For arena/stadium shows it is for bands like U2/Bruce/Jovi.

Aloha !

Mo rates U2 and their version of One they did in Barcelona:

Mo says:
im still thinking about U2
Mo says:
knowing Bono, he might make the show worse by talking about africa
Supersonic says:
haha
Supersonic sends: U2 - One (Barcelona)
Supersonic says:
Listen to that.
****ing funny that.
Mo says:
song?
Supersonic says:
Yes
Before One Bono went on about preaching etcetera
And then the band started One.
Listen to how they completely lose track on this song.
Mo says:
oh, he did that on one of the DVDs i have
Mo says:
not lose track, just kept talking till i went asleep
Supersonic says:
He does it at every show.
This is One from the first show of the tour.
Supersonic says:
This is the song one. It doesn't include the speech before it.
Mo says:
right, thank god
Supersonic says:
haha

Transfer completed

Mo says:
that's bloody awesome
at least he's singing live
lol
i think he's drunk
Supersonic says:
hahaha
Mo says:
i think he's reading from a sheet
just like jon on hallelujah
Supersonic says:
He's not.
As soon as the crowd takes over after the first verse and goes into the chorus Bono loses it.
He doesn't remember the second verse.
And from there it's a mess.
Mo says:
omg, he re-does the second verse
i would love to hear Dry County like that
they should re-do the guitar solo everytime richie ****s up

Just to show you that the ****ing ****** hasn't lost it, right Mo?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Pretty awesome, I was listening to a 3 sourced matrix audio. And I couldn't stop laughing when Bono sings some snippets of Michael Jackson' songs.

He sounds totally flat and out of tune most of the time. Oh well, it will be good to see this nostalgic act .

So I went to U2 yesterday with Sebbie and Thunderstrucker (and some other people who are not on this board). I wasn't impressed at all. The setlist is built the wrong way, way too many new songs in the beginning. It doesn't work at all.

Also Bono, the guy who thinks he is Jesus.. Brr (and Jesus didn't exist at all - so he is believing in a lie :P). He only sang the new songs in a normal way. All the good old stuff was tuned down or sung really bad. Bad timing, Bono skips a lot of the good stuff. I thought he was terrible yesterday and really lazy.. Wanker!

I enjoyed the show but that might also be because of the bad sound in the ArenA covering his other faults up haha

I salute you,

Doesn't sound like I should expect too much then?

They're not going to blow me away like Jovi does?

Just go with no expection. It was just really lame that Bono didn't give all at the classic songs. And I hate him preaching too.
