After Depeche Mode, U2 is launching a new album, an acoustic and intimate version, with a residency and concerts planned in Las Vegas. Before the sequel, it was via social networks that the legendary group launched this comeback.
It was a stripped-down guitar-vocal duo version of one of their triumphs that brought them to the world in 1983. 40 years ago, Bloody Sunday, a reference to the Northern Irish Civil War, sounded much more rock. 40 years have passed since U2’s musical revelation, time for the group to revisit some of their cult songs. U2 in intimate version, a color wanted by Bono in his recent memoirs, a book of memories through some of his 40 songs.
Irish roaming
Never very willing to promote, the group still made a few rare appearances. Always ready to defend causes for more than 30 years, U2 went to sing for the Ukrainian refugees in the kyiv metro. And since Larry, the drummer, is convalescent and Adam the bassist is on a set, it’s still Bono & The Edge that we find roaming around Ireland in this documentary filmed in their native Dublin. In a few months, U2 will finally be back on stage, in a brand new venue in Las Vegas.
