Agree with the general balance of opinion here. Urban Jungle was my first tour and for that reason it will always be special to me as I only saw 1 show ( the 2nd last night of the tour) and I thought it would be my only ever show! Large parts of my show featured on the official 'At the Max' video. Looking back at the old videos, the tour seems to be too slick, over managed and over

Last year in Europe she was very visible indeed at most shows and I went to 3. She seemed to pop up everywhere. I saw her several times in Oslo. She stayed with Grandpa in his hotel and was frequently seen smoking out at the front door. crawdaddy will second me on that! She took photos of the early queueing fans at the Telenor Arena and then audience shots once we were all inside, posting them u

Great news that you're back Mr DP! The place was much the poorer without you. I listened to all of thst performance of Backstreet Girl. Wow!!! And that's only an early take ???

It's only once been played live in my presence -.on the b stage at Foxboro Stadium at the start of the licks tour. And for those there, you may remember something went badly wrong with the sound mix during the track and it ended up being a bit of a mess.

I'm not even that keen on the song, but love the live Hampton version. For me it's the Stones at their raw, rocking best. Love those loud, fast guitars

Having seen U2 once on every tour since 1987 (the Joshua Tree Tour), I find it impossible to believe that all of the music heard by the audience at the show comes from the 4 core members on Stage. I've heard backing vocals with no microphone to be seen near anyone other than Bono!

Quotepgarof It's great to see just 4 guys on stage playing Rock and Roll how they always have with no backing musicians and singers, all origional I think. U2 are well known to make heavy use of playbacks and backing tracks - up to 50% on some songs. So when you see them live, as I have done 6 times since the 80s, you're hearing half band,half karaoke.... And I'm seeing them in L

I'm concerned to note that they're down to 19 songs a night from an initial 22. Substitute, a song I love was dropped in April, and Can't Explain , for my money, a blistering show opener has not been played since the excellent Hyde Park show. For the last 3, Who are you has been moved to the opening slot. Roger is clearly having to manage his voice. Pete's moods seem to be v

I agree Tony. Fantastic day out from start to finish, with all flaws (the usual poor security and unpunished pushers-in). Imho, it's very hard to beat a day of bands in Hyde Park in the Summer Time.

The crowd were mad for it on Friday night in Hyde Park! I feel that they subject themselves to far too punishing a schedule. The Stones now do 2 shows a week and the Who and MCCartney really ought to follow suit to get the best out of themselves. In March the Who did back to back gigs at the O2 and and MCCartney followed suit at the same venue in May - silly for performers of their age if you ask

A contributory factor may be that their setlist was brought forward by 30 mins at short notice and they were given no time to do a sound check. On Friday night the sound checks were carried out by the crew of not just the Who but their 4 support acts and seemed very thorough. It will be interesting to hear what happens in Paris on Tuesday, firstly for how good a performance they deliver and se

BBC broadcast just finished. They showed about 10 songs of a rather curtailed 16 song set list. For those seeing them in Europe and America later in the year, I hope this was not a sign of problems.

Yep, I'm watching now. The naughty line in Who are You?, the show opener was left in Sad that they've dropped Can't Explain as their opener imho. Pictures of Lily is back but Substitute not played since mid April, perhaps due to the strain of that chorus on Roger's voice.
