If you could hear U2 cover one song on the tour what would it be

[Harry Vest]

Joy Division and The Undertones!!!!
Great Picks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I also love the Porcupine Tree selection.
How about a Neil Young cover????????
Like a Hurricane or Hey Hey, My My?????????
Or "Ceremony" by New Order (Joy Division).
Or something by the Clash.
OR...AND THIS ONE WOULD WORK...
BORDERLINE BY THIN LIZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BWU2Buffs]

Red Rain by Peter Gabriel
or maybe Don't Give Up

Very solid -- Biko would be cool as well.

 

[BluRmGrl]

they've done never tear us apart, need you tonight, and devil inside on the elevation tour. i'm DESPERATE to get my hands on them as mp3s but i can't find them anywhere. (is it obvious inxs is still one of my favorite bands and michael hutchence STILL my favorite performer of all time)
but oh GOD doing shine like it does? i would collapse. i REALLY want elegantly wasted. it's a campanion piece to gone. both songs were written from the same conversation between bono and hutch

U2 singing "Never Tear Us Apart"??!?!? I've never heard that, but have always wanted to!
I saw them in Charlotte NC on the Elevation tour, but they didn't perform any INXS -- it was only the 3rd show of the tour, so they were still pretty focused on their own stuff I guess.
If you ever find an MP3 of "NTUA", though, look me up -- I would DEFINATELY be interested in it!!

Personal Jesus by DM

 

[Axver]

Heeeeeey macarena~

They did that. Edge's karaoke segment at a Spanish Popmart concert. He got booed.

 

[learn2kneel]

I'll Do Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That could fit nicely into the U2 playlist but I'd also like to see Theme from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air make an appearance on the new tour.

 

[mysticchild]

I would love to hear People Get Ready, that would be a flash back

 

[fah]

Neil Young's 'Rocking in the Free World'

or

Bob Dylan's 'To Make You Feel My Love'

 

[stargift]

Dear Prudence--The Beatles

 

[LostAtMoon]

Ramones - Beat on the Brat At least I know how it would sound...

 

[corner]

I'd love to hear Bono make the familiar introduction of "This is Bad..." and then launch into the Michael Jackson number!

"Your butt is mine..."

 

[maxpouliot]

we built this city by starship (voted the worst song of all time)

 

[bigloader]

best cover songs

even though it would NEVER happen, I would love to hear either "Nutz on Yo chin" by Eazy E or "Face Down, Ass Up" by 2 Live Crew.

In all reality, they are going to be playing "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham, although from what I hear their version is strikingly different from the original.

Love the Red Rain idea or anything Peter Gabriel...

I'd love to hear them do Redemption Song again. Axver, when was the last time it was played?

17 July 1993, Bologna. I have it on DVD and it's a pretty good cover, one I wouldn't object to if they did it.

 

[Desert Dog]

I'm gettin soft in my old age but I have always liked the old classic covers - Help, Cant Help Falling in Love, Unchained Melody, When Will I See You Again (mostly a snippet on Elevation Tour), etc.
