damn thats massive and seems so fun!

I saw a few GA videos and the crowd was dead, it was kinda embarrassing and made me remember an interview with Bono saying that he wished they had a more intense crowd in the states.

Well I mean is anyone even paying attention to the band in this situation?
I wouldnt be and I like them
People queuing up all night to get those ga wristbands are kinda missing the experience. Dead center or up at the back would be the beast seats in the house.
Wonder if they’re priced like that

If this wasn’t >$500 for obstructed view I would totally go see this. Thigh I bet the crowds will get worse once the show is on. YouTube

If you are in GA and have the band so close, you should go nuts. Not gonna happen in this tour i guess. Its Vegas.

Still, seems its impressive and fun to see it from every seat.

Well that was insanely cool. Only knocks are the sound system maybe isn’t as amazing as advertised (it’s still great) and for a long stretch of the show, the visuals were kinda underutilized before returning in a big way. I assume that’s U2 wanting a bit more of the spotlight for part of the set.

so is this a show where the music is the focus with the visuals as the backdrop, or the visuals are the focus with the music as the backdrop?

It’s a good balance/mix of both. Those involved did a nice job there.

Yes, though I bought them so long ago it’s hard to really say.

That’s a win. If you dont remember and they didn’t make a huge dent in the wallet and ongoing headache all to the good.

Was never a big U2 fan, I liked them but not obsessed, but Joshua Tree and Inforgettable Fire aged well imho

Exit has incredible guitars. Maybe the band’s peak.
