Snippets....

[U2girl]

Of course. But they're easier to justify if something is actually contributed.

The Irony.

I think the Rain snippet before Streets is actually one of my favorite snippets U2 have ever done. That is just so beautiful. And it's pairing two of the best songs ever!

 

[Axver]

The Rain snippet before Streets is much better than that bloody Amazing Grace snippet at any rate.

Bollox to that Mr Ax! Amazing Grace is one of the best moments of the show! Bono's singing of it is sensational.

I like U2 snippeting themselves because we get to get references to songs we don't see anymore (or ever in some cases) on their own.

How often does Bono a U2 snippet?

I saw
-Song (Snippet)-
Bad (40)
IGCIIDGCT (Discotheque)
MOS (40)
Beautiful Day (IGCIIDGCT)
I bet there's more

By the by: I love snippets. Some songs are just made for snippets (BD, IGC)!

When was this?

As to more snippets, of course there were:

City Of Blinding Lights (Mofo) --> US Leg couple times
Beautiful Day (Desert Sky) --> Pasadena
Magnificent (Miss Sarajevo) --> Milano
The Unforgettable Fire (A Day Without Me) --> London and a few others
Streets (Gloria) --> Sheffield

just to name some.

Desert Sky? That's In God's Country.

 

[God Part III]

My two favourite snippets I've heard live:

"If You Wear That Velvet Dress" in All I Want Is You, Gothenburg 2005
"Discothèque" in Crazy Tonight, Turin and Horsens (and crossing fingers for Coimbra) 2010
"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" in The Electric Co., Dublin 2005
"My Sweet Lord" in Mysterious Ways, Turin 2010

all of which made the songs better. A better experience. I wanna sing "My Sweet Lord" everytime I hear Mysterious Ways now, it sounds so awesome

Ugh, no. I wish Bono would give it a rest.
