An old U2 Performance from Live Aid

When I read their synopsis of "electronic elements" meets "jam band" I was expecting a lot worse. For the most part it seemed like music you'd put on for ambiance or something.

 

Rick Beato is fantastic. One of the best YT channels out there

 

Yeah, I totally don't get the U2 blowback. Baffling. I love the fact that they're still together. ACDC (sans Malcolm, RIP), Stones (minus Watts), Springsteen n E St (minus Clemens)... Aerosmith, ZZ Top (minus Rocky Hill), the Who... very few bands stick together for as long as U2 has.

...and i love me some Edge. Bono's vocals might fuel the songs, but the Edge's guitar grounds the music, and give it their industrial feel.

Funny thing--one of my kids is a big U2 fan--whats funny, is that while we both like U2, our tastes in U2 songs differ vastly. He favors the hits that Bono powers; i much prefer the songs (mostly not hits) where Edge's guitar features more prominently, and gives the song its feel.

 

^^^side note/PS: (can't tell him or any of my kids this, and when I told my wife, it effectively killed it for me, as my wife refused to share the soundtrack with other women, but....): Joshua Tree is the best CD to have sex to. Don't take my word for it--put it the test.

 

Is that venue in Ft. Collins? Silverthorne? It kinda reminds of the lake there near your condo.

 

Only two things come from TX? Steers & . . . . . . . squares?

 

Its all fun and games until you finish and your lady starts belting out "I still havent found what I'm looking for"

 

He could always answer with this if she tries to leave...


I'll see myself out
