U2 : Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary

Post by Malcolm »

Thread so named because of the lame-ass 4-character minimum search requirement. Announced a date of 08-Sept in Minneapolis at Bird Killer Stadium. Sets thus far in the tour have been very, very 20th century-heavy. The only post-2000 songs are a couple of the bigger singles from "All That You Can't Leave Behind." You may also remember that as the album when they stopped giving a fuck.

I bet you'd go see them if they disappointed you as much as the Redskins.

They definitely have some decent songs in their library, but am I alone in thinking they're vastly overrated?

After about 2000, they are. Haven't put out a solid album in 20 years.

1980's and early-mid 90's U2 was pretty awesome, for a long time.

Tonight. This is my bet for "tour that earns the most money this calendar year" award.
