U2 rehearsals in Torino part VI: Full aug 3 update + aug 4 as it happens

[KUEFC09U2]

Wow, today's rehearsal gives me hope again. Honestly if they could do UF, MOS, UV, HMTMKMKM, and CT with an extended Discotheque thing going on in one show, I could actually stomach IALW, Elevation and WOWY without too much complaint.

You really lost hope? thats not like you ramblin.

 

[BluRmGrl]

Red X of Death.

Nah, I'm just being negative. Don't worry. I'm actually counting the days until I can hear IALW, Elevation and WOWY again.

Actually I'm bitter that I'm not in Turin right now counting the hours until tomorrow night when I could hear IALW, Elevation and WOWY again.

UV's return is rather interesting, as I thought they'd regarded Bono's microphone acrobatics too much risk to his back, hence why we were getting Hold Me, Thrill Me.

 

[domo-kun]

Yes, ofcourse HMTMKMKM is a song that makes bono very calm

And you really think Bono wouldnt try some kind of mad movement during HMTMKMKM, lol

 

[KUEFC09U2]

She isn't lying, get out .........

 

[lauramullen]

I don't think Bono will be swinging around on that mic anytime soon.

[BonosLil'Pal94]

Just popping in....

I like what I'm reading the past few pages!


Ok goodbye now

[mskitkat]

Bye everyone till tomorrow

Well it is a much slower song than Ultraviolet, and the swinging around on the mic probably contributed to his back problems.

I just cant think of any other reason why they would drop (imo) the stand out song of the tour from the setlist.

 

[corianderstem]

You know, it is possible that he could do UV just fine without actually swinging from the mic. It's not like he was doing his monkey act the entire time during the song on the previous legs.

back, this time from work

Yeah, but I was really looking forward to seeing him do that Rose Bowl UV dance again.

Yeah, but would it really be the same without all the theatrics? It just added a whole other dimension to the song I thought.

 

[corianderstem]

He can move around enough to make the jacket throw the lights around, and he can toss that wheel mic around as well. ... and then duck as it shoots by his head on the back-swing.

 

[romi]

so.... what's this I'm hearing about more than a snippet of Discotheque?

No audio evidence yet, but multiple reports that it's extended up to 2 verses including the riff. No word on the Boom Cha's.

One more day and we'll know for sure

cool, thanks

 

[lauramullen]

For his sake I hope he doesn't.

 

[mskitkat]

considering that he is up and walking un-aided from the looks of things, he is doing a lot better than i would have thought he would be at this point in his recovery, when i had back surgery i was still on a walker and a cane 3 and a half months post surgery, he had some miracle workers working for him but im very glad he seems to be doing so well

 

[u2shamrock]

*dies happily*

Hold Me->Ultraviolet->WOWY->MOS is perfect.

I'm not one to complain about what they're playing because obviously it won't make a difference, but I was disappointed they weren't rehearsing UV. It's my favorite song, and I love that they brought it back. I really hope they do add/keep it in the encore.

 

[Utoo]

Dude, I love being a U2 fan.
