I saw them last night in Tampa, they're touring the 30th anniversary of the Joshua Tree album.

Was a very good show. To no surprise Bono got a little bit political.  But the guy still can sing and the band was tight.

IMO the shows on this tour are too damn short for the amount of $$ they're charging. I mean 2 hours if you're fucking lucky is kinda ridiculous. They have a large enough catalog to do 3 hours while still playing Joshua Tree in its entirety.

Were shows on previous tours much longer, or is this something new?

Show clocked in at around 2 hrs. Definitely on the shorter side of big shows, but not everyone can put on a 3 hr show like GNR. One thing I was disappointed with was the way they utilized the big screen. Was more for graphics than actually letting us see the band from the cheaper seats.

 I spent the afternoon at Cigar City brewery, so by the time I got to the show I was doing allllrrriiighhhttt.

A good 20-25 minutes longer on the I+E tour.

Anybody else digging the new album?

I am.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I havent heard it yet. Forgot they had new music out, no one seems to be talking about the new album.

 Guess that is the state of the music induustry now. New bands get the new stuff played on the radio and trend on social media. Older bands tour. And tour. .....

Their last album got a lot of (bad) hype. This one has been real quiet to the general public.

I like this new album more than the previous Songs of Innocence.
