Vancouver #1 setlist party (part 2)

I'd do it the other way around...RBW with the piano outtro into NYD.

Yup, better.

Either way would be great.

Doesn't hurt for me that RBW is my favorite song on the album.

In all honesty it seemed to me the best spot in GA would be the corner where the catwalk meets the e stage. the band spent a lot of time on the e stage and for much of the show not a lot was happening on the main stage. The catwalk was used constantly by all members including Larry.

This basically tells you everything, pretty self explanatory. anything not labeled square is off the main stage.

Hmm. Bit contradictory that. If you go by that paper the majority of the stuff seems to be happening on the main stage and runway with about 7 songs on the round stage. But I guess when they say runway, it could mean them hanging around on the runway closer to the second stage.

So it was a bit messy bit what U2 opener isn't.

I'm not as much disappointed with what they played as much as what they didn't play.

Reach Me Now
Crystal Ballroom
Volcano(yes, I like the song, deal with it)

I thought the song selection was solid.

Older tunes were cool
Streets
W/W you
Still Haven't Found
EBTTRT
IWF
Out of Control
Pride
UTEOTW

I think Sunday Bloody Sunday was awful. It's a fist pounding song that was castrated into mediocrity.

The Miracle as the opener is weak because you need to pump up the crowd and that isn't going to do it (Reach me now!!!)

Stage looks killer.

Bono on top of the stage was cool.
Edge trying to go underneath the stage was interesting (too soon?)

Reach would be a kick ass opener. Especially as it's supposed to be about them seeing The Clash and that whole punk rock concert experience.

Adam's bass lines in Reach + new sound system? We could have something more epic than the vibrations of DYFL.

Just getting a jump on tonight as I couldn't stay up for most of the show yesterday. Who had the best feed last night? Thanks!

The Periscope streams were very good.

Cool, wondering if there was a particular user that stood out.

I believe his name was Derek. Forgot the handle though...I followed the links from the thread and from twitter.

Now that you mention it, the last piano note of RBW could easily lead into the opening piano riff of NYD. NYD starts a fifth down, so Edge could easily play the last note of RBW as an open chord with the fifth down and then continue along with Adam with the opening riff to NYD.

What do you think you like know all about pianos and stuff?

[cobl04]

Anyone know if they've ever played the full version of New Years Day?

 

[last unicorn]

Sorry to ask, but where the hell is the setlist thread for show number 2?

 

[prbiker15]

In the tour forum archive. It passed 1,000 posts.

 

[last unicorn]

Oh, thanks. I found it strange that there's still an active setlist thread for Night 1 but not for the more recent show.

I don't think so, and it's a disappointment because I find the last section to be powerful lyrically.

they only played the original version in the pre war tour in 1982 and stopped doing it during the war tour for some reason..maybe too difficult to song for bono
