Seattle II Setlist Bitch and Thread Party - PART TWO

[VintagePunk]

sometimes when I am drunk, or tired or playful I repeat myself.............

sometimes when I am drunk, or tired or playful I repeat myself.............

I only repeat myself when the other person doesn't hear me the first....or second...or the third...or the fourth time....and so on....and so on.....

 

[Lila64]

I don't think I have AIM on my computer anymore. I'll just send you an email tomorrow....k? thanks! 'nite


And....2 Vertigo's?

I'll still be up for an hour or two if you want to email me tonite. No problem (wondering what she's gonna ask )

 

[VintagePunk]

ALso, not sure if it's been mentioned, but ADAM and Bono bullfighted during Mysterious Ways. At the end, Bono said it was the first time they'd done that (?) and he liked it.

I did too

Oh, THAT'S what she said!! I was on the phone with someone at the tip of the ellipse, and she was trying to tell me something about someone dancing with Adam, but I couldn't make out what she was saying. So there was no girl pulled up for that song?

 

[u2girlcj]

Totally beside the point.

There's no excuse for playing the same song twice when you're a band of U2's calibre with a catalogue of their depth.

grrr.

I already excused them!! And I got over the fact that 40 wasn't played before i even left the stadium. Please don't be so upset Axver!!

 

[Lila64]

Yeah, like my husband , but I can say that now since he's asleep

 

[LyricalDrug]

But ... why? I want to know what motivated them to play Vertigo AGAIN rather than a DIFFERENT SONG.

Dude, who cares?! Who knows?! It was probably an impulsive decision, made on the spot, based on the vibe of the room. Don't overanalyze this stuff or you take all the fun out of it. Chill out!

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

At least me and your husband are on the same page (sorry for the English goof..if it is an English goof)

No girls. They were definitely in a different groove tonight.

Had pulled up a young boy during "Sometimes" The way he was singing to him brought tears to my eyes, I can't really explain. The way he was singing to him.

 

[Lila64]

what do you mean? I know I have to repeat things over & over to him - then he claims sometimes I never said certain things. Drives me crazy!

sounds like they took a trip back to their punk roots, being all rebellious and shit.

 

[Axver]

The thread's called Setlist Bitch so I'M GOING TO BITCH ABOUT THE SETLIST!



No, seriously now: I think it's stupid. OK, I'm hypocritical, I'd probably lose my mind with joy if 11 O'clock Tick Tock were done twice, but then again, I'd take a show of that played 23 times in a row so it might not be such a good comparison!

U2 have plenty of songs to play. They could've AT LEAST come back for 40.

Impulsive decision that was stupid. They could've at least done I Will Follow instead of REPEATING A SONG.

If they don't play 40 on 28 May, I will be very pissed indeed.

 

[u2girlcj]

Agreed.

I tend to like it when they shake things up a bit, but the way they end with 40 is brilliant and I'd hate to miss it. So we're on the same page there

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

It drives me nuts whenever I have to repeat myself.

 

[korczykp]

dropping 40 is a bit of a downer, everyone singing "how long" for minutes after the show is an amazing end to a show

Vertigo is also a neat way to end it, but then don't play it twice, they have way too vast a catalogue to repeat the same song twice in a setlist

 

[farluu]

I dunno folks. Fantastic setlist, ADAM in a bullfight, young lads being pulled onstage for powerful ballads, Vertigo as a closer, and an eyewitness account of a "different groove" sounds like a killer show to me.

 

[VintagePunk]

I got to listen to 5 songs, and I know they sounded amazing...I'm even more excited about seeing my shows now. Tonight sounds like one that shouldn't be missed..can't wait to hear the closing Vertigo...the way you described it, the energy sounds awesome!

 

[Lila64]

u2girlcj - were you on the floor or in seats (but not sitting, obviously)

 

[Palace_Hero]

Axver complaining about U2 being repetitive is fucking ironic, considering the lack of variation in the shit he posts.

Axver, there's a chance that they might not play 40 that night. Maybe you'd better hand over your tickets to me, and save yourself the grief.

I need the Vertigo2 in mp3 - where is it!?!?

I'm sorry to do this...but.....

 

[u2girlcj]

Seats tonight, which I was dreading after GA last night. But that just goes to show how the energy was, I guess!

And yes, when I first came in, I told the guys behind me I'd be standing up all night - as a warning.

What problem do you have with me? Lately, you've posted a number of insults of me, and I have utterly no idea what has inspired this apparent hatred of me. I've never been rude or disrespectful to you.

 

[Lila64]

VP - I think I deserve them - after all, 5/28 is my birthday!

 

[VintagePunk]

I think it was posted for download yesterday.

 

[u2girlcj]

axver, we're laughing *with* you.


(I hope)
