    That tutu speech intro into streets sounds as though it is going to be quite epic (and it may be the first time in a long time that Bono wont be able to talk all over that beautiful intro! :P ) – does anyone know if they’ve used the ‘album version’ organ intro live before? makes sense, as it’s also in album tuning!

    That’s what I thought.. sounds more like the album intro than the live one.

    Agreed on the Tutu/Streets moment – tear-jerker for sure. And yes, that sounds like the Joshua Tree loop. Interesting … HOPEFULLY the lights pop on in the intro, unlike last tour. If that is the JT loop, it would indeed be the first time they’ve used it. Yes. Man, can’t wait any longer. Might order more tickets :-)

    DO NOT like ‘Crazy Tonight’ … might lose some people there during that part of the set. Sorry.

    The third set of results from the 2012 U2 Fan Survey is now available, and it takes us through your votes on U2's albums and songs. As a reminder, the survey was open from April 5th through April 30th. We received completed responses from 3,530 fans in 79 countries this year, both of which are down from 2010. We think that's likely due to the band […]

    How would you like to have a wall in your house covered with perfectly framed U2 album cover art?

A host of tech legends and celebrities each paid tribute to Jobs in five words or less, a Webby Awards tradition. It looks like Bono’s contribution was recorded within the past week, but that’s just a guess. [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.Bono Pays […]
