Random Music Thread XXXV: Cobbler Strikes Again

[lazarus]

I thought it was the first time I'd heard it live as well, but realized they played it at the SLC Elevation show.

Sure about that?

discussion. It's among my five favorite U2 songs and the one thing that I really feel we missed out on.

Not going to complain about the setlist beyond that though because it was incredible.

all i can say is thank god for the blind guitar player.

 

[corianderstem]

I was surprised to see it leave. I figured it got swapped out at Anaheim 2 with that whole second night rotation thing.

 

[PhilsFan]

I think if you take the best parts of the tour and put together a setlist, it's pretty damn great:

Spoiler

Even Better than the Real Thing
The Fly
Mysterious Ways
Until the End of the World
New Year's Day
No Line on the Horizon
Breathe
Beautiful Day
All I Want Is You
The Unforgettable Fire
Miss Sarajevo
Zooropa
City of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
Crazy Tonight
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Mothers of the Disappeared
One Tree Hill

One
Where the Streets Have No Name

Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
Moment of Surrender
Bad

All those songs have been played on this tour. You keep four songs from NLOTH involved too.

I strangely got that and

at all three shows I saw and they are two of my favorites for that part of the show. I felt like I had not heard them much over the years.

So you need to go to Minn.

That's it? Seems like there should be more considering all the changes.

You also forgot all the new songs, but that's probably a good thing. I'd be open to putting Bird Falls From The Sky in there, though.

That wasn't a list of every song played on the tour, I hope you realize.

 

[lazarus]

Ahh.

And you kept Miss Serve-ajevo?

What's wrong with you?

 

[LemonMelon]

The band in crisis clearly needs your help getting out of bed in the morning to look at their dreary, aging, uncreative faces in the mirror.

That thread and Y MOAR ACHTUNG!??? have become two of the forum's most absurd after seeing the band for myself.

 

[No spoken words]

If I had to make such a list, Your Blue Room sure as fuck would be on there....that shit was amazing, regardless of how people received it. Electrical Storm was cool, but, not amazing.

And, of course.....hearing The Unforgettable Fire a bunch of times was an incredible gift for me. God that was epic.

 

[PhilsFan]

I didn't really know what else to put there, and I was kind of trying to keep the framework of the setlist intact. Probably an oversight.

 

[lazarus]

I think I would put No Net as the opener.

But I'd keep Breed in there somewhere, as well as EBTTRC.

NSW with a good idea there, maybe put Your Blue Room in for Miss Sarajevo.

I had forgotten they played it.

Electrical Storm kinda blew.

That was unfair. Scared the fuck out of me.

I'll never forget it. Seriously. It was gorgeous and a true gift to diehard fans. Or so I think.

 

[corianderstem]

I really fucking love Electrical Storm (even despite the chorus, easily the weakest part of the song), and am disappointed that they couldn't pull that one off.

Love that they tried it a few times, though.

It was far from awesome or perfect...but it was still kind of cool.

At the time.

Maybe not so much now.

Yet highly entertaining.

Tough call for me. I love Miss Sarajevo

Spoiler

although the new animated video material supporting it isn't nearly as powerful as the women holding up that sign

but YBR was special.

 

[corianderstem]

Very much agreed with your spoilered comment.

I really wish the Miss Sarajevo film was available on Netflix. I think you can only buy it through Bill Carter's website, though. Not that it's expensive. I'd actually like to get around to picking it up one of these days. I loved his book (and not just the U2 part!).

You had to be there, I really think that, but still:

I don't get what's so hard about it. Edge shouldn't have forced a new guitar line in there when chords would have worked just fine. Also, the synthesizer bit is faaaaaar too loud...they got a little too reliant on the tapes there.

Would I have lost my shit if they played it yesterday though? Of course. It's a great song.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Muttering "for fuck's sake."

 

[No spoken words]

Watching that clip makes me smile.....Trevor and I were struck dumb, I think....we'd heard they might play it but I didn't really think they would.....I think we were both in shock.
