    Or do a Zoo Redux tour like the Joshua Tree tour. Play AB and Zooropa in their entirety.

    totally agree that 360 tour was mind blowing. being up close was not the right decision on that tour  ;)   imo

    I dunno.  We were up in the pit right up at the front.   Had Bono/Edge playing on those moving bridges right over our heads.  It was a pretty amazing experience :)

    I wish they had an in between version like a 4 or 6 disc set. I love records, but I don’t need those 5x12” discs.

    Say does anyone know if U2 is working on an album or not?

    I think they are always writing and recording, but I’m sure COVID has made it difficult. But no, they aren’t officially ramping up to anything as of now.

    Towards the end of last year they were starting to work on new music with producer Ryan Tedder.   Supposedly going in a very different direction.

    The best direction they could go in right now is away from Ryan Tedder...far away.

    I already bought this album when it got a vinyl pressing a few years back.  All I really want is the live album.   It would be nice if someday they give it a separate release.   I very rarely bother to put on the outtakes, demo, and alternate cuts takes of big boxsets.

    Picked up No Line on the Horizon two LP clear vinyl yesterday and am amazed how incredible this pressing sounds. I was always a bit iffy about this album but this pressing has changed my mind. You can really hear the space between the guitars and drums. It reveals just how gorgeous many of the songs are. Have been playing it all day.

    You have now influenced me to buy a copy.  I haven't given that album a fair shake :)

    It took a while but that album really did grow on me.  Seeing it live helped a lot too.  I need to dig it back out.  Wish I could say the same about the last album.  I did grab the new ATYCLB but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

    Ya, the last album is hard to get into to. But I said that about Pop as well and I dig that album now, so who knows.
