Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Right now I am listening to The Unforgettable Fire remastered edition (with bonus cd and booklet as well!) and it is FUCKING AMAZING! It's the best remastered cd I have ever bought. It is scarily awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagpie Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 You guys hear about what U2 is doing for the Montreal show? Spending $3 million to expand the venue they are playing at. Insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 any noticeable differences? Just that there seems to be more energy and it's much more alive than the older cd I had. Plus the deluxe edition with the extra unreleased materials and bsides as well as live songs is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litany Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Interesting! I think I'll have to pick one up. TUF is my favourite U2 album. I started to become hesitant about the remasters after the only noticeable difference (to me) re: The Joshua Tree was it was a bit louder and slightly more crisp (although I love the deluxe set of it. The book is very lovely and I adore the live DVD too.). The deluxe box I got with the first three albums is one I really wish I hadn't bought. I like the extras but the remastering doesn't really seem all that great and I think I could have put my money to better use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I was looking at the UF remaster today, but didn't really feel like dishing out $35 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Shell out the bucks, Briggins!:P We know you Canadians are loaded!!;) Why do I suspect that avatar is trying to tell me something? (jogs memory..).:escaping3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Haha, well I'm shelling out plenty of $$$ to see them in Montreal :P Between Montreal, Boston, and No Line on The Horizon, Briggins has invested lots of bones in the bank of U2. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay_is_louve. Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm sure it's worth it to shell out the big bucks. :cool::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yangarin Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 They don't have to move the claw. They have 3 of them, so one can be used for the current concert and another can be set up in the next city. You may, in fact, get a 2nd show. Who knows? I didn't know that. Thanks! I will keep my fingers crossed :D But I remember I read (a while ago) something about a cancellation in NJ or NY for that reason. I might be wrong.

halokiti Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I didn't know that. Thanks! I will keep my fingers crossed :D But I remember I read (a while ago) something about a cancellation in NJ or NY for that reason. I might be wrong. The NJ show was moved b/c a football game got moved up in time and they wouldn't have had enough time to dismantle the stage. I don't know if I want to go see them again on this tour, not a big fan of the stage and Bono sounded rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's fewer better investments in life than getting something uplifting and having that larger-than-life experience - it's worth being part of something greater, something grander, something... something with claws!:P **We could all just collect albums, and save them in the original wrapper, knowing they'll be worth a fortune some day (like the Beatles lunch boxes in 'mint condition') - but what fun would that be???:)** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but thank goodness someone keeps the original in the wrapper - then it can be remastered for us to listen to again!:laugh3:) I thought it was funny watching the checkout gal here at our local U-fill giving Bono the eye-exam when he handed her his ID..:lol: (it must have taken here a good two minutes gazing lovingly into his eyes - I think actually enjoyed it though.:P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Got tickets for the second night in Anaheim. I'm taking my step-mom to this one and I don't think she'd fare well in a GA Floor, so I settled for some higher seats. Should still be fun, though. Lately I've gotten really addicted to "Even Better than the Real Thing". One of U2's catchiest songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
