A Grand Madness, U2 Twenty Years After is a sequel to the best-selling memoir A Grand Madness, Ten Years on the Road with U2 first published in 2000. Both books are a fan's eye view of the extraordinary Irish rock band, U2, a story about the impact music known inside out has on a life and about all the adventures along the way. .A story for anyone who has ever surrendered themselves however briefly to the euphoria of fandom. The first book covered three U2 tours-The Joshua Tree, Zoo Tour, and the Popmart Tour. The second book covers six tours-the Elevation Tour, Vertigo Tour, 360 Tour, Innocence Tour, The Joshua Tree 2017 Tour, and the Experience Tour, from 2001 to 2018. Both books were taken from the author's personal journals.
Spanning the distance from the band's home in Dublin, Ireland to America's Deep South, Beeaff's sharply detailed and lyrical second memoir sources from her personal journals, and covers the Elevation, Vertigo, 360, Innocence, Joshua Tree, and Experience Tours. Her narrative voice, like her drive to document her journey, weaves together details-both of the band and the current events that shaped her perspective on the road.
Like Bono's lyrics, multi-colored and yet full of shade and shadow, Beeaff's memoir envelops readers in the euphoria of fandom with the personal impact that U2's music has had on her life. ATYCLB flows as naturally as sunlight, making it easy to slip inside each song, she writes of the band's tenth studio album, All That You Can't Leave Behind. This is classic 'big rock' U2 cut back to basics. They still haven't found what they're looking for, but they're getting closer.
Brimming with insights into one of the most adored rock bands of our time, A Grand Madness: U2 Twenty Years After is rife with adventure, offering readers a rousing depiction of one fan's experiences on the road. It is sure to capture the hearts of diehard U2 enthusiasts, as well as those with a penchant for the intrigue and adventure of a travel narrative..
