One, EBW and Bad (with Nick Cave cover) - Melbourne TJT Tour 15/11/2019

Bono's voice is as good as I've heard it this century, he sounds fantastic!

One includes Bono's "global crisis" speech that triggered climate change skeptics:

It's hard to hear in the recording, but the entire stadium was singing One, Bono stopped and let us do it:


EBW, stripped down piano version:


Bad/Into My Arms (Nick Cave)

With Or Without You

Sound was not great his voice sounded good.

Where The Streets Have No Name:

Yeah the venue is awful for big rock bands like U2. The stadium's acoustics were designed for football, so if the crowd's small the noise would still be loud and make it sound like a bigger crowd's there. Which makes it hard to soundcheck because crowds make it different. Also, the roof was open for the start of the show but was closed later (during the TJT set I think) due to a bit of rain (it was only a light spring shower, hardly anything!). So the sound was affected by the roof. I don't know if U2's techs did proper soundchecks, it could have been better. But honestly, it still sounded great for most areas (just a bit bass heavy).

Phone recording quality varies too!

Its all good no matter what.Wish  I was there.

Will check those out in the morning. It's almost midnight here and I'm wiped out.

Have they played Stuck in a moment and dedicated to Michael Hutchence of INXS..

Wow that was a much more credible Bad than I was expecting. Seems like it was a really good moment in the show with the cell phone lights and the Nick Cave snippet.

Was just thinking, Bad has long since become centered around the snippet, whatever it may be.

I have better video of that! Trying to figure out how to post it. The poor busker dressed as Darth Vader wanted to go home but we all kept making him play again and again and again and again...
