Denver II Setlist Watch and Thread Party.

[*Ally*]

Of course...Pride is such a crowd pleaser!

sigh... i guess i'm just a spoiled diehard, but i could totally do without pride!

 

[Chizip]

when they played bad at phoenix 2 i was soooooo hoping they would transition it into streets

but now thye had to throw pride in between

pride into streets just seems so awkward

 

[MrBrau1]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why U2 keep playing Pride, whether you like it or not.

Same thing with Elevation.

But Yahweh was beautiful live - I enjoyed it all 3 times live and on my one CD from my show...

pride into streets just seems so awkward

bad --> psalm --> streets

amazing, just amazing. i really miss that combo, as well as the red screen/bright lights/bono running around the heart....

Yea...but I like Pride and Elevation!!! Don't why you guys think these songs are annoying

 

[Stingray]

[Axver]

Maybe he'll sing MLK soon!

 

[ericnurgles]

The shows are all sold out. There are true fans without tickets all over the world. Why do they have to worry about pleasing anyone with Pride and Elevation?

 

[MikeSt]

pssshah I could listen to Elevation live till my ears bled

 

[Lila64]

Yea...but I like Pride and Elevation!!! Don't why you guys think these songs are annoying

I love them too!

i like elevation! don't like pride, for some reason... i dunno, maybe i just feel like it doesn't have that much energy anymore. or maybe i don't have much enthusiasm for it, so it seems like it doesn't have energy. ??? but elevation, i like!

different strokes for different folks...

 

[angel_28]

I get tired of Pride ....don't know why?...i like the song...i just don't always feel like hearing it....

 

[Chizip]

does anybody remember what performance of one had the "walking away" snippet at the end?

i think it was like a 1 time thing

after remembering it i really want to download it now

 

[MrBrau1]

Cause U2 are generally out of touch with their hardcore fanbase.

i disagree. i thought it was awkward and lame with the "how long to sing this song" part. it could never tough please into streets.

 

[U2Girl1978]

If people want the red light badly during Streets, why doesn't anyone ask him when they are meeting him before the show??? Has anyone asked yet? It's not going to change if people don't speak up.

 

[timothius]

*enters the party*

Have they played Bad yet?

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

different strokes for different folks...

Yea...I guess so......... I guess so.


Ohh...I hope they do play MLK...such a tender song!

 

[Niceman]

I like elevation, more than I expected to, but Pride-Streets-One all bore me.

 

[angel_28]

*enters the party*

Have they played Bad yet?

Yes they have

I've been planning to seek him out and ask him this specifically for almost a month now.

 

[Axver]

Because a LOT of people love those songs. Because the band like playing them. Because they get a better reaction than, say, An Cat Dubh.

A lot of reasons.

 

[Queen Bee]

*enters the party*

Have they played Bad yet?

Yes.

 

[ericnurgles]

They should have opened Phoenix with Streets in front of the red light, old school style, imo.

U2 has always seemed interested in breakng new ground, but there are times when being nostalgic is definitely a good thing. They missed the boat in AZ, in my opinion. They need me workng for them. I promise I would not steer them wrong.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

^ What Axver said.

 

[CPTwister]

Cause U2 are generally out of touch with their hardcore fanbase.

Which make up probebly 10 to 15% of the total audience. U2 are about pleasing the masses. When you are as successful as U2 you have a TON of casual fans that came to hear those songs. The fact that U2 are throwing The Ocean, Electric Co, and An Cat Dubh out there tells me they are throwing the diehards a few bones. They may not be YOUR song choices. Cant please everyone, not even with the diehard songs.

 

[timothius]

Yes.

This is good.

*dances*

Any other suprises? ZS out?!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

I'd like to see Streets open with the red light, then the big burst of bright light, then fade to the African flags.
