Loved the movie. Very well done. I loved hearing the evolution of One. Hope it's on demand so I can watch it again.

Just listened to a few tracks from the deluxe edition back-to-back with the same tracks from the original release. Honestly I can't tell any difference between the two. I know it hasn't actually been remastered, but somebody mentioned that it's been tweaked, polished, and a bit louder. But to my ears I can't hear much of a difference at all, sonically or volume-wise. Granted, my hearing is probably a little messed up from years and years of attending live concerts and playing in bands. So maybe my ears just can't notice it. Anyone else care to weigh in on this subject?

This week has finally arrived!! Who's receiving their Achtung Baby boxset soon?
I got mine on Friday. Really enjoying it at the moment, the Kindergarten disc with the early versions, the outtakes (and B-Sides) and the remixes. A nice trip down memory lane!

'Baby' Love Is Blindness is also amazing. Very, very dark. And also quite different from the released version, owing more to trip-hop than the original.
finally saw the doc last night. blown away...especially by the way the stumbled upon One. bono's reaction was priceless.
one of all time fav songs on one of my all time fav albums. loved the organic way that song came together. got goosebumps just writing about it now.
:thumbup: That part was absolutely amazing. I loved hearing Bono arrange it.

Saw the doc and I must say, it might have been the first time I had the chills and a boner at the same time.

I heard this somewhere and wanted to know if it's true that the band barely gained any money from the ZOO TV Tour? Anyone heard this before?

That is correct, though 'barely gained any money' is all relative. From what I understand they did walk away from the Zoo TV Tour with about $30 million. However, most -if not all- of that was from merchandise sales. And considering the gross from ticket sales that isn't much. They were burning money at that time, putting so much back into the shows. The costs of that tour were enormous (for that time) and the ticket prices were very reasonable. So it was a thin line between profit and loss. Had the summers when they were touring been a bit different with lower ticket sales, then they probably had made a loss on it.

I'm quite happy with mine, I have the original and I would say the new one sounds better.
Thanks. I found an original on eBay for $70 and was wondering if I should get that one or the reissue version.

I was listening to Celtic Crush the other day (XM radio program featuring Celtic music) and they played Who's Gonna Ride Your WIld Horses. Afterwards, the host (Larry Kirwin, singer for Black 47) was raving about Bono's lyrical wit and the line "who's gonna taste your saltwater kisses". He basically went gay and wished he was getting saltwater kisses from Bono, he loved that line so much.

I will be 80 years old and still love this album.
:thumbup: Classic album. Never gets old.

I wouldnt say it's underrated. Just about my favourite U2 album, I agree with the person who said every track's good and there's no fillers on it.
