Songs of Experience 37 - now with bonus orchestra

[Rachel D.]

I am outraged at your lack of outrage about the lack of outrage regarding the comment he made about....wait what were we talking about now?

Conform in the name of Social Justice! The hive mind has declared that we must be outraged!

 

[Iggy Fizz]

That’s why I’m glad I’ll be there on opening night.

Opening night they may play it safe, it's show #2 where I would bet they get more adventurous...

[Iggy Fizz]

well ya never know. regardless it is very cool to be at opening night, just to see how they change it up from I+E. Until then all we can do is speculate...

I loved being at the opener for I+E in Vancouver, it was unlike any other show experience...

 

[BEAL]

Is Bono ok?

Always wanted to do opening night just for that surprise value. Soon as the gigs happen I'm on the net watching videos ,checking set lists, reading reviews and following these forums.

Suppose it does spoil the live gig experience a tad but following the tours is what being a u2 fan is all about. It's part of the fun so I wouldn't stop following them just to make my night better

 

[shika]

Yeh, no way am I gonna be able to wait until November (Dublin) without seeing what the show’s about. I’d love to be at opening night but I guess going to closing one is just as great.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I'm giving the old "not look at setlists" thing a shot - I think it'll last about a day.

Probably less than a day.

 

[shika]

Correct.

I hope so, since I am passing up the opener in Tulsa this time and going to show 2 in St. Louis.

Since my first show will be show 2 I am going to try to stay in the dark as well, I mean it will be only two days...

Blurb in Rolling Stone about the tour mentions longer sets and rarities.

Also, something about "augmented reality," but who the fuck cares when we have longer shows and rarities on the table.

Longer sets and rarities. I probably won’t last until the Newark NJ show trying to avoid seeing set lists and videos.

Link?

 

[DeVaul]

Reality is already augmented if you're expecting longer sets.

So will Amp get to catch Pikachu during Elevation?

rarities that the band is excited to be playing live for the first time."

This better not be BS.

Depends on how fast he can move in mom jeans.

Chicago is only 3 weeks after the opening night. I think I can make it that long. The idea of having no idea what to expect when I go is quite appealing. However, I also like the whole process of following along with rehearsals and reading the setlist reports after each show. But it's only 3 weeks... I'm gonna try my hardest to avoid any spoilers, just to see what that's like!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

We wanted to play some songs we haven't played in a little while...

This is In A Little While.

"This is a rare song for all the die hards....this is Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of"

For opening night we wanted to play a few songs we've never done before that we know fans have been asking for.

This is a American Soul.

 

[DeVaul]

Opening night: "Ehm, so we're gonna try something we haven't played here before..."



ELEVATION RIFF

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

I’m hoping for October and War on this tour if they are really going to do some rarities. Rejoice, With A Shout, Is That All?, Like A Song, Surrender, Drowning Man. So many forgotten gems that would kill live full band if they executed right.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Is that all? No, here's Vertigo.

Throw in Acrobat and I (unlike Larry) am fully on board.

Yet we'll get Grace, Peace on Earth, Wild Honey, Yahweh and Stand Up Comedy instead.

 

[prbiker15]

I hate when these "pre-tour tidbits" come out. Now I'm on Ticketmaster...

 

[Hewson]

Is that all? No, here's Vertigo.

Like a Song? Like maybe a Song for Someone.
