I saw Bono at the Beacon Theater last night. It was amazing. It was a mixture of telling some life stories, and singing some U2 songs. I went to the Dave Grohl storyteller show as well in 2021, and Bono's seemed much more theatrical. Dave was being his goofy self telling funny stories and showing awkward photos of himself. Bono's seemed much more performance art - but both were really good.

So they will perform all of Achtung! I hope they do other songs from their catalog too.

I hope everyone here has fun. I just couldn’t do. News of them doin a residency is just so depressing to me. Then it being without Larry was even more depressing. My two favorite bands are in such a depressing state.

I don't have a problem with them doing a Residency.

What's up with NO Larry? and is that for every show?

Yeah i was shocked that they doing this residency without Larry just not sure how that came about I know it’s a neck/back issue! But im really looking forward to the Sphere venue being a modern state of the art venue should be insane for a show, plus I’m sure GA won’t be like a regular GA where everyone is packed in. What’s the other band you talking about?

Yeah, Larry is out for the whole run. Back and elbow issues. Supposedly had or having surgery. Can't do it physically right now.

Yes, it will likely be similar to the Joshua Tree 30 shows where AB will get played in full (may or may not be in sequence per Edge), plus other songs. A full concert. Plus, visuals on the Sphere. Unfortunately, also very likely to also contain a Songs of Surrender section with 3 or 4 acoustic takes on songs.

I hope so that will be great! Any word on who will be behind the kit? I’m really curious as to how they pull it off, I won’t mind some acoustic it depends on when in the show for me they do it!!
