Hi, Scott. Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment. And I think you're right about the sequence--it's one of the most powerful U2 have ever done. Thanks again.-Tim
Bullet the blue -- but this time it's not "sky"
U2’s recent European leg kicked off this last week with two shows in Turin. Many of us had wondered, would Bono keep a variety of American themes alive from the first leg? “I got my hands up. I surrender. Don’t shoot. I can’t breathe.” (References to racial violence in Ferguson, Baltimore, Ch...

From your American friends: we were happy too to find out that Ireland got first crack at the tickets! Completely fair, appropriate and understandable. Can't wait to hear what you think about the show. I promise not to text you ;-)
U2 IN BELFAST - TICKET SALES DRAMA; Grouch and Gratitude
I never realised when I wrote Walk On; The Spiritual Journey of U2 that every time an announcement was made about this band my pocket would go off as texts, emails, Tweets and Facebook messages would crash into my phone from all over the world. There are advantages to this. Nothing happens t...
I'm with you, U2Trish. But, fortunately, I know the band appreciates fans at all levels of understanding! -Tim

U2Roeli, I've now heard that from a few Europeans, and I've been persuaded. Thanks for adding this viewpoint here. As is always the case with U2, there's always more to be said. I'm grateful for readers like you who say it! -Tim
PS. I've always thought it interesting the love that Bono has for this melody from the 9th/Ode/Alle Menschen. Especially when he used it for the intro to "Get On Your Boots"!

Geoff, an excellent connection to Psalm 73 and Matthew 25. I think you're right on! Thank you so much. -Tim

Thank you, Swisscritter. I appreciate the kind words! -Tim
About That Title: Innocence + Experience
About that title. Innocence + Experience. Or, as U2.com likes it, “iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE.” Which also has the abbreviation “i+e”. So many little nuances built into that simple, yet complex, title. I think of the top-level domain extension on the internet for Ireland: “.ie” is the country code o...
Thanks, David! It's amazing how we can see our own lives represented in this tour. Makes it so personal and engaging! -Tim
My Addiction: the reason for this blog
This U2 tour has been a kind of crack. I never anticipated attending so many of the concerts. I didn't set out to be a groupie or a "fangirl." I've never met the band, I've only attended a few tours (my first was on top of the LA Coliseum in 1987) and I don't have an extensive set of memorabil...

Can/Can't Change The World: make up your mind?
It's always nice to have one's thoughts confirmed by the B man (my tweet/graphic from July)... iNNOCENCE AND eXPERIENCE. (And apparently Bono kept Adam's glasses). "Change the World." #U2ieTour pic.twitter.com/WpF9jbK9gx — Tim Neufeld (@timneufeld) July 3, 2015 _______________________________________ And then this excerpt from the band's SiriusXM interview, to be aired...
