Snippet-Free Songs

[U2FanPeter]

I was thinking the other day if Streets has ever had a snippet. I could only think of the bible verse in 2001 slight arrangement changes.

Are there other u2 songs that are routinely played that NEVER feature any kind of snippetting?

[Axver]

There was one show this year with an All You Need Is Love snippet at the end of Streets, and my favourite ever Streets has William Wordsworth's Resolution And Independence snippeted during the intro.

Songs like Party Girl, An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart, Zoo Station, and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses haven't had snippets.

I would like to see them try a snippet in Freedom For My People. Infact I would like to see them play it live fullstop!

Elevation had, of all songs, Hot In Herre at a UK gig this year, and snippets such as Creep and In God's Country on Elevation. 40 has had snippets back in the eighties, such as Give Peace A Chance and the Band Aid song. Discotheque was Popmart's snippet-fest, with some performances having upwards of three snippets, such as Can't Stand The Rain, Life During Wartime, Stayin' Alive, The Fly, and Whole Lotta Love. All I Want Is You has featured Sexual Healing, and Running To Stand Still has included songs such as Dirty Old Town, Amazing Grace, and Walk On.

Streets/Heartland snippet

 

[Miricale_Drug]

oh yes of course.. running in the uk leg this year. ]


whoops. lol.

 

[LMP]

Elevation also had Bono botching the lyrics to Da Ya Think I'm Sexy from the 9/21 Chicago show

it was pretty funny

 

[Lancemc]

Don't know about this tour, but Running To Stand Still has had snippets in the past.


Dirty Old Town Snippet

 

[Nisse]

"We've been waiting all day for you" thing in An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart? I Will Follow had a snippet of something in Gothenburg iirc

 

[Clawgrabber]

Elevation had snippets of The Doors "Light My Fire" and John Lennon's "Instant Karma"

As far as I know Gone has never featured a snippet.

Oh, and Bad.

I will stake money on this claim: "Bad" has never, ever, without hyperbole or exaggeration, ever featured a snippet of any kind, be it a complete verse or a single lyric. Never.

If you can prove me wrong I'll eat my hat!

 

[U2FanPeter]

Have Yahweh/ABOY ever had snippets?

Even Better/Mysterious Ways?

Stuck/Sometimes/Kite?

I Will Follow had a "Ring Those Bells" snippet on the Boston DVD.

RRTS - are the 'hallelujah' parts a snippet?

How about the snippet of 40 after Bad in the Boston DVD?

I think he was being sarcastic.


At least I hope so Otherwise I'd have to start listing all sorts of snippets that have been played after Bad. There are dozens.

 

[Clawgrabber]

more like hundreds. Bad is a showcase for snippets, suckers!!!

Stuck in a moment had "When Will I See You Again"

Sometimes... had "Black Hills Of Dakota" & "No Regrets'

Mysterious Ways had "Sexual Healing"

 

[atikicat]

I've got an '85 boot from Bologna, Italy that has a version of Party Girl that goes on forever with lots of additional lyrics. Not sure if they're actual snippets of other songs or just Bono making them up as he goes along. In fact that whole concert, as I recall has a lot of snippet/added lyrics in it. One of my favorite UF boots.

 

[Axver]

"We've been waiting all day for you" thing in An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart? I Will Follow had a snippet of something in Gothenburg iirc

That ACD/ITH thing isn't a snippet, just something Bono occasionally sung. I particularly like the "tomorrow, wait for that day" version of it on 13 December 1981. I can't think of any I Will Follow snippets off the top of my head besides Bono's "ring those bells, Edge" story on Elevation, but hell, it's been played over 700 times, it has to have had a snippet sometime! And to whoever said UF Bologna's Party Girl, those are made-up lyrics. Some great stuff added to 40 at that show.

Yahweh had a snippet at a European show, I forget what it was exactly but 'Seven' was in the title. ABOY once had Mr Tambourine Man. Mysterious Ways has had quite a few, such as My Sweet Lord, Love To Love You Baby, and Sexual Healing. I can't think of anything off the top of my head for EBTTRT or Kite, and while I think Kite may not've had anything, I'm not so sure about EBTTRT. Stuck had all kinds of stuff such as When Will I See You Again and When I Get Home, and Sometimes has had No Regrets, Black Hills Of Dakota, Torna A Surriento, and one show in Chicago even had In A Little While snippeted at the start. The "hallelujah" part of RTSS isn't a snippet but it's had plenty of other snippets in the past.

 

[U2FanPeter]

In My Life-->Kite?

I was also trying to think if the pearl jam show was the only time Bono has sung Neil Young lyrics.

[Axver]

In My Life was before Stuck in all the instances I can recall.

U2 have covered Neil Young's Southern Man in full - though Bono's ability to remember the lyrics has been dodgy at best!

 

[Popmartijn]

Kite had a snippet of Somewhere Over The Rainbow at the first Antwerp gig (5 August 2001)
And Axver, I think the Yahweh snippet you referred to was 7 Seconds (by Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry)

Ah, I didn't know about that Kite snippet, and yes, that's the Yahweh snippet I meant! Thanks!

 

[bridonohue]

axver, do you have a listing of snippets on your website anywhere? or the ones used on the vertigo tour?

 

[bridonohue]

also, i swore i heard bono throw in a line of please at dc1. i think it was during btbs or sbs, i don't recall. just "please, get up off your knees"

i'll have to listen to the boot to double check.

 

[Axver]

axver, do you have a listing of snippets on your website anywhere? or the ones used on the vertigo tour?

Yep, right here.

And Please has been snippeted regularly in Bullet, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a line at the DC show. I was listening via phone but the quality was too bad to make anything out.
