U2 will begin its two-residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere with at least one new song to perform: “Atomic City,” a Vegas-themed tune that is expected to be released on or before the ban…
The arrival of the truck pulling the trailer downtown was not a spontaneous occurrence. Katsilometes reported that 250 extras had been solicited via email and paid $150 each for the shoot, which found the band running through “Atomic City” four times. Fans at the site who reported in to U2songs.com said that the backing tracks during the shoot appeared to be pre-recorded but Bono was singing live.
Bono described the new song as “a rock ‘n’ roll 45 in the tradition of ’70s post-punk, Blondie, the Clash, some ’70s punk … We’ll take it from everywhere.”“I’m free / I came here for the fight /. I’m front row in Las Vegas / And there’s a big one on tonight,” go the climactic lyrics. The group also delighted the extras during a camera change by playing — not to a backing track — a new arrangement of “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” the original video for which was also shot in the same area of Las Vegas’ downtown in the late 1980s, before the current open-air roof was installed over the famous boulevard. Bono told the crowd they were rearranging the 1987 rock classic, saying, “Let’s try it as a country song.
According to U2songs.com, Mullen had been recording with the rest of the band in the south of France as well as at two studios in Los Angeles, with producer Steve Lillywhite, in sessions that wrapped up earlier last week. The site noted, however, that Bono seemed to be improvising or scatting in spots, indicating that the lyrics might still be subject to change.
The fan site noted that this marked the first time the band had performed in public since wrapping up the “Joshua Tree” at the end of 2019.
