[POP-ROMANCER]

the first was from opening gig last night by the way. But I think you know...

 

[Aardvark747]

Can see numbers from Pop appearing at least once during the tour - the same with R+H and at least 'Stay' from Zooropa...

 

[STERKERNOG]

would be cool if they put a song like Hawkmoon back in the set, or God pt II for that matter, but I think it's to heavy on Bono's voice these days

 

[Aardvark747]

God Part II would be awesome! Agree with u on his voice tho Sterkernog....

 

[BigMacPhisto]

October: 0
Zoo: 0
Pop: 0

No surprises there.........I think we'll see "Gone" and "Staring" a few times on the tour.........Zooropa and October, well, I wouldn't be surprised if they went the whole tour without playing a song from either........but I wouldn't rule out "Gloria" or "Stay" from making an appearance or two.......

They'll play something from Rattle and Hum tomorrow. I guarantee it.

 

[Axver]

I'm calling Gloria tomorrow, the first time any song from October has been played in over 15 years.

Nothing from RAH or Zooropa, maybe Gone from Pop.

 

[LMP]

RaH should atleast get some love from the regular three: Desire, Angel..., and All I Want... some point this tour

same w/ the rest of the albums that weren't used yet.

 

[Axver]

Haven't we heard Desire and Angel Of Harlem enough? If they can't play Desire like it was on Lovetown, they just shouldn't waste the setlist spot. But damn, if they did a Lovetown Desire, the roof would be blown off! That rocked SO HARD.

 

[LMP]

I never really said that I wanted those 2 songs, but that they should be played since they're usually a staple in the setlists, sry 2 the confusion

if it were up 2 me...GOD PART II

 

[Axver]

God Part II would knock me off my feet!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

I'm with LemonMacPhisto. God Part II would be wonderful, and I'm not averse to AIWIY or AOH. But please, please, please, bury Desire for this tour. I wouldn't mind a full-on electric one, Zoo TV style, though. I actually preferred that to the Lovetown version, mostly because the guitar was hard-rockin' and funky and psychadelic.

 

[typhoon]

PLAY "GLORIA," ASSHOLES.

 

[RademR]

tommorow's setlist:

I'd put a wager on IWF & UTEOTW

maybes: gloria, ISHFWILF, WOWY

 

[U2DMfan]

I'm with RademR, and maybe Stay as a wild card.

I'd pit my shants if they broke out Lemon.

Bono wouldn't know the words anyways, but it would be cool if I only heard the 'midnight' chorus.

 

[FoundwhatI'mlookingfor]

Gloria

Given the blast from the past songs from October were noticeably absent. But I've heard Bono said they'd never do Gloria again live. Hope he's outgrown that thought.

I also miss Pop. It was a tough one to get used to, but the pain and narcissism in that album was palpable.

It would appear that he has. Gloria was rehearsed in Los Angeles. I think it was the 24th, the rehearsal set ended with All Because Of You/Gloria/40. Not 100% sure on the date but it was definitely rehearsed.

Amen!

Personally, I think they're done with the middle-of-the-set acoustic part.... Unless you count Running To Stand Still, but that's not a drastic change from the original. Either way, Desire should be retired acoustically. But electrically, it needs to come out of retirement.

It would be fun to hear them do it right after All Because Of You. Axver, have you heard the version of Gloria done by the band "Audio Adrenaline"? Their version reminds me of if you mixed Gloria with the beat of All Because Of You....

I wanna hear Last Night On Earth again.

Could you imagine if they ripped out Desire --> All Along The Watchtower? I think you and I would both die from excitement.

If you adhere to the spiritual interpretation of ABOY, ABOY/Gloria/40 could make quite a bit of thematic sense!

No, I haven't heard that version, though I was under the impression that Audio Adrenaline aren't all that great ...

They're not. But I thought they did a pretty good cover! Basically, to me, it sounds like the drums from All Because Of You with the guitars, words and melodies of Gloria.

Desire (w/shredding solo)-->All Along The Watchtower-->God Part II-->One Tree Hill (w/extra verse and extended solo)-->The Unforgettable Fire-->Promenade-->4th Of July-->Bad

Just thinking about that make me go into cardiac arrest.

I think you just killed me about ten times over.

Hm, Gloria would be odd without Larry's distinctive drumming, but still - sounds interesting!

 

[the tourist]

I think after something like that, they'd need a rather large clean-up crew as I believe half the people at that particular venue would be deceased.

The other half will have melted into puddles of fanatical goop and the venue would be flooded. The band would have to evacuate the second the final note of Bad rings out.

Nice usage of the word "goop". It's not a word I see every day.

This would mean, though, that Bad would have to close. I say Bad-->40 and THEN we all die and become goop. And perhaps before Desire can be Streets-->Heartland-->City Of Blinding Lights-->Acrobat....?

That'd be a short concert, but I don't think we could survive much longer anyway, so bring it on!

*dreams of such an amazing gig*
