Saitama II Setlist Watch and Party

[gmc]

I know we're in Japan here,but I think when Wham! played China back in the day,weren't the crowd only allowed to clap at the end of every song and remaining seated? I wouldn't know how to control meself with Andrew Ridgley's guitar playing.....

Good morning everybody

 

[andyuk]

so do we have a sourse?

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

So, who opened last night?

SMB

 

[adrball]

no-one opened last night.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

So, no openers in Japan? U2 goes on at 7:30? cool... Opening acts get in the way. Loved Keane though. Pearl Jam will rock too

SMB

 

[Axver]

So, who opened last night?

SMB

There's no opener at any of the Japanese shows.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

Well, U2 coulda called me... I'd have opened up! hahahhaa

SMB

 

[Axver]

I have to wonder: when was the last time U2 didn't have an opener? Ever? Did they have openers back on ZooTV and Popmart in Japan?

I just wish that this lack of an opener meant a three hour setlist.

 

[gmc]

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.....they don't make 'em like they use to.Thank the Lord........

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

Big Audio Dynamite II on ZooTV... PopMart there was no opener

Did Howie B do his thing, though? I know some other Popmart shows technically had no opener (e.g. Reggio Emilia), but Howie B was there DJing.

SMB

I'd have been up for going over there to Bono-strum a guitar and perform a cover of Mofo.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

So sad... One last show after this and its Japan and Japan setlist parties are weak... Then Hawaii and I won't be here for the party, I'll be there haha

SMB

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

SMB

 

[coolian2]

Bono-strum a guitar... So, I take it you arent that good? haha jk...

SMB

I've touched a guitar twice in my life.



I want to learn though

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

Playing the guitar is easier than I thought it would be. But I've been playing my whole life. I have been teaching myself the piano the last couple years. I'm an Edge at piano, I can fool around with chords

SMB

 

[bono_man2002]

I'd be willing to stream some Music maybe....i'm not sure my 256k upload would be much fun for all.

Do Lemon as well. All you have to do is stand there, hold the guitar, and look cool while the backing tracks and synths do everything for you.

Acoustic.

I expect a full electric 4th Of July with extended shredding solo preced by a tambourine solo!

 

[andyuk]

does anyone know why U2 don't have a opening band in Japan? surely some local japenese band would be ok?

Bloody hell...are you expecting me to find a band and fly them over too? Or will i do one of those Springsteen setups with drums between my knees and a tambourine on my foot?

Mofo (acoustic)

You're a Kiwi, right? Of course you can do it by yourself. Getting other people to do stuff is for lazy foreigners.

I hope you're rehearsing Freedom For My People. It would fit in well!
