That's a good one. To their defense, didn't they play on the back of a truck while rolling down Broadway in 2005ish?doug rr wrote:true story for you: Bono lived around the corner from me in NY and I used to see him all the time..One day he was walking towards me on the street and I said something to the tune of " hey, how about you stop trying to save the world and put on some free concerts here in the city"..he just laughedLament wrote:Not anymore, really. The Stones skyrocketed on this last tour, didn't they? In 2009/2011 U2 was still like $70 for GA, $130 for most reserved, right? We'll see what they are next spring/summer, but I can't see them jumping to the level the Stones were at last year (in large part cause I can't see U2 abandoning the GA floors).

Going back and looking at that picture as soon as I got up this AM was the best move I will make all day. I can't stop smiling.

Re: Where The Streets Have No Name / The U2 Thread
U2's image in the 90's was a self-aware parody of the rock n' roll ethos.
U2's image post-2000 is a cringingly naive embrace of what they think they world thinks they are.

Even Neil is only playing at being Neil.
