God Will Send His Angels

[U2phan]

SHOULDN'T THEY PLAY THIS GEM?

it's my fave off Pop...and it's appropriate considering the Pope's funeral is coming up right? It's a nice slow song, like Miracle Drug, I'd love to hear it this tour

 

[MarcusOneTree]

Not to mention they're in Los Angeles!

 

[jcoriha]

One of my favs also. To my knowledge they have never done a full band version, only Bono/Edge, like they did at Oakland Popmart that I attended.

 

[Axver]

Well, I'd love them to play it, but they won't. They only did a full band version once, on the opening night of Popmart, and it was a total disaster. They then played it Bono-and-Edge-only for much of the first leg before ultimately discarding it in favour of New Year's Day.

 

[Macfistowannabe]

Unfortunately, they never let this one shine the way it was intended. It would surprise the heck out of any hardcore fan of U2, as well as piss off the Joshua Tree/anti-Pop people.

Hey, I'm a Joshua Tree person and I think IGWSHA is a great song!

 

[God Part III]

I think the song is crap.

Gotta be honest with you folks.

I don't understand the "Pop has no memorable tunes" argument at all, especially when you choose this song as the best of the record. Do not play it U2.

*shudders when thinking of it*

...."I'll do better next time...."

 

[the tourist]

It's my least favourite song off the Pop record.

 

[OnoBsiDog]

Great song - should be played sometime - if not in snippet...

 

[MumblingBono]

"Gone" is the only POP song that has even a prayer of ever seeing the light of day on this tour. I agree with God Part III.

LOL ^^^ I was at the famous Vegas show and it wasn't that bad. Of all the songs played off of Pop that night "Do You Feel Loved" and "If God Will Send His Angels" were the best played.

 

[MusicalJourneyman]

That Vegas show was pretty crappy. I've never seen a band stop a song in the middle of it and start all over again. It was easily the worst U2 show I've seen. I'll never forget it but not for good reasons. Trying to get back to the strip also sucked.

Were you one of the many who were stuck until around midnight waiting for buses? That sucked real bad. I remember being so hungry and all they had for sell were these nasty sausage sandwiched. Not the greatest U2 show, but one the most memoriable.

 

[MusicalJourneyman]

We started walking back to the strip and after unsuccesfully trying to hail down taxis heading torwads Sam Boyd Stadium, we jumped in front of one and commandered it. At that point, we (my girlfriend then, wife now) weren't taking no for an answer.

You're a rarity that actually has an IQ if that's the case.

 

[ayearwome]

Ahhhh, unfortunately it sounded terrible the first time it was performed full-band. I think it left a bad taste in their mouth.

 

[jrjunior31]

beautiful song, put it in the same file as hawkmoon meanwhile, we'll never hear either one....

 

[isabelle_guns]

Personally I think for fun they should do discoteque but that would be awesome if they played angels.

 

[Flying FuManchu]

Angels would be good. I don't see why not. I'm sure they can get the sound down with that cool backing syth playing in the background. It always seemed like the full band version of Angels was missing something live and it souded to barren/ plain.
