My favorite band recently resumed their 360 Tour in Europe. It's great to see that Bono's back seems to be doing well. The cool thing about the first couple of shows is that three new songs have been played. My favorite of the three is a ballad called North Star. It sounds a little unrehearsed in this video courtesy of the fantastic U2 site U2gigs.com. Their Youtube page features videos from the first two shows of this leg. Here's North Star from the first show in Turin, Italy. Unfortunately, they didn't play this song the second show. I really hope it comes back at some point.
The second new song is called Glastonbury and it's a straight ahead rocker with some fine guitar work by The Edge. This is from last night's show in Frankfurt, Germany.
And finally there's a new rocking instrumental that opens the show called Return Of The Stingray Guitar. I really dig the new intro. Hopefully they'll still be playing it next year when I see them in Denver and hopefully Minneapolis.
Thanks again to U2gigs.com for the fantastic videos.
