And I think I will be picking up the 2-CD Achtung Baby reissue with the disc of demos. It's also remastered!
I dunno what the deal is with Slane, some sorta magic....both the U2 dvd and the RHCP one are absolute gems. I can't even say how many times ive watched them both. They're both mashed up and look like ass, cause ive watched them so many times and carried them with me everywhere.

I still think Bono can belt out notes actually, seen them in 2005 and 2009 (which was their last sweden gig) and I'd not skip a gig if they came back. I really appreciate the fact that the shows dont seem overly manuscripted, even tho I obv think it must have been way better and more magical 15 years ago. Isnt that usually the case like.

A few of the later albums have many tracks that are a bit meh and that id skip. A man and a woman, crumbs from your table, get on your boots etc are completely boring and not exciting in the slightest, but theres gems like miracle drug and city of blinding lights and later on moment of surrender, that id count as up there with the best. When moment of surrender came on as the last song of the 2009 concert I properly cried like a baby.

Overall I love u2, even tho almost every album obv has songs that I skip and dont care for. So do most Jovi albums, and most albums out there in gerenal so yea, thats just the way it is.
The live shows ive been to havent showed much weakness tbh.
