Brisbane I Set List Party

[Purplereign]

Am I doing the setlist again or would anyone else volounteer?
I might have to leave you soon.

. . . I'll try and pop in a bit later and pick up the slack if you have to take off

music time!

. . . I like I Will Follow early in the set

 

[Axver]

IWF may be U2's most-played live song ever, but I wish they'd play it every night rather than half the stuff they DO play every night.

Plus it keeps Pride out of the most-played slot.

I was just thinking the same thing. It's very likely.

Although I'd probably still take that bet because you never know with Bono. It could have been an *N SYNC snippet or some shit.

au contraire, if the european shows are anything to go by, bono + rain = fantabulous

low risk bet, i'd take it too. it could also be inxs, the go-betweens, anything a little bit local.

The most irritating thing ever. Make it stop.

Predictions for 10 & 11?

I will go with a relative outside chance in BFFTS and Pride.

*tears*

Predictions for 9 & 10?

I'll keep BFFTS and swap Pride for, err, Glastonbury or EBW

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

He does the Rain snippet basically whenever it's raining at a gig, right?

It was written by John Lennon, though. Interesting story behind the song, too. Apparently a lot of the song was composed when he was very high. This is what John said about the song in Anthology:

Half the musical ideas I've had have been accidental. The first time I discovered backwards guitar was when we made Rain. This was a song I wrote about people moaning about the weather all the time. I took the tracks home to see what gimmicks I could add, because the song wasn't quite right.

I got home from the studio stoned out of my mind on marijuana, and, as I usually do, I listened to what I'd recorded that day. Somehow I got it on backwards and I sat there, transfixed, with the earphones on, with a big hash joint. I ran in the next day and said, 'I know what to do with it, I know... Listen to this!' So I made them all play it backwards.

I wanted to do the whole song backwards. We ended up with a bit of the voice at the end backwards and half the guitar backwards.

RIP, John.

And fuck you to hell, Mark Chapman.

I meant 10 & 11... Elevation was mysteriously missing from the setlist I was using to work out the numbers

 

[The_Edge89]

Sorry, must've missed Elevation for some reason!

Morning everyone I couldn't sleep knowing there was a concert going on wondering what is being played. Wondering when they will they will sing BFFTS given that I heard it so many times when they were rehearsing it - maybe it will be tonight or perhaps at Sydney?

 

[cleazer]

Stand By Me snippet or whole song?

 

[cleazer]

North Star is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yay, some new stuff hits Australia finally!
