Shuttlecock XIII - Super Deluxe Edition with T-Shirt

[elevated_u2_fan]

I really can't wait for this election to be over, not that I don't mind the countless lolersaurus that is Trump and his supporters but damn, seems like every thread gets hijacked by this nonesense lately

 

[corianderstem]

I blame Bono.

DAMN IT, BONO.

Agreed, probably the first election cycle that I'm really sick and tired of.

 

[LemonMelon]

Only one more month. We can get through this together.

Agreed, because it legitimately terrifies me. Remember fascism? It's back... in Trump form!

 

[DaveC]

not a fascist. no. not even close.

anyways what did they actually play? i'm curious about the set list but don't feel like mucking through the main thread to find out

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Did they play the new single "You're the Best Thing About Me"??

 

[cobl04]

the only mildly interesting parts of the setlist were Bullet and California. the rest is as you would expect.

I don't know, I'm teaching fascism right now and the parallels are striking.

And here's the set/report: U2 perform at Dreamfest, 05/10 - U2gigs.com

My Sweet Lord!!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Blackbird and My Sweet Lord snippets. So we have two of the four Mop Tops represented. Now, if we can just get him to throw in that Norwegian Wood snippet for John and a Back Off Boogaloo snippet for Ringo.

Bono is the Trump of U2.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

They both have small hands and love to hang out with models.

 

[iron yuppie]

It seems they now consider Vertigo to be their signature song.

If they weren't such pussies they could be doing what they did 25 years ago

Vertigo helped propel U2 to dizzying heights of popularity in 2004.

Grab the Edge by the beanie. You can do anything.

They're going to be touring next year, on the 30th anniversary of JT. Makes me wonder if they'll dig out any of the less-played side B stuff that hasn't been played in a long time.

In God's Country(I mean legit, full-on, full band, not the small handful of stripped down versions they've done in 2001 and 2015) - 10/09/1989
Trip Through Your Wires - 12/20/1987
Exit - 10/14/1989

They actually did play MOTD on 360, so it hasn't been that long for that one, and OTH gets played a few times on most tours.

And RTSS is the one track from side A that they haven't played in over a decade now - 7/15/2005

As for b-sides, they've played Sweetest Thing and Spanish Eyes recently, but...

Silver And Gold - 11/26/1987

Of course it will also be the 20th anniversary of Pop, but I have less hope of them honoring that in any way.

Ha!
