Wow, I thought there were plenty as it is! Can you remember any others? Was Bullet With Butterfly Wings in Electric Co.?

Axver said:
Streets has been played more times, aren't you tired of it? One's only been played 5 times less, aren't you tired of it? I'm sure you aren't. Some of the old regulars, I'm tired of - Pride mainly - but something like Bad is so classic. And it hasn't even been played at every show since the Joshua Tree Tour! It's nowhere near an old regular like Streets or One. You aren't guaranteed to hear Bad at a U2 show and I think that's helped to make it quite special.
As far as U2's definitive songs go in my opinion:
Studio: Streets
Live: Bad
Individual performance: One Tree Hill
I don't disagree with you there. I think it's just weak to cut something that's, say, 5 minutes and replace it with The Ocean.

How about if they cut something 5 minutes, but replace with The Ocean AND Love Comes Tumbling?
LemonMelon said:Which song would be actually worth cutting a 5 minute song for; Scarlet or The Ocean?
Scarlet...

I think that's all correct!
Axver said:
Excellent!
Seems Bono was very snippet-happy tonight. Was he in a good mood?
Axver said:Wow, sounds great! I honestly just wish the set had been more varied, considering it was a fourth night show. But if the band played well and entertained everyone there, what does it matter?
Now bring on that live Mofo everyone's hoping for ...
Axver said:I think it's actually pretty cool that Pop Muzik has now been coupled with another song. Just like how on this tour, WGRYWH was FINALLY played with a song other than UTEOTW preceding it.
The ABOY/Fast Cars combo sounds like it would work really well. Fast Cars from the first night sounded great - did it improve with repeat performances?
Zoomerang96 said:oh, and someone should explain a bit more of what discoteque was like.
EXPLAIN!
better yet, provide an mp3.
Zoomerang96 said:well then, what's up with this being "filmed"? did i read that right? why are they taping yet another show?
oceane said:
I wasn't there on the first night, but others have told me that yeah, it improved greatly. I mean tonight it was so good I thought this song might become one of the those "obscure" U2 songs that become classics live (like 11 O'Clock Tick Tock).
oceane said:Miroslava told me one of the woman filming was the one Bono introduced her film at the TO Film Fest this week (can't remember her name, from Australia?).
