well guys there is hope for one tree hill....

[KUEFC09U2]

Would Love U2 to Play
‘Threw A Brick Through A Window’ or ‘Twilight’. One of the most difficult songs I find to listen to – for personal reasons - is ‘One Tree Hill’ and I think I would love to hear that from the stage because of the friendship I had with Greg Carroll. I’d probably cry my eyes out too. I’m sure as the tour progresses we might get to it.

I hope he's not kidding! That would be awesome!

 

[Blue Room]

Doubt it, unless they play New Zealand next year.

The guy whose death inspired the song.

Greg was a New Zealander (a Maori actually) who became involved with the band during the Unforgettable Fire tour there in '84. He would go on to become Bono's "personal roadie"*, but was killed in a road accident during The Joshua Tree's recording while on an errand for Bono.

I'm pretty sure it's he who can be seen running around like a madman fixing mic stands and untangling cables, as Bono ran all over the place during Live Aid.

That would be amazing. Maybe they can swap out RTSS for OTH.
