Night and Day?

[Zooropean103]

What do you think about playing Night and Day? The performance from MusiCares 2003 was so great, I wish I'd have a video of it. Bono sang it in a great way and Edges solo in the end was fabulous. It could appear on some shows after the first encore song like Bullet or L&PoE. Any thoughts?

I would guess that the chances are zero. They have too much of a back catalgouge of songs and something "big" would be missed. Of course, anything is possible.

I have always been disappointed that Night & Day never made it into Zoo setlists or onto Best of 1990-2000. It is one of my favorite all time U2 songs and the bridge between the 80's U2 and 90's U2.

I thought I'd just point out that Night And Day is a cover. So there's at least some of the reason why it didn't appear.

yes I know but so was Satellite of Love, Help, Helter Skelter, All Along the Watchtower, What's Going On, etc.

U2 haven't done many covers since Zoo, though. And Night And Day is a totally different style of song to the covers they did do.

Ah no it wasn't! Johnny Cash covered their song.

Ah sorry no...I don't want to get into an argument about this but One sung by U2 is their song...Bono made the words up on the spot. I read the book by Bill Flanagan on it.

hahahhaha! It was IRONY!!!

 

[U2Girl1978]

I'm not so good with irony!

 

[Zooropean103]

Just to assure: I KNOW that One is U2 song.
