Axver said:This is just lame. U2 pull out a couple of total surprises and people STILL complain. My goodness.
In any case, those who've reported back from the show say Walk On was great and the atmosphere during the song was wonderful and unifying - I believe one post said it was like in a small club.

Walk On was fabulous last night!! It fit into the setlist beautifully and looked to be a choice of the moment with Bono approaching The Edge after The Ocean and whispering in his year.
Then, they played Walk On. Although acousitc it was magnificient. The crowd loved it.
The show last night was well done and may have been better than the other 4 Chicago shows in May (it is hard to say). There is no reason for complaints about last nights show.
Discotheque sounded unbelievable!!!!!

On another note, I don't understand how anyone can be critical of a show they didn't attend? (eg. U2man)

If you shout... said:Just to get it out there--the performance was indeed terrible. Shockingly terrible. At the same time, though, it was terribly endearing and, judging by my constant crowd-watching, brought the band and the audience closer together.
I also do think it was an improvised performance, just like the Elevation-debut of "I Still Haven't Found..." was in May 2001. "Walk On," unlike the other songs, was not on Bono's teleprompter screen. "The First Time" was on it, but not "Walk On."

Stroubidoul said:I've eared it this morning... the end was not... really really good...
U2@NYC said:Just saw the acoustic 'Walk On'... hell, it is not the full band version, but I will take any 'Walk On' version they sing... even it is Bono signing acapella....
Walk On rules!
U2Man said:
I thought One ruled
U2@NYC said:
One also rules... but Walk On has been less played. So I would love if it became a landmark of this third leg.
Acoustic... electric... acapella... I don't care.
U2Man said:
But that guitar riff is soo beautiful....
JOFO said:on a side note, I'm pretty sure they played "the first time" on a few zooropa shows.
atikicat said:My friend got a setlist from Joe back at the soundboard after the show. Walk On and The First Time were both on it. They were planned.
I'd rather get a rough version of a song they haven't played yet than a polished version of Vertigox2.
