The Edge’s solo during The Fly has to be one of the best guitar (and at the same time most underrated) solos of history.

[@TonyTMH]

Yes sir

Bono with same outfits same glasses 30 years ago amazing❤ the fly my fav song, thank you huys for sharing

[@Rocknrollerrink]

My favorite Edge solo, perfection.

yes!!!!

U2 without Larry isn't U2. Any real, longterm fan will acknowledge this. If Paul McGuinness would've still been manager, this stupid decision would have never been made. No offence to Bram, but this doesn't sound right. What a disappointment.

Did they pretty much do the whole achtung baby record the first part of the show? If so that's fucking awesome

[@cantyouhearmeknocking1961]

When I saw this live he used a Gibson LP Custom. It sounded much bigger/fuller.

[@815Lucas]

He has always alternated between the Strat (Zoo TV, Glastonbury) and the Les Paul (Elevation tour) for this one. In the original video, he's using a Les Paul. Dont know which guitar he used for the recording. I think it sounds great either way.

Funny to think that the band ended like McPhisto: old glories in their dusk living from a glorious past while acting in LAS VEGAS.

[@hdmedia7404]

McPhisto wearing a wig 🥳👩‍🦰✌🏻

[@harryireland1935]

This is the most disappointing event in the band's history. It's a sideshow of money and profiting on past performances, rather than producing anything decent. Bono said it himself, if U2 is no longer relevant, that's the end. And this is the end. The decision to leave out Larry and just replace him rather than waiting for his recovery is based on money, or greed, or instant gratification. Whatever the reason, it sounds awful. Any longterm fan will acknowledge that you clearly hear the difference. No offence to Bram, but there's only one Larry Mullen. What a shameful way to destroy a band's trackrecord and legacy.

[@jacksonmiked]

I don’t agree. Bono said that they feel a band needs to play live and they hadn’t done it for a long time so they didn’t want to wait another year or two while Larry recovers, and Larry is okay with that. You can either have U2 radio silence until 2025 or an autobiography, 40 songs reimagined with some an improvement others not so much, and an interesting light show and Edge clearly picking up extra vocal duties to compensate for Bono’s diminishing range. It’s all good.

[@harryireland1935]

@@jacksonmiked It's nowhere even close to being 'good'. There's no excuse for replacing a bandmember. Any bandmember. This isn't U2. So you go ahead and come up with all kinds of excuses or reasons to defend a really horrible decision. As far as I'm concerned, this is the beginning of the end. And I honestly couldn't care less about rehashed old material. As Bono said himself, U2 can only continue to exist as long as they're relevant. I guess he's right about that.

[@hdmedia7404]

@@jacksonmiked I wonder if Bono does not sing in playback:/ Listen to the Fly version ... it's blatant !

[@theresaflannery1992]

Soo is u2 Beelzebub..lord of flies? What's all the subliminal jump cuts about 666 Jesus weeping for

[@davitmyan]

That thing is a technology used for decades to condition subconcious mind for a certain thing. In cinema they have put a cola word, few times for much shorter than a second. More colas were sold than ever in the same cinema. They mock God and they want people to fear, feel as victims, be agressive psychopaths and be attracted to sex and prostitution. This and other technologies are used for over a century for making people degenerate, which they become increasingly. The world is not what is portrayed on tv, and what is spoken by politicians. This is the best hour for satan, so he uses it, but his time is short, and he will be dropped in the hell and then the hell will get dropped to the lake of fire by God, and there will be 1000 year peace in the world.
