They had to redesign the whole stage to fit it into the 3Arena last time. Would they want to do that again? I'm not sure..... maybe.

They didn't ,not at all.
All they had to do was move the B stage nearer the main stage ,it was a very simple alteration.

A very simple alteration, which they have done once, so I don't see the problem in doing so again.

The i&e staging was a little cramped in the 3arena, but the music was incredible and the visuals were stunning. Roll on Songs of Experience!

And cut the video screen/cage in half.

It actually took them and their stage designers months to figure out how to fit it all in. At one point they were adamant that they wouldn't be able to bring the full-on I&E tour to Dublin. Check out a few interviews from back them.

They didn't cut it at all. Like someone said, they just moved the b stage.

Yes they feared it wouldn't work.

To be honest I thought it was too tight a squeeze and did not suit the 3arena at all. The Amsterdam show as it was meant to be was far better!

I'd very much recommend seeing it abroad if it does keep the same setup.

The i&e Dublin show was one of the best shows I was ever at in the 3arena and we didn't miss that much comparing it to the Paris DVD. Be thankful we got too see u2 in such Intimate surroundings when they easily have skipped us and played an outdoor show or something

But that was in the past and were still reeling from the awesome Croke Park show 2 weeks ago and the euro leg of the 2017 Joshua Tree tour

Speaking of which, if I wanted to buy tickets for a gig abroad, can i do it on my ticketmaster.ie account or would I need a, for example, ticketmaster.nl or ticketmaster.com a/c?

johnpatrick81

Almost sure you need a local account unless it's U.K. and listed on the Irish site. Been a while since that show though! Someone who went to the recent Amsterdam shows might be able to confirm

I had no problem getting GNR tickets for London recently anyway.

Wouldn't be any harm to try buy tickets for a gig there anyway while you have time before the next tour!

Wherever they play, I'm hoping to get at least 2 shows again. Would love to see them somewhere I havent been.

I had to set up an account on ticketmaster.nl for the Amsterdam gigs last week but it was very easy to get it done even in Dutch, particularly if you're used to using ticketmaster at home.... it's all the same boxes you need to tick, etc. ðŸ‘

don corleone

Yep same myself. Had to set up ticketmaster.nl to get my tickets but there was no hassle at all. I think Brazil would be an amazing setting for a DVD of this tour.

Anyone planning on travelling to North or South America for the next leg?

Seeing U2 in South America is on the bucket list but not this time, unfortunately.

Paris v underwhelming compared to the 3 different cities I saw on that tour. Postponement/circumstances took the wind out of their sails IMO.

Yeah and the eagles of the death metal apperence was odd but it was a nice gesture

Don't they have very good English over in Belgium and Holland ??? So they should have a lot of there sites provided in English

Very disappointing song ,too generic

johnpatrick81

Hard to tell, quality is so shocking on the stream. Can't make out any of the lyrics. 80% crowd noise. Ugh.

The sound is rubbish allright ,as is the video ,tacky crap.

johnpatrick81

Agreed, can't stand "live" videos. It does sound like a promising enough song underneath all the noise though. But yeah, we're not gonna get AB2 Maybe a more raw SOI.

lazer.blue

looks like some of the usual suspects were 'randomly' selected to appear in the video

jsms88

Nice to see the guitars to the fore, particularly the bass. Going to be a great song to hear live.
