The 50 most amazing U2 shows: part 3, the 2000s

The first two shows in the Sphere are behind us and in this episode Remy, Joeri and Joe take you through the show and share our personal experiences. We talk about the venue, the technology, the show, setlist and everything else going down in Vegas such as Zoo Station and merchandising. We also have some tips for those yet to travel to Vegas, such as where to stand or sit in the venue for the best experience.

Only a few weeks left and Remy, Joeri and today's guest Doug are dreaming up their ultimate Las Vegas setlist. What will be played? Which albums will be featured? Will Achtung Baby be played in order? We don't know anything yet and discuss the albums, the songs and Zoo TV to cook up our dream setlist and share our hopes and expectations for the real thing.

With only seven weeks to go, it's time to start the countdown to U2's residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Joe, also known as GA Joe, joins Remy and Joeri to talk about the latest news and rumors. We discuss the band, rehearsals, the latest on the venue and dream about how the setlist is taking shape.

U2's latest album is the topic of this podcast. We are joined by U2 fan Reinier to discuss the tracks we like and the ones we don't. Which part is our favorite? Which songs do we want to hear live? Did we as U2 fans underestimate Songs of Surrender? We answer all these questions in just under an hour.

It's time to talk about our favorite subject: tour rumors. We catch up with Aaron from U2Songs and tell you all the information we have about U2's upcoming residency in Vegas, the Joshua Tree film, Songs of Surrender and future other U2 plans. We talk about Aaron's book which is coming out soon and answer questions from listeners.

This podcast is all about Surrender, Bono's memoir. Or as he likes to call it, a WEmoir. Joeri and Remy are joined by Jamey, a non-U2 fan who has been asked by us to read the book and share his thoughts. We go through all 3 parts of the book and talk about every aspect of it, including the audiobook.

Joeri and Remy attended some of the Stories of Surrender shows and are sharing their experiences and thoughts on the show, its narrative and legacy. We also talk about some of the recent developments in the U2 camp, including the possibility of U2 touring without Larry in 2023 and other tour and album rumors.

We're finally back and in this episode we're celebrating POP's 25th anniversary. If U2 won't do it, we will. Karen from Connecticut is joining us. Karen is a longtime U2 fan and shares some great stories, including the story of the day she saw U2 perform and hold a press conference at K-Mart in 1997. We also look back on 2021 and ahead to the upcoming years; sharing the latest on U2's upcoming albums, Bono's book, the Netflix series and much more.

In this first podcast of 2021 we go back and forth in time talking about the famous Mr. MacPhisto. The legendary character who travelled around the globe in 1993, only to return in a somewhat different form in 2018 and 2019. We explore the origins of the character, share and listen to his most famous phone calls and we talk with U2 fan Marco, who has been dressing up as MacPhisto and even made his way on stage impersonating this devilish figure.

In the last part of our series on the 50 most amazing U2 shows Remy, Joeri and Coen select the highlights from the huge number of shows that U2 has played during the 2010s. With five tours we had a lot to choose from so get ready for this final marathon discussing the best shows that U2 has to offer.
