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 […]

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 […]

Did you think it was possible for night two to be even better than night one? I didn’t, but I was wrong! What made U2’s second night at Rogers Arena in Vancouver superior to the kick off night of the tour, in my opinion, were these moments: Miracle Drug – and as if this wasn’t enough… […]

There is no way I can do last night justice. You were all there, in some way, whether you were in Vancouver (and if you were, the rest of us hate you) or you were streaming live on Periscope, where the only person who was there that the rest of us love is named Derek […]
