread:
Red Hill Mining Town is a great call 5Sams.
I Will Follow.
Angel of Harlem

I think last weekend probably answered your question Tony.

Good concert on Saturday night, though not quite as good as Croke Park, just not the same atmosphere.

The gig from Shefflied is being broadcast on radio aire tonite.

U2 to stream LIVE on youtube this Sunday........




U2 to stream entire concert live on YouTube
      Tue Oct 20, 8:09 am ET
LONDON (Reuters) – U2 will stream an entire concert live on the YouTube video sharing site this weekend, the Irish band said on their website. Sunday's show at the Rose Bowl in California is already a sellout, with an audience of 96,000 expected, and U2 said it would be the first time for such a large show to be streamed live.

"The band has wanted to do something like this for a long time," said manager Paul McGuinness in a statement.

"As we're filming the LA show, it's the perfect opportunity to extend the party beyond the stadium. Fans often travel long distances to come to see U2 -- this time U2 can go to them, globally."

Google Inc's YouTube will stream the concert across five continents, and two replays will be available after the live feed -- on www.U2.com and YouTube.

The band behind hits like "Beautiful Day" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" kicked off the U2 360 Tour in Barcelona in June and has boasted high attendances by using a circular platform that can be viewed from all sides of arena.

YouTube has had an uneasy relationship with the record industry in recent years, with labels arguing that popular social networking and online video sites should pay them more for the right to feature their artists.

At the same time they recognize the importance of maintaining their presence on sites that help shape young fans' musical tastes.
