[@johnnysmith4381]

Every time I used to hear Lemon I thought “no way they’d be able to perform this live properly”… this performance is just breathtaking

[@khanonkhaz2868]

If Depeche mode could've play live their music ofc U2 could also,some back tapes,some keyboard and the band did the rest... simple tasks

[@markwilliamson4834]

Too bad they have not played it since this Aussie tour...Lemon shows what happens when you don't play it safe and have the talent to back it up. They need another Achtung! reset!

Massively underrated time period

I was there! Both the Sydney shows, the Adelaide and the 2 Melbourne ones! I skipped my Year 12 final exams to do this! Best choice ever hahahaha. It was epic. EPIC!!!! Sometimes the best decisions are the rebellious ones like skipping History finals to see this epic band! No regrets!

[@michaelburland5175]

Good job you spelt that word right. They would have banned you for a month. Ha ha.

[@tomhoulgate6597]

The great thing avput u2 is their versatility. Look at led zeppelin, its mostly all just hard rock, u2 have everything. Youve got hard rock on songs such as exit and bullet the blue sky, there are anthems theres , "popy" music and there are hugely experimental songs such as zoo station. Very few if any other bands can play such a great range of styles

[@nickkabbabe1953]

I love that about them and as you get more familiar with their songs then you realise how right you are. I don't know of any other band with so many great tunes.

[@TheAgandaur]

That's literally why I consider them to be the best band of all time. Few other bands are as versatile, Radiohead comes to mind with their switch from alt-rock to electronica with Ok Computer and Kid A. Bu U2 is on a whole another level. You've got early post-punk U2, experimental U2 of the mid-80s (The Unforgettable Fire), the Americana U2 (Joshua & Rattle), the what-the-fuck-explosion-of-colors-and-sounds U2 of the 1990s, and then the return to softer sound (ATYCLB), and even hard rock (HTDAAB). Bands like Led Zeppeling, AC/DC, Queen, etc. are great, but come on.... They are/were literally playing the same stuff for literally decades. U2 is actually an excellent gateway to so many different genres of music.

[@mrmeerkat1096]

@@TheAgandaur I agree with what you said about u2. Queen are another band who have a wide range of different song's, from hard Rock to ballads. Bowie also has alot of different styles. Brian eno produced this song Lemon with U2 and Oakenfold. But he also produced alot of Bowies work and I know he encourages band's and artists to change their styles and evolve their sound.

[@danielclayton5350]

I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't like Led Zeppelin, but if you think that hard rock blues covers is all they did, then you clearly don't know their discography very well. Listen to "Going to California" and "Bron Y Aur" and "No Quarter" just to name a few. Very different than their hard rock stuff.

[@mullaneugene]

well, technically he's the devil 😄 , but I know what you mean....!

[@jeffcristofono3468]

These two songs together are the coda of the show. It's a massive transition from Macphisto's arrogance in "Lemon" to the stripped down character in "With or Without You". From 8m 25s mark to the the 8m 56s mark is where it all transitions from the superficial to the very real. Of course it gets heavier from here with "Love Is Blindness" but resolution is found in the final "Can't Help Falling In Love".

[@EngHawJF]

Totally agree

[@cw9817]

The five-song Zoo TV character arc for MacPhisto, in which all of his self-confidence and arrogance are stripped away to reveal a needy, pathetic child (but not one without hope for change) is U2's finest live moment, IMHO. It's theologically profound, as Bono portrays Satan as someone who still is very much haunted by God (throughout this concert, God is represented by the camera that Bono interacts with in his various roles) and, when stripped of his pride, finds that he still "Can't Help Falling in Love" with God at some deep place inside. And so U2 end the concert with the hope that anyone, including Satan, might return to God.

‏Wow, I have so much to say about them💖💖💖, I have no idea where to start! ‏I am a 16 year old girl and I loveeeeee U2💜💜, for 9 months now I hear their songs everyday all the time!! Before that I always knew they existed because my mom loves the 80’s music, but I never understood why they are so special! I started with 5 songs in my playlist😂, by that time I only began to actually understand why their music is so extraordinary and important to everyone and myself! Now I have about 60 songs in my playlists and I know each one of them by heart 💖, I love Bono’s voice and I find so much meaning in each song ! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Even my book report was about ‘SURRENDER’ During those days the situation in my country is not easy, for 9 months people are protesting and trying to defend human rights and the idea of democracy and liberty! I try to protest whenever I can because those ideas and my country are so important to me!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I am sure that this is one of the reasons why I feel so connected to their music.💙 during this period U2 has always been one of the places I can escape to, and always makes me feel better🫶🏻🫶🏻. The fact that I haven’t met any other teenagers who love or even know U2 makes me really sad😢, because I really believe that anyone can learn something from their songs and ideas!!!!! I saw them for the first time on the 30 of September with my mom (can’t believe she agreed to fly to Las Vegas😂, it took us 27 hours to get there🤣), at their second show at the sphere💖 I’m sure it will remain one of the most memorable moments of my life!! Once Bono walked on that stage I couldn’t believe what I saw!! I wish I had the chance to talk to them😔 hope I will someday on their next shows🫶🏻 Love U2 so much❤️❤️
