Istanbul Setlist Party # 1

[last unicorn]

IMO there's no way they'll play this tonight in Istanbul. Bono has no clue about the lyrics, he's just making random stuff up. However, sounds like a new and reworked version of the song. I guess we MIGHT get to hear the song later this tour or in Australia, but it sounds totally improvised and unfinished. Still great to know they remember the song and at least try to play it

Sounds incredible.

Since when has that ever stopped him from doing a song?

Wow. Just wow.

The fact that they are rehearsing it just makes me so freaking happy, cause now I'm pretty sure we'll hear it and it might even get released.

Even if the lyrics are Bongolese right now, the music sounded

PS. Good Morning everyone!

 

[zoocarolina]

I am about to shit a brick!!! MERCY, it LIVES and the new version is awesome!!!!! Please play it and don't be messing with us!!! If this is on SOA + North Star + EBW + Stingray + Glastonbury, I am going to f*ucking lose it!

U2 is the greatest band in the world and I take back whatever I ever said about them not being innovative in their shows and stagnant in their setlists!!!

This can't be happenning, you know we'll get One Tree Hill later this year too!!!!!!

 

[last unicorn]

Learn your lyrics, B!

 

[Swan269]

don't forget about 'rippin the stitches' B

 

[zoocarolina]

Willie Williams wasn't shitting with us in his diaries either, maybe there's still hope for Drowning Man someday!!!! Followed by Bad and WTSHNN!

 

[chrissybaby]

They're in the mood now... Something has changed, you could see it when they landed in Istanbul... I reckon 360 is about to go "next level".

 

[DRay9911]

OMGWTFBBQ at the soundchecked songs, in the best way possible.

bbq

happy labor day to everyone in the us

 

[ramblin rose]

OMG, that sounds awesome!!!! This is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[partygirl43]

*****, motherfooooooers, ***** !!!

as long as it has that little Edge solo, everything is fine

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Not without me being there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Swan269]

what an amazing day.....finally a "new" song that will be full band, not just bono and edge. (excusing glasto and stingray)

 

[ramblin rose]

So, anyone seen any info on possible streams for today?

If they play some of this soundchecked stuff tonight, can you say most downloaded bootleg ever!!! I don't think they're saving this stuff for AUS, bring it today or in the next week!!!!!!!!!!! What do they take out of the setlist though?

 

[prbiker15]

Going to eat, gates have opened in Istanbul. More history tonight!

 

[CTU2fan]

I hope everyone is prepared for the likely cocktease a la Drowning Man. It will be cool if they play it, but I'm not counting on it at all.

 

[nickoslo]

cool night

 

[ramblin rose]

cool night

YT = Youtube.

 

[last unicorn]

Can I just throw in that I want to hear North Star again?

Watch U2 play a 4 hour show tonight with a standard setlist of classics and a second one of new and rare stuff

 

[nickoslo]

hehe

 

[chrissybaby]

Probably be the same set as Moscow.

 

[ramblin rose]

3 hours to showtime.

Probably be the same set as Moscow.

That won't matter to the majority of the people going to the Istanbul show.

 

[Swan269]

What do they take out of the setlist though?

probably Pride

 

[Tommy WM]

Mercy & Mothers of the Disappeared...this shit is crazy

 

[nickoslo]

MOTD to replace Walk on?

 

[zoocarolina]

I hope everyone is prepared for the likely cocktease a la Drowning Man. It will be cool if they play it, but I'm not counting on it at all.

If they don't play it live sometime this year, that's ok. To me it's just renewed hope that it will be on an album someday.

 

[DRay9911]

MOTD to replace Walk on?

i'd buy that for a dollar

 

[digitize]

probably Pride

Getting rid of Pride for Mercy sounds like something we'd joke about. But it could actually happen.
