There were many ‘moments‘ to rejoice in this 360 ° Tour, captured and ready to explode at any listening to U22, with the energy of 3 years of touring around the world, with a game of synergy between the band and 7 million of spectators present at 110 concerts.
A concentration of 22 songs, chosen by the fans, the perfect concert, or almost, a concert on demand.
Expressing a preference or just pick a song between them is inevitable difficult thing, perhaps is simplest to indicate the songs that you miss in this compilation, first of all Breathe, the breath of Larry who began with his drum solo all the concerts of 2009.
360 ° Tour, even today, even more with this collection lives up to its name, a vision and a dive to 360 °, the public in the music, the band in the audience, and now a collection of various moments around the world, capable to take us in that moment, in that geographic point where the Claw loomed into the sky.
For anyone who has attended one or more of the 360 ° Tour dates each song will invoke an emotion, a date, a place.
Even better than the real thing: the surprise of a new opener in 2011
The Fly: From the sky down, the Winnipeg Teather , the rehearsal for Glastonbury Festival
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m looking for: the purity of Masukela’ Trumphet
One Tree Hill: rarely played during the tour but as Adam says, a song that always strikes right to the heart
Bad: Rome, the choreography by U2place, the closure of the European Leg of 2010, the pride of saying “I was there”
Zooropa: screens that descend on the 4 band members, to the amazement and dismay of the public
Walk on: the masks of Aung San Suu Kyi, Scarlet which takes the place of MLK in 2010
Ultraviolet (Light my way): The microphone and Bono with his jacket to diffuse flashes of red lights and music
Moment of Surrender: to remind us that every night after the ‘surrender‘ we would attend to another concert, “goodbye” seemed to say the jacket of Bono climbing up
And then the songs that have a special place in the heart of every fan, Until The End Of The World, Where the Streets have no name, Out of Control.
These are my personal ‘moments‘ of the 360 ° Tour, my highlights of U22, apart from being physically present during the execution.
Each fan will find his own in a game of mirrors in which the music reflects the emotions to 360 °.
After having caught a tour champion of record, U2 have managed to positively surprise us with a gift that reminds me of my first LP in the form (Rattle and Hum) but full of colors, memories, photos, comments, from the fans and of the band.
“You can not repeat yourself. You can not rely on things that have been done before by anybody else, you’ve got to find new territory” Edge
We are waiting them in these areas, ready to make us amazed by U2, again and again.
