Originally posted by Moliere View PostIt was very good. Excellent show but as someone pointed out in the concert thread, stadium shows are tough. The sounds echoed a bit. The stage was awesome with the large screen and it was cool to hear the Joshua Tree straight through. Bono even gave a one minute praise to W and Laura Bush for their work with AIDS in Africa. Tickets were expensive but overall it was worth it.

Even with the acoustically difficult conditions, it was a fantastic show, here's the Seattle setlist below. Couldn't really have asked for more. Being Seattle, as is wont to happen, Eddie Vedder joined Bono on stage for "Mothers of the Disappeared". Unscheduled rendition of "I Will Follow" wrapped up the show, The Edge was bouncing around the stage--and the stadium was rocking. Bono's voice has held up well, I was quite pleasantly surprised. They really seemed to enjoy playing through the older material. The show was political, but I wasn't bothered by it, U2's music has always been political--whether discussing tragedies, historic events, social injustices, or other events they have found moved them enough to write about. There's no separating entertainment from politics for them.
B stage:
Sunday Bloody Sunday
New Year's Day
A Sort of Homecoming (with "America" snippet)
Bad (with "America" snippet; tour debut)
Pride (In the Name of Love)
The Joshua Tree (main stage):
Where the Streets Have No Name (with "California (There Is No… more ))
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
With or Without You
Bullet the Blue Sky
Running to Stand Still
Red Hill Mining Town
In God's Country
Trip Through Your Wires
One Tree Hill
Exit (with "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" snippet)
Mothers of the Disappeared (with Eddie Vedder) (also with Mumford & Sons;… more )
Encore:
Beautiful Day (with "Love, Reign O'er Me" snippet)
Elevation
Ultraviolet (Light My Way) (dedicated to women's rights activists)
One (dedicated to David Wojnarowicz)
B-Stage:
Miss Sarajevo (Passengers cover) (with "The New Colossus " snippet)
The Little Things That Give You Away
I Will Follow (tour debut)
Note: "I Will Follow" was not on the printed setlist. This was the first time "I Will Follow" closed a show since 2 Dec. 1982.

Two new albums that are excellent:
Planetarium by Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner, and James McAllister: It is brilliant. Highly recommend if you like Sufjan Stevens at all. Everything he releases just seems to get better and better.
Relaxer by alt-J: Never listened to much of alt-J, but I'm really digging this new album.
And a new song from Radiohead:
I Promise: This was supposedly left on the cutting room floor when they put together OK Computer. Supposed to be on the remastered version of OK Computer that is coming out soon.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Heard it a while ago on the Beatles Channel on Sirius/XM and they said that while George Harrison wrote the song, he wasn't satisfied with the way he could play it. So to record the song, they brought in Eric Clapton under a pseudonym since he was contracted to some other studio."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
