I saw them open for the Afghan Whigs at the Vic.

UC might be too big for them.

I just got a free ticket. I cannot go until after games are over so I will have to high tail it to the UC at 7:45 for an 8 show. I'm expecting they won't hit the stage until 8:30 and they will be playing songs from an album I've never heard for at least 15 minutes, maybe more. Not optimal and I wouldn't pay for it but not bad on a freebie.

Probably a typo of BTO -- the kids today love Takin' Care Of Business.

Worse than you could ever imagine.

Friend offered me two skybox tickets for U2 Tuesday night.
I opted to stay with my bleacher tickets to (eventually) see the Cubs lose 10-1......

U2 was my very first "FAVORITE" rock band. But they're not that U2 anymore.
Shirtless, I hope your daughter cherishes this moment forever. It's a great "starting point" for her, for sure.
But for us "old" U2 fans, this just ain't the same. It may as well be Taylor Swift, given the scene.

I thought she was crazy hot at 12 or whenever.

Good to see everyone took care of the obligatory mocking of Dance Gavin Dance while I was sleeping.

Good times.

Back when Maddox was funny, one of his better-known posts was "The Worst Songs of 2004" and it was just How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb start to finish. I hated "Vertigo" too, but that's a little unfair; "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" and "City of Blinding Lights" are fine enough songs even if they're not exactly covering new ground. No Line on the Horizon flat-out sucks worse than any other album of theirs, Songs of Innocence is surprisingly good but made everyone mad because of the iTunes promotion, and Songs of Experience has a couple of good songs but feels like the well is dry.

And apparently they don't play many of their hits on this tour - songs from their last 2 albums mostly.

Instrumentation is too shitty.

She's almost 12, and when I was 13, I saw The Joshua Tree tour at Rosemont Horizon. My mom still talks about seeing The Beatles at The International Ampitheatre when she was like 16. She was so pissed because she couldn't even hear the band over all the screaming. She just wanted to hear Ringo. So it was kind of important to me for her 1st show to be a memorable one. She's going thru a serious BTS phase, and they're coming to the UC in October and I think tix start in the $300 range... She's not going to care about them when she's a sophomore in HS, let alone in her 30s. Everyone will always know who U2 are.

My first concert was Paula Abdul. I thought she was crazy hot at 12 or whenever. The highlight though was Color Me Badd opening.

It may as well be Taylor Swift, given the scene. You should've gone to the UC instead of Wrigley last night. The only times my kid picked up her phone all night (and I didn't even say anything at all about phone usage) was to take pictures of the show, so that was promising. She loved it, but said it was a 'little too loud'. She had ear plugs. It took 2.5 hours from my front door to the Ogden exit , but only 75 minutes to get back home. All in all, it was awesome. My wife went to a nearby theater and saw a movie and only had to wait for us for about a half hour.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the new album at first, but "Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way" has really grown on me. It's as good as the highlights of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which is probably about all you can ask for from a fourteenth U2 album in 2017.

I didn't get out of the house until 8:15 as we had two different games and even though we were back before 8 and the concert was starting my wife said she needed to do her hair. WTF? I was proud of my calm. Still, I was in my seat by 9 as Beautiful Day was starting. It was liberating being late. There was no traffic or any rush at all. I look at the playlist and don't feel I missed much.

I thought the concert was bland. Even their choices for an encore were bland to the point that when they were done, people didn't know the concert was finished. The Joshua Tree show was so perfect in its presentation and the items surrounding it for me that it wouldn't be fair to compare. However, on its own I still don't think this was a very rousing show. It's worth it for me to hear Sunday Bloody Sunday played live. I got what I needed. I wanted more.
