Electrical Storm

[sandc]

Do you think Electrical Storm will ever be played live? It sort of gets forgotten, but would sound awesome live.

 

[innocent_eyes]

I have seen a local band cover it live and it sounds great! It would be awesome for U2 to try this one out full band!

 

[Macfistowannabe]

It needs to be played, I sure hope it will be. It's a non-album track, and the band has a history of abandoning that kind of thing, but they have to play it.

 

[Joshua_Tree_Hugger]

Yeah but don't forget that HMTMKMKM was a non-album track that made the Popmart set, so there is still hope!

 

[theoeiii]

The Sweetest Thing also made a bunch of appearances. Edge said that he was really looking forward to playing it live. They'll get to it.

Not true.

Every U2 single has been played live, so I'm expecting it to be played. The following non-album, officially released songs have all been played:

- Boy/Girl
- Another Day
- 11 O'clock Tick Tock [one of U2's most frequently played songs]
- Touch
- Things To Make And Do
- A Celebration
- Party Girl
- Silver And Gold
- Spanish Eyes
- The Sweetest Thing
- Slow Dancing
- Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
- Miss Sarajevo [if you don't count Passengers, that is]
- Holy Joe
- North And South Of The River
- The Ground Beneath Her Feet
- The Hands That Built America

(I might've missed a couple. And She's A Mystery To Me was released by Roy Orbison, not U2, but they played that too so it might warrant being on the list.)

I don't know where your statement comes from as it's wildly untrue. The majority of b-sides haven't been played (though a sizeable minority of eighties ones were), but all singles have been played, and the other two Best Of songs have been played.

 

[God Part III]

Axver is often right.
Let's hope this continues.

 

[ayearwome]

I would think it should surface in Europe and possibly on the third leg!!! I sure hope so!

I hope you're right. But - have they even rehearsed the song?

 

[Axver]

It hasn't been reported as rehearsed.

That said, we didn't know about Gloria until just five days before it debuted live, and they had to have been rehearsing it a lot beforehand.

 

[Raid]

Maybe they will add it to the setlist in Europe?

 

[Axver]

That's what I'm predicting, as it was a more successful single there.

I know this is off the topic of the thread but Axver, as you seem to know your stuff do you think it at all possible that Kite will be played in Europe? Thats my suspicion and I hope its true!!

I also love Electrical storm so fingers crossed for that one too!!

If I remember correctly, the only rumour of Kite being rehearsed came from the Mexico list which I now believe was fraudulent, or only semi-accurate at best. I am not expecting Kite, which is a real shame, but if they do play it, I won't be surprised. I get this feeling it has been superceded by SYCMIOYO, though.

 

[scarlet october]

Anyone know if "Exit" was rumoured?

Stuck and SYCMIOYO aren't related. A new version of Stuck featuring piano was rehearsed and soundchecked, and was played at the LA rehearsal, but when Yahweh was moved to the end of the set, there was no longer anywhere for Stuck to fit in the set. It was eliminated simply due to the lack of a good place. I'm picking it to appear in Chicago, though.
