The transition of Pride (In The Name Of Love)

[theu2fly]

So I had been listening to bootlegs for quite a while and I've been listening to all the spots Pride has fallen into...

During the Unforgettable Fire tour, it was October -> New Year's Day -> Pride

This continued until the Joshua Tree, and then Lovetown was New Year's Day -> Pride

Then with ZOO TV, it became Streets -> Pride this lasted until 1993

POPMart continued the Joshua Tree/UF combo of New Year's Day -> Pride

Elevation brought back ZOO TV's combo of Streets -> Pride

But now Vertigo presents it in a different spot -- a song that segues into Streets, thus Pride -> Streets ... quite an awkward transition considering what's been through. My guess is the band can't find a solid spot for it -- it may have been better as New Year's Day -> Pride, that's what worked for about 5-7 years.

So does this mean by the next tour, they'll have found a spot for Pride, it's true spot?

 

[BVS]

No such thing as a true spot. My guess is the band doesn't want to play the same sequence tour to tour.

I'd be perfectly fine if they cut it altogether, but unfortunetely, Bono said that wont happen.

When did Bono say that?

I was going to be the jerk and say that the perfect place for Pride is on my The Unforgettable Fire CD

When did Bono say that?

Well, on the Vertigo DVD, at the beginning of Miracle Drug, he says something about "the best bits of the past, we'll take with us. Songs like SBS, Pride, and Streets." To me, that implied that those 3 songs they will ALWAYS play.

I love Pride... it always reminds me of them on the Simpsons

 

[PopFly]

Why not an acoustic version of Pride? Or an occasional show closer?

Bono says a lot of things.
