MERGED-->Official 3/28 San Diego Setlist Discussion

[Zoomerang96]

Is anyone else completely dumbfounded that they have just played 4 songs (including SFB snippet) in a row from BOY? That is absolutly unprecedented! The boys have BALLS again!!!

while they aren't songs i want to hear the most, i believe u2 wants to play them.

which is more important to me anyway. i want u2 to play songs they want to play, not what they think their fans want to hear.

good stuff.

 

[Stingray]

DAmn!! I wish I was there !!!! And I have to wait until October!! ARGHHHH !!!!!

at least you have tickets

 

[Axver]

This is such a fucking SENSATIONAL setlist. I agree with whoever said they have balls again! THE CRY! WOOHOO!

Oh, this is so stunning. Wonder how many more changes are in store for us ...

 

[unosdostres14]

This is really exciting....it's fun to think that they are actually playing LIVE!!!!

Oh yeah....and people need to stop refreshing on this site.....the server is getting demolished.....

 

[BWU2Buffs]

This is like a virtual campfire --- 100's of us out here all over the world watching text flash across a screen describing an event we'd love to be at... unthinkable when this journey started, yet here we are tonight.
Bizarre.

The server won't make it to the end of the gig at this rate.

And bring on the next song! *bets it is Miracle Drug* *will probably find out when this EVENTUALLY posts*

 

[MarcusOneTree]

I'm doing a playlist as well.

Woohoo, U2!

 

[namkcuR]

NYD!!!!!!

 

[unosdostres14]

NEW YEAR'S DAY!!!

 

[Axver]

Wow, ANOTHER old song!

 

[slip slide away]

i love it...can't think of a better choice really. The explosion pre/during the chorus and the slow build is an awesome way to start the show.

 

[God Part III]

New Year's Day!!! I was afraid it wasn't on. What I'm most delighted to hear yet though is the Cry opening!

 

[MikeSt]

im doing a playlist too!! haha.

but NY"s Day??? ugggggggh

 

[tlt29]

It's a song U2 played at the start of The Electric Co. from 21 November 1980 to 7 July 1985. It's the "somebody cry" part that you hear on Under A Blood Red Sky.

Maybe I've missed this, but every time i hear "The Cry" described nobody mentions the fact that the riff is from the beginning of "Is That All?".

Why is that?

Bono talks over the beginning of MIRACLE DRUG. He mentions the ticketing problems and fans waiting in line.

 

[chanfle98]

Either something happened or they are playing the longest version of New Years Day ever...

 

[namkcuR]

Miracle Drug!

 

[madonna's child]

I'm so NYD made it! My second favorite U2 song ever!

 

[tomdalton]

Dirty Day Next!

 

[unosdostres14]

Bono speech #1.

Ya gotta love him!!!!

 

[kakvox]

Bono talks/Miracle Drug

 

[Axver]

Maybe I've missed this, but every time i hear "The Cry" described nobody mentions the fact that the riff is from the beginning of "Is That All?".

Why is that?

Because Is That All? is ripped from The Cry. The Cry came first, on 21 November 1980. Is That All? didn't come around until the October sessions in mid-1981.

Bono talks over the beginning of MIRACLE DRUG. He mentions the ticketing problems and fans waiting in line. He says they weren't sure if they'd make it to San Diego. "It's a miracle...."

 

[the tourist]

Oh boy. I cannot wait to hear it on bootleg. And see it in April.

 

[God Part III]

Either something happened or they are playing the longest version of New Years Day ever...

Something has happened, but I wouldn't mind the latter.

 

[unosdostres14]

Dirty Day Next!

How do you know???
