u2 not just legendary but iconic 🇮🇪💚
U2 absolutely knew how to create music for stadiums.
They tended to play sympathetic chords that didn’t sound ‘wrong’ when bouncing back and forth across the large spaces of stadiums, where the long delay effects of The Edge’s guitar-work didn’t clash with the basslines that Adam was thumping out.
I’m no worshipper of U2, but they were kings of the rock concert show for decades.
I never saw them live, but I did go to see their 3D concert in IMAX just after they released Vertigo and it was absolutely the best way to see ANY concert. The camera was onstage with them and with the 3D you truly felt like you were there onstage with the four of them looking out onto the see of faces. Superb stuff.
I also never saw them live but in their prime they would have been ace
I always take my phone into the loo so I can watch you two,it helps my bowel movement....😂😂...Kiwi roadie Greg Carroll died whilst delivering Bono's motorbike to him..the band came to NZ for his funeral which was in the city I live in,they drank with a few of the locals...
My daughter was there. She was telling her friends who BBKing was , because he was her dad's idol? They were very impressed. They came over home the next day to go through his records. Ahhh memories. We saw him 4 times.
Sooooo cool. Cheers Alex
Still have not found was from U2's Joshua Tree tour of 1987 in Paris.
When Love Comes to Town was from U2's Lovetown tour of 1989 ( probably from Sydney).
The best notes for a curated week teaser yet! That was fucking hilarious.
I’ve previously contemplated doing a Sting week because the guy does have some talent but as much as I admire his work and skills, I feel he can come across as a bit of a knob. Had it dawned on me that I could both celebrate his music AND do a hatchet job on his persona I’d have given it more serious consideration.
😂🤣😂
"anti notes"
Also Sean - I agree....it made me realize that we don't need to pander to all BS, - You're right you can call them out and build them up. It rings true - Cheers A
Bono wrote the lyrics specifically for B.B. King. When they first met and Bono presented the lyrics to him, B.B. couldn't believe that someone so young (Bono was just 27 at the time) could write lyrics like that.
Agreed. I’ve heard Bono speak about that topic of writing lyrics that seem to be rather precocious considering where he was in life at the time of writing them. They were very heavy lyrics. He credits two things for that…
His mother passing away suddenly at her own father’s funeral when Bono was only 13. And subsequently immersing himself in Scripture to cope with it bc after his mother passed away, his father never spoke of her again.
So when you think of that perfect storm of variables, his precocious and deeply meaningful lyrics make so much more sense.
Lol, I definitely do not have anything better to do than to watch The Thamesmen! Looking forward to a fabulous 2024 with you all!
Happy new year!! Cheers Alex
I saw U2 with BB King in Perth in 1989. Brilliant show.
That would have been ace - Cheers Alex
Thereks a reason they were the biggest band in the world in their time.
Agreed!! Cheers Alex
I saw BB King in a smaller setting in Wellington, NZ and he was a great entertainer. I guess back when he started, if you were a solo entertainer, you had to have an act to be popular. It's no surprise that BB King is a natural entertainer. Then I saw, also in Wellington, the "Love Comes to Town", U2 concert. Loved it.
Very cool. Cheers Alex
I saw U2 at The Sphere a few months ago. There are a slew of video uploads from various nights. They play the entire Achtung Baby album, with other well known tracks and some obscure songs.
Sound was amazing, with clear crisp notes with any seat in the venue a great location. The visuals were epic, outrageous, surreal, overwhelming...I've watched some of these clips, even my own, and not one of these can convey just how epic the experience is.
From the Lovetown show, God Part II and Love Rescue Me are outstanding.
An awesome song by U2. Have a Great 2024. 🖖❤
And you two! Cheers Alex
Congrats on a successful 2023, I really enjoyed the whole year. Looking forward to another year of The Thamesmen. I've been a U2 fans since the Boy album way back when. Great Live band.
Happy new year!
@@TheThamesmen Happy New Year to you guys also. By the way, you liked your own post 😅
Hi gents! Happy New Year! I’m Going to see them on Feb 7th at The Sphere. Not a big fan, but I have friends going and I REALLY want to see the inside of that place! Really wouldn’t care what band was playing, but U2 should be ok. 😁😉
I’ve never been a huge U2 fan. But this track is one of their best. And then there’s. Now here I am a Huge fan. I could listen to him all day day. For me he is a sublime guitar player.
well said. Cheers Alex
I absolutely LOVE how you thank, acknowledge & cherish your fans !
These are my favourite U2 songs:
1 With or Without You
2 New Years Day
3 One
4 Staring at the Sun
5 Still Haven't Found
6 Sunday Bloody Sunday
7 11 O'Clock Tick Tock
8 I Will Follow
9 Gloria
10 Electric Co
Many thanks.
@@TheThamesmen Silly rabbit you just proved my point - lol
A new year and I'm STILL watching The Thamesmen. Only thing left is for me to stream the Taylor Swift concert. The depths...oh, the depths. Good thing Tuomas isn't scanning these comments.
Forgot to mention...I do like U2. Not always in tune to Bono's injection of politics. But a lot of their music is A+.
I couldn't find my glasses today, I nearly lost it!😐 (On the subject and result of your Poll which I don't necessarily agree with)George certainly makes up for his stupidity(don't agree)by his likeability and cuddlyness. Very funny U guys! BB King, what a great blues voice.
Happy New Year guys. Great to se you two again...😉 Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
My cousin in Florida did a photo-shoot with BB in the late 90’s. They got talking and she told him about me. Now I have a dedicated photo of BB and ”Lucille”. One of my absolute treassures! 🎸🎶
Oh wow!
Happy New Year, gentlemen! Looking forward to a great year of reactions from The (dashing) Thamesmen.
Same to you! Cheers Alex
Chek out Running to stand still/ Streets from the Sydney concert. It’s mindblowing🤯❤️.
Happy New Year. Enjoyed the honesty of the notes.😂. When did Bono start wearing sunglasses on stage?
He started to wear them on the Zoo TV Tour. 92-93.
This and Sunday Bloody Sunday always remind me of early MtV. Chase or Renaissance anyone?
I loved Sunday B S when that came out. Cheers Alex
Happy first recording of the new year!
Of course you have subscribers. You are very entertaining. And that Kasey Chambers track is amazing and a half.
Notes were very fitting for the general feel of the channel actually. I've never hated U2, but I do get that they can come off as a bit pretentious more often than might be good for them.
I did enjoy Bono throwing in some Bob Marley on the first track. And Wilson Pickett in the second!! Great songs both, but the B.B. King song had to be the better one for me.
Be well Mike - Cheers Alex
Brilliant Paris concert, musically, especially vocally (Bono's vocal play and song snipset were unique), saw U2 in Basel back then. In the 2000s, Bono's vocal embellishments were partly artificial, but now they're better again, see The Sphere/Las Vegas.
BB King is simply an admirable person, yes and Midnight Hour!!!
I think it's great that U2 are now playing these songs in the acoustic part, as well as Angel Of Harem (tribute to Billie Holiday) and Love Rescue Me (with Bob Dylan on R'n'H). Will U2 keep this up in the last 15 concerts at The Sphere, start end of January.
I love Hawkmoon 269 and God (tribute to Lennon's song), 2 fantastic R'n'H songs.
You would like the song package Bullet The Blue Sky+Running To Stand Still or One Three Hills (rowdy tribute/New Zealand; motocyle accident) from this Paris concert.
Addition: you both are awesome too; THANK YOU again for Because The Night with PS+BS+U2. By the way, the Paris 2015 concert with Patti Smith+U2 is also unique: Bad+PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER!!!
Looking forward to 2024 with you guys. Great tracks.
Us too! Cheers Alex
Hi Guys seen this one yet ??? " The White Album - Live in Liverpool (documentary) " with Eng. subs ! The .......yep. The Analogues !! Its one hour (sort) Do something with it ! It's you're heritage ! (The Beatles I) 😇👍
If Bono ever finds what he's looking for he'll probably say, "whale oil beef hooked derry tis"
I think he will say that dis is for der poor people, whist his venture capital fund(Elevation) invests in yet more high end tech companies.
@@TheThamesmen Lucky he can sing or he just be an arsehole!
BB King just separated himself from the others
Hope you include Rory Gallagher Bull frog blues the old whistle stop
He. won't get the number Rick. Its like doing TYA
@@TheThamesmen it is a shame that people who are so set in their ways they are afraid/relucttent to try anything out of their comfort zone
All I can say it’s sad. Hell I worked my way through 7 Aussie week most I never new about but gave each one them a fair shake.
Have more to say but it won’t make a difference based on how the numbers
Can’t believe I’ll stop there I’ll keep watching the boys and laugh at there joke and start keeping count on numbers compare to performance
Very true but for me they were good in the early years up to a blues album I believe and they turned a corner and I no longer could listene to them.
Great album. They lost me after this tour.
Best lame joke that I’ve heard this year! U2. 😂😂😂
Top draw material.
Wish *Sale of the Century* was on instead of the Thamesgals. They can keep U2. Like them better before they went mainstream commercial. I couldn't stand The Joshua Tree when it was first released. Don't like it today. Don't need to here any songs from U2 ever again.
But BB King I like very much. Especially when Lucille has the blues.
Lucille..... save his life. Cheers Alex
@@TheThamesmen - Didn't Lucille left BB King with 4 hungry kids & the crops in the field?? Or was that Kenny Rogers, The Gambler?? I don't remember anymore. You know. Going senile I am.
Lucille was a name of a woman that he was chatting up, apparently there was a fight and a barrel that was full of wood and on fire tipped... He ran into the fire then got his guitar and name it after her. Later , whilst driving between gigs the car flipped and the guitar and the case stopped the roof crushing him... Lucille saved his life.@@kevinthetruckdriver353
They lost me after the Joshua tree
The introductory notes are uniquely Irish in their approach to marketing and bode well for the curated week to come. As for the Thamesmen Channel it is well worth every minute spent watching and if you ever become PC, organised and slick or stop delivering these great curated weeks then I shall have to seriously consider un subbing and getting a life. HNY and I look forward with great anticipation to more slightly disorganised and unconsciously edgy output in 2024.
HA HA ~!!! Cheers Alex
Your is not very smart....thats forsure
