BARCELONA - song requests: "Spanish Eyes" and "El Pueblo Vencera"!?
Dedicated to everybody attending the Camp Nou show on Sunday - and mybe those, who want to celebrate the magical tunes "Spanish Eyes" or even "El Pueblo Vencera" live:
So with a lot of people lamenting about the (non-)flexible setlists in Europe at the moment - with one single night following the other - why not simply do something, when you are in the Front of Stage area, especially close to the main stage.
The best advice: Write a rather attractive sign with a clearly visible song request in large, thick letters and show it to Bono.
But beware of three things:
1. You might get no reaction at all from U2
2. Only show your sign from time to time (maximum three times in the whole set) and not for ages, because the ones behind you want to follow the show, too! So be sure that Bono really looks in your direction and light is on you and the audience.
3. If the band decides to play your song, maybe even with you on guitar - you made the night: for your yourself and us others.
Any suggestions for song requests? Well, everybody should request the song, he (she) wants to, but I'd go for 'Spanish Eyes' right from the beginning (the more signs in the audience the better), or even 'El Pueblo Vencera' being the Spanish coda to 'Mothers Of The Disappeared' (a brilliant alternative in Spain to 'Miss Sarajewo').
But maybe you want to surprise us in requesting to play guitar - and surprise the band in playing 'A Sort Of Homecoming' with them. But: With requests like these, don't forget to bring a fotocopy of the lyrics with you - Bono will need them....
