Friends ,

Just for fun , choose your least fav track from each old album that you don`t want to hear on the next tour.
Offcourse they have to been played live.
Otherwise everyone would vote Acrobat...no one wants to hear that one live:wink:

Boy - I Will Follow ( a great song but I would like to see a tour without it )
October - Fire
War - SBS ( played to death on the last two tours )
TUF - Pride:madspit:
TJT - ISHFWILF ( followed closely by WOWY and Bullet )
R&H ( studio only ) - Love Rescue Me ( seen it live in Rotterdam 01-10-90 , best show ever , weakest song of the set )
AB - One ( sooo freaking tired of it )
Zooropa - Numb ( it was great for Zoo-tv )
Pop - Staring At The Sun ( they would do it acoustic anyway...again )
ATYCLB - Elevation ( needs a rest )
HTDAAB - SYCMIOYO ( it`s been played every night on the last tour and has becoming a bit boring )

Cheers ,

Mauwer
 
they should only play (beautiful day or stuck) from atyclb and
"original of the species" from bomb.
also drop "wowy" bono can not sing that song God.
i know thats not the question you asked but it saves me some typing hehe
 
Boy - I Will Follow
October - Anything but Gloria or October
War - New Year's Day
UF - Pride
Joshua Tree - none
Rattle and Hum - When Love Comes to Town
Achtung Baby - Until the End of the World
Zooropa - Numb (awful live)
Pop - Staring at the Sun
ATYCLB - Beautiful Day
HTDAAB - Vertigo
 
Boy: The Ocean.
October: None, really. I'd love to hear ANYTHING off October, given how scarcely U2 touch it.
War: Sunday Bloody Sunday.
UF: Pride.
JT: ISHFWILF/WOWY tie.
RAH: Love Rescue Me.
Achtung: One.
Zooropa: Stay. I actually love this song, but I'd like the rest of the album to be acknowledged more. Plus, the acoustic version is dreadful.
Pop: SATS. Nobody needs to hear it acoustic.
ATYCLB: Stuck.
HTDAAB: SYCMIOYO.

Given those last four albums, maybe U2 should just avoid anything beginning with S. :wink:
 
Boy: The Ocean
October: Is That All?
War: NYD
TUF: ISS
TJT: none
R&H: none
AB: none
Zooropa: Stay, if it's acoustic
Pop: SATS, if it's acoustic
ATYCLB: NY
HTDAAB: ABOY
 
It's something I don't say very often, but I agree with everyone so far, in the sense that I also think U2 should refresh their setlist, I know we're talking about huge, enormous songs, and may be they can sing one or two in every show, just for the occasional fan, but not the whole set of "oldies" together in everyone, they have such an extense repertoire of great songs, they can do it easily, I think.

Oh, and I hope they sing Spanish Eyes again in Madrid.
 
Boy: I Will Follow (already had a fair go)
October: Tomorrow (wouldn't be great live)
War: Red Light (shite song)
UF: MLK (nothing remarkable)
JT: Bullet The Blue (had a fair go already)
RAH: God Part 2 (Shite song)
Achtung: Until The End Of The World (Had a fair go)
Zooropa: Numb (boring live)
Pop: Staring At The Sun (nothing remarkable live and better songs on the album)
ATYCLB: Elevation (needs a rest)
HTDAAB: Miracle Drug (doesn't live up to the studio version and is too similar to the superior and should-be-a-staple Beautiful Day)
 
Anything acoustic, all I've ever heard from acoustic U2 performances sucked.


Boy - I Will Follow I never liked it
October - none
War - Sunday bloody sunday
TUF - Pride
TJT - Bullet the blue sky
R&H - Love Rescue Me
AB - One
Zooropa - Numb
Pop - Staring At The Sun, the rest I would love
ATYCLB - In a Little while
HTDAAB - Love and Peace or Else (worst song ever serious) and Vertigo
 
Boy - I Will Follow (played to death already}
October - Gloria (studio version is great but live version stinks)
War - Sunday Bloody Sunday (Played to death)
TUF - Pride (Played to death)
Joshua - Still Have (Unless go back to ZooTv version with backing tracks this song is not good live. Add the backing synthesizers to it and then the live version is good)
Rattle - Angel of Harlem (Not good live)
AB - The Fly (Bomb tour version was crap. iF THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE THEN DON;T PLAY IT)
PoP

Joshua Tree- Streets or Bullet
Rattle and Hum- When Love Comes To Town

Pop- Wake Up Dead Man
ATYCLB- Kite
HTDAAB- SYCMIOYO
 
Boy - I Will Follow- needs a rest.
October - Fire
War - Sunday Bloody Sunday- Boring bloody Boring more like.
TUF - Pride- even with Bono's voice back to its early 90s best, it still sounds tired and clapped out.
TJT - Bullet The Blue Sky- as flat as a prairie on the Vertigo tour.
R&H- All I Want Is You- It's geting tiring.
AB - Not One though they need to look at how they did it on Zoo Tv. I'd say Zoo Station, purely because they can no longer do the song proerly. It was such a disappointment on the Vertigo tour, compared with how great it once sounded.
Zooropa - The First Time- mediocre. They should do Lemon instead.
Pop - Staring At The Sun- if you do a Pop song make sure it is the least safe one!
ATYCLB - Everything bar Kite.
HTDAAB - Where do I begin haha? Spre us LAPOE at the very least.

I don't want to much songs from HTDAAB. Wasn't to fond of that one. I would love to hear a couple of songs from POP like Please and Wake Up Dead Man. Not really excited by Walk on but Kite would be most welcome. I would love to hear the Unforgetable Fire again.
