you call The Boss shit??? Maybe you should go to a doctor...

Boss' set will be shit if the only song he plays is Working On A Dream. Otherwise, I can't imagine any way that he will be anything less than awesome next week.
 
Beautiful Day would be the obvious one, no? (Didn't Barack have it playing at lots of his rallies, speeches etc? ) . . . to be honest, I don't care what they sing I'm just hankering for another live performance :cute:


EDIT : didn't realise this thread had progressed so far . . . apols for any confusion . . . :scurriesbackunderherrock: :D
 
U2,

City of Blinding Lights
Beautiful Day
Pride
One


BRUUUCE, (are we sure the E Street Band will not be there?)

Long Time Coming
The Rising
No Surrender
Working On A Dream

Am I the only poor human who likes Human Touch? (the album and the song) :wink:

Cause I really do and apparently no one else does.



Anyway, still hoping to see The Boss and Bono in the stage at the same time.

my predictions.


from what i understood.. the performers are only going to be performing one song each. It's only a 2 hr time frame. 2:30pm to 4:30pm.
 
i hope they play "Mercy" :hyper:

seriously, you kill me. :lmao:

YES!!! I get there Saturday!!!:hyper::hyper:
I have been planning this trip for a while now, so ya, hearing U2 will be there is beyond incredible for me!! It's a dream come true to say the least!!
To see this band perform PRIDE where Martin Luther King Jr gave his I Have a Dream speech and where the first African American president will give a speech that I will get to hear is just beyond amazing.:hyper::hyper:

Oh how I would love to experience this in DC.
Have a good time all you that are going. :up:
 
I'd like to see COBL, One, and Pride, personally, but I doubt we'd get three songs... then again, U2 are the only band there (other than Brooce, I guess) who would probably be granted that.

Ya, and I could see them doing a big group thing singing PRIDE with other performers or ONE plus the choir. How cool would that be?
 
i think "Pride" and "One" are an absolute lock.

maybe COBL, since it's supposed to be one of Obama's favorite songs and it was played a whole lot during the campaign.

i hope they don't play "Boots" -- would seem opportunistic.

What song is boots?

Sorry mate, I've read your other thread. Boots is U2's first single from the new album.
 
For those of you going, how early do you plan on arriving? I live about 25 minutes from the Mall, but I don't want to get in late and end up all the way at the other end of the reflecting pool. I can't believe this is happening!:hyper:

unless you want to camp overnite which you wouldn't want to in those temps would you be able to get close.. They are expecting 500,000 plus people there that day.

see the thread in interference gatherings forum.

Anybody have any idea if this will be shown in Canada and what channel it will be on?

Any info would be appriciated :)
 
City of Blinding Lights would make sense, as that song was played throughout Obama's campaign. I think they should play something a bit more upbeat and exciting, rather than a poignant song like One
