Sometimes, I feel like what I do with analyzing lyrics is a special kind of witchcraft. I take Bono’s awesome rhymes, mix them with a splash of newt’s foot, and chant the chorus of the selected song a few times when I really should be trying to sleep. And somehow, this mystical process allows me […]
Read MoreU2 at the Roxy – Hollywood, CA May 28
U2’s club show at the legendary Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, sponsored by KROQ and available to radio station winners only (unless you’re Jack Nicholson or Judd Apatow, both spotted in the audience) was by all accounts an incredible show. Special thanks to @U2br/U2 Brazil’s Sil Rigote, who gave the U2 fan community the clear, uninterrupted audio we needed to experience it with everyone at […]
Read MoreU2 Inglewood Forum May 26th Review
With the breaking news that U2’s only tour manager, Dennis Sheehan, passed away after last night’s show, tonight is bound to be emotional. Despite that, I have the distinct honor of giving U2 Radio’s first U2 Innocence + Experience Tour review (meaning I was there in person – as opposed to a recap, which would mean I […]
Read MoreU2101: In God’s Country
I’m trying to be mindful of current events as I write these articles, and one of the biggest events of this past week came on Friday night when U2 broke out The Joshua Tree’s “In God’s Country” during their concert in Phoenix, Arizona.

Bono promised the crowd a show that would “transcend last night,” so many of us went into tonight with high expectations. Well, I’m not sure if he delivered 100% on that promise in terms of setlist – but as far as energy goes, it was still a great show. As I said on the Twitters, […]

When we saw the photos and videos today – from Bono meeting fans on the lineup to Larry’s fun soundcheck video in the early evening – we knew U2’s first night in Phoenix would be something special, and it definitely was. Unlike the first night in San Jose (yikes), there was some high energy and heart in […]
Read MoreHey, Guy Oseary!
So I invited my boy, Guy Oseary to Boston in July for a little sit down, a pow wow, a meeting of the two biggest super powers in U2’s camp, alright…one super power & the other, a pathetic, little unknown blogger, to straighten all this nonsense out. Incredibly, I have yet to hear back from […]

I’m saying it here and now, I believe night two in San Jose was better than night one – do we see a trend happening here? It almost makes me wish I was going to night two in LA instead of night one…okay, let’s not get carried away here. Phoenix is Friday and Saturday; in the meantime, […]

Night one in San Jose did not disappoint! Highlights included Bono joking about Edge’s fall again, and asking Adam how he feels about being a married man now. Adam’s response: “I feel like a natural woman.” The Periscope app helped fans all over the world tune in to watch the live stream again, but it seems the […]
Read MoreU2101 – Bullet the Blue Sky
So, two shows into the new tour, what changes are we looking at? One missed a show – the first since that song’s debut. Of course, several new songs made their debuts at full U2 concerts, and a couple of golden oldies also found their way back into the set-list. Most notable of those, in […]
