A couple of mates are heading out to a work conference in Las Vegas and have booked tickets for U2 at the sphere. $3,500 for four tickets 
Is this standard prices or a weird thing like it being part of a package?
No idea actually. I was too floored by the number to follow up…

Ha ha.
Yeah that’s insane.
Had an online chat yesterday with someone who went and was saying how great it was. Didn’t occur to me to ask how much it was; not sure how you can judge if something was $800 great
Most expensive gig ticket I’ve ever bought was £200 for Tom Waits from a tout. That show was definitely £200 great tbh tbf…

Absolutly stonking song and one of their most underrated.
1st half of Unfortgettable Fire is untouchable. 2nd half is more patchy but has Bad.

I like it all. Fully on board with the Eno atmospherics of the second half

I like it too, just not as strong as the first half, which combines atmsophere and bangers.

The Unforgettable Fire is a massively underrated album. So so good.

Agreed. Perfect mid-point between their early New Wave and later 80s atmospheric stuff.

Just listened to it on account of the discussion, it’s perfect start to finish. I love how it flows and how it ultimately builds to Elvis Presley and America.

Some hilarious quotes in this, intentional and unintentional. What happened to Bono since 1997?
Good album ^that. And the Passengers one they mention in the article. Hard to believe these days that U2 were actually an interesting band for most of the 90s…
