I hate when they upload it kids mode

Sounds great!  Haven’t always been a huge fan of that song - but might be after that, lol.

Well done, EV!!

Wow sounds great!  I'd love for them to cover that next tour. 

Tim Simmons

yeah, seeing as U2 probably won't be touring next year, play this one next summer.

Elevation is an awful song imo, even Ed can’t save it. Looking forward to hearing the One cover though.

Apparently Mary J Blige was sick and couldn't go on. Not sure. 
Also the guy uploaded it 3 times. This one you can comment

He says he needs surgery before he can tour again. Excellent article here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/11/28/u2-kennedy-center-honors/?fbclid=IwAR3cyOWlUVBNudgFjWCs0eK8vajxSXB2Yj7VSWBs_aVmr66pXAovXkzd2Yc.

That's a tough call.  They aren't getting any younger, but they're one of the few bands that managed to keep the original lineup through their entire careers.   If you've only got so many touring years left in you, do you sit out a year,  and wait for Larry Mullen Jr. to heal up, or do hire a touring drummer.  Touch decisions to be had in the U2 camp.

Said no one ever.

So cool! Almost posted about this earlier but figured it would be up eventually!

Really cool. PJ might want to up the tempo a little if they were to cover it. Looks like Ed was wanting it to have a bit more lift.
