Cool teaser clip. Cool to see Adam playing the Gibson Recording Bass. Normally Adam doesn't take his Gibson bass guitars on tour. Seems that might change this time.
He's been using the RD Artist Bass for promo shows and not the Recording Bass in this clip.
Probably not to exciting for many. But for those of us that play music, it's sort of cool.

huh, another rehearsal clip?
please post the clip!!!!
Not a rehearsal clip! Just Adam talking about the rehearsals. The only thing of note he says is that they are perfecting live versions of songs they thought they couldn't play live, and now they wonder why they thought they couldn't play them live at first.

this tourIf they had a sense of humor, they would have played 27 seconds of Acrobat and then watched the message boards EXPLODE. Rather, there was nothing. A Seinfeld concept for clips? "Clips about nothing"?
This is really par for the course for the upcoming tour. Pretty bland. The only thing that has been exciting are the YouTube clips of the Claw. I really, really hope the restraint is for what is looming but I'm having massive PopMart (pre Latin America) flashbacks.

That would have been amazing... Adam should have just played a bit of it, there at the end...

That comment from Adam is the best pre-tour news yet. Edge pulling Luminous Times out of his arse was awesome, but that could have been another u2ism: a pipe dream that never eventuated. This quote has substance, and indicates that there are a fair few songs that we may have never heard before, or at least not heard much of!
I take that to mean that songs like Electrical Storm (especially as B's voice is better now than for a good 15 years), Acrobat, Ultraviolet, Crumbs, Heartland (PLEASE!!!).
Songs that for whatever reason they should have played but never did, or didnt very often

Did Clayton specify that these are old songs they couldn't play live? I mean, 7 songs from the new one haven't been played yet. The band's memory about playing songs live is another interesting point (didn't Bono at one point during the Vertigo tour say that they never played Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses yet?). On the other hand, there are definitely going to be some surprises, as there were on the last 2 tours.
But don't get your ACROBAT!!! hopes up.

Now that's interesting. Are they beginning to consider fans' setlist wishes?
And as for Adam talking: Great news, but the whole obsession with Acrobat on this board is beyond me. I honestly don't think the song would work well live. There are so many great tunes they could play. I'm hoping for surprises.

First thing that I thought of when I heard Adam speak was actually Red Hill Mining town. That song they weren't able to play technically because Bono's voice couldn't handle it. Though I'm not entirely sure how he'd be handling that now.
He probably could.

That one never worked live...
I think people need to not get too over-excited. The impression I got from watching that Adam video was that he was talking about some of the songs off the new album, that they thought might be too complex to play (Unknown Caller maybe, Fez-Being Born maybe, MOS more than likely) and are now sounding very good. I think the comment about 'it seems like we've been playing these songs for years' refers to them playing the NLOTH songs as if they've been playing them for years, not songs like Acrobat or any other rareties that they COULD have played for years if they'd wanted to.
Just my take on it.

I agree, I immediately thought he was talking about NLOTH songs. There was mention a while back that Edge was working on how to play Moment Of Surrender (I think), so it's probably along those lines.
It's still nice to have a little video, even if it's just small talk, better than nothing

I hope he's talking about the new songs. The more they play from NLOTH, the better

U2.com > News > Countdown to 360

If they article on the website asking fans to write in and say what they wanna hear live is anything to go by,
I guess we will hear
The Unforgettable Fire
&
A Sort Of Homecoming
they seem to be the most requested!!!!

but I think you're right about Bono's voice; heck, he couldn't even sing it live back in '87.Ronnie269
