We’ve posted 124 great photos from the last New York show by Jason Brice herehttp://u2.gs/qk9j #U2ieTour http://t.co/YXztgYc989
@joej2012 Lovetown Tour Melbourne in 1989. Have a look here: http://www.u2gigs.com/Ex…
@wesy_b @inztantkarma Hah yeah. If it’s an arena tour though I expect the rotation to finally be broken and Perth to get the nod.
@stubby70 I (Ax) would dearly love U2 to play my hometown Wellington again… but no chance of that on an arena tour.
@stubby70 @SallieAnnG @U2Sydney @rileyrat I am concerned that if U2 do semi-residency model in Aus (a la 2015 legs), NZ may miss out.
@SallieAnnG @U2Sydney @rileyrat @stubby70 Yeah there should be no trouble with arena staging in the five main capitals or Auckland.
@U2Sydney @rileyrat @stubby70 I don’t think light half the prob here that it is in northern Europe! Main issue is staging.
@SallieAnnG @U2Sydney @rileyrat @stubby70 All but definite Euro & North American legs next year, but should still be room for Australia!
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs Take You Down is on the Axtung Beibi bootleg. It’s awesome.
@rileyrat @U2Sydney @stubby70 Yeah all I’ve heard has said arenas so far - but why wait until 2017 to do that?
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs Take You Down spawned 3 Achtung era songs: Fly, UV, LadyWTSH. “Wake up dead man” line then lingered to 97!
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs Stand Up Comedy x11 to troll the world.
@U2Sydney @rileyrat @stubby70 Yeah agreed. This makes me worried they’ll do stadiums here - those will need time to rebuild demand.
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs In turn, parts of Pop originated in Achtung or Zooropa sessions. Wake Up Dead Man and The Fly share origins!
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs After all 90-00 took the biggest singles from ATYCLB already, and U2:18 hits some other ATYCLB/HTDAAB bases.
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs As I understand it, U2:18 completed contract for 3 Best Ofs. I wonder if they’d wait to do 2000-20 volume?
@AnonYTerSongs @StartAtlnfinity They do love recycling random old stuff though. COBL a good example - its origins are in the Pop sessions.
@rileyrat @stubby70 So if they come in 2017 rather than 2016 it allows one more year for that undercurrent of demand to develop.
@rileyrat @stubby70 Part of the logic may be to rebuild Aussie demand. 360 had weaker attendance than Vertigo & SOI less popular than NLOTH.
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs I was kind of surprised how little recycling there was on SOI from the unreleased songs played in 2010-11.
@stubby70 I know, I’m surprised by this new rumour. Sources are strong but I hope the tour’s actually 2016.
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs Yeah it’d make a nice b-side. Being written for Spiderman musical prob kills chances of being on an album.
@RJHenderson7 Almost a given. Probably mid-2016 and likely arenas again. Hot rumour right now says Philly in June.
@StartAtlnfinity @AnonYTerSongs Yep, that’s the only time it was played - though it was soundchecked in New Zealand: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
