Don't most bands play kind of the same set on a particular tour? E.g. Joshua Tree tour. That's just the world we now live in that a lot of things are known in advance. |

U2 have admitted they are not technically good enough to mix it up and they tried the Juke box thing and messed up in the past.
.they tend to go with a very rehearsed choreographed set. Work off a about 25 songs of which they play 23. |

I will find the quotes but they have said it so many times that the studio KS hard work for them as they are technically not great musicians. By the way I am a fan. They come from the punk movement which was anti bands being virtuoso's.
I think it was the rattle and him tour where they tried to mix it up a bit and it didn't work for them. Since then they have usually worked a core group of songs on any tour and then play 90% of them, playing around with three or four Max. Part of the reason is their inability to just play like a bar stool blues band but also with the shows becoming more and more complex the serlist needs to be pretty standard as the videos are all lined up. |

What time did the gig actually finish?

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Think it was just after 11 bells.
Brilliant gig. Croker is a smashing venue - logistics to be applauded too.

Spot on McG.
The dimensions of the Hill where the stage is set up makes it. In summer when the gigs are on you get lots of natural light coming in to the stadium from behind and beside the stage and it adds to the event. As good a stadium for a gig as any out there ! |

They were sh*te for ACDC and RHCP when I was there. Was in seats for both. Would not go to another stadium gig unless I had standing tickets and guaranteed to be near the front

Of topic Bronze I'll be on a job in Manchester on Wednesday and Thursday night so probably around for a beer Wednesday night. Wednesday is in the Etihad Stadium so we might be staying some where near there.

Yeah seats at Croker are awful for a gig. You're basically watching the people on the pitch who are at a gig.
I was the opposite with the light too - hate having a gig with so much light flooding in. Really ruins the light shows that U2 and Coldplay were trying to put on. Springsteen last year came on stage at 7.30 - the sin was shining in the eyes of the Cusack stand for the first 2 hours of his set.

Terrific gig. The highlights for me were Bad, Exit, Vertigo and Elevation. The last two mentioned are nowhere near my favourite U2 songs but both were brilliant on the night.

Remember seeing u2 for the Vertigo tour and was on the stand for the Sat night and the pitch for the Monday and the difference in sound was huge. Would never go see anyone in a stadium and bot be on the pitch, unless I got free tickets and all I wanted to do was have a fee beers.
June and July gigs in Ireland are ruined by our north west location and how much daylight we get in the summer. U2 in slane in August and September was perfect Edited by Baldrick - 24 Jul 2017 at 1:49pm |

Thought Saturday was great gig was on the wheelchair platform about halfway down the pitch so had a perfect view of the stage and screen
Hearing the Joshua tree in full was special and the small extras like the fly over during streets were good. Getting the new song at the end was nice touch for the fans in attendance even though alot weren't aware of what the song was |
