U2101 Special Edition – Opening Night of the e+i Tour
I think that every U2 fan in the world, unless they’ve been living under a rock, was aware that tonight was the opening show of the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour. I was lucky enough to catch a few streams of the show, (a HUGE thanks to all those who broadcast the show from Tulsa) and […]

U2101 – Seconds
Thirty-five years ago this year, U2 released War, the record that turned them into stars, at least in the UK. Since we’ve finished up our series on Rattle & Hum, I thought that it would be appropriate to go over a few highlights from War, before moving on to Zooropa, which also celebrates an important anniversary […]

U2101 – Helter Skelter
U2 used to perform a lot more covers on-stage than they do now. Songs like “C’Mon Everybody,” “All Along the Watchtower,” and “People Get Ready” were important parts of U2’s set-lists during the late eighties. One other song to add to that list is U2’s cover of a classic Beatles song, “Helter Skelter.” I consider […]

U2101 – All Along the Watchtower
Since in my last article I wrote about a song that was co-written by the legendary Bob Dylan, I thought that it was appropriate to discuss another Bob Dylan contribution this week. I’m talking about a song that was written by the master wordsmith, (although his version is not the most widely known), “All Along […]

U2101 – Love Rescue Me
This week, we’re talking about one of the most underrated songs in U2’s entire catalog. You know the type that I’m talking about–one of those songs that wasn’t released as a single and never received the attention that it deserves. There have been plenty of songs like that in U2’s career–songs like “Like a Song,” […]

U2101 – Van Diemen’s Land
This week, we are continuing our series highlighting some of the songs from Rattle and Hum, since that album is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year. Today’ topic is a little bit of an odd duck–it is a song that represents the first instance of Edge taking lead vocal on an entire song, with no […]

U2101 – God Part 2
2017 was, as I’m sure you know the anniversaries of a couple of U2 albums–The Joshua Tree, celebrating thirty years, and Pop, which was released twenty years ago last year. We spent a good deal of time commemorating both releases, both here in these articles of mine and elsewhere (including a little tour that you […]
