At this point, most likely.

I think Pride on Vertigo sounded the best it has since the mid-1980s, but that's mostly in terms of Edge getting the guitar tone right and Bono decently delivering the verses. He's just gone on the chorus. I feel like he should at least sing it with Edge.

Or, you know, just ditch the song from the set. Your casual fan is going to cheer wildly whether U2 plays Pride or Desire or New Year's Day or EBTTRT or AIWIY in that setlist spot.

 

[Axver]

Another good do-do-doo sort of song is Dream Theater's Pull Me Under. The intro is awesome for that.

 

[Varitek]

i sound better than dylan and worse than bono i think

 

[Varitek]

though bono seriously butchers the lyrics on this one, in very subtle ways


I would die for NYD instead of Pride or SBS or Bullet. I would take it 3 times for all of those

I second this entirely. NYD still sounds good live.

 

[Varitek]

i never got it in 6 shows

 

[Axver]

You were the one who didn't come to 28/05/05.

More salt for that wound?

 

[phanan]

yeah but im competing against the aforementioned 3-21-85 perfect bono

the edge's solo is a good doodo do doo here too

You might be in trouble then.

I FUCKING HATE MYSELF FOR THAT

 

[Varitek]

well i got to the end of gloria and rather than listen to 40, i'm not done getting it out

so i went back to asoh. i might do wire/uf again too, and 11ott

 

[Axver]

I was at that show.

I was inside the ellipse at that show.

Still can't decide if that or 26/05/05 is the best overall U2 show I've seen. Obviously, OTH at the two Auckland gigs are my top U2 live moments, but for overall shows, those two Boston gigs are easily the top two.

 

[Varitek]

while i would add it to my lineup, i wouldn't trade it for 12/4/TRIPLEMOTHERFUCKINGENCORE

 

[LMP]

Hey Fellas.

AP American History Tests ftl.

 

[Varitek]

I have almost screamed myself tired enough to go to sleep.

if you want to feel better, go back a few pages to where i talk about how i have academically tied the noose and stepped into it, 3 weeks before my college graduation

I was off to the side of the stage. Great view.

That encore was insane. The Fly->Until The End Of The World->Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses in full band mode...

Awesome.

 

[Varitek]

I have almost screamed myself tired enough to go to sleep.

i am gonna lalalalalallalalalalala the rest of it out

11ott

also good for the dooo doo doo

i fucking love edge

 

[phanan]

I was at that one, too.

[Varitek]

I was at that one, too.

i was on stage for that One (pun intended), and the rest of the time dead center in the 1.5th row (only two shoulders between me and bono's mic stand

 

[Varitek]

i didn't buy tickets to 5/28 because on 5/29 i was flying to africa for 2.5 months and i thought i'd be too busy

as soon as i saw my first show ever (5/14) i regretted it but it was really too late

 

[Axver]

I was at that one, too.

Bah, both of you suck.

But then again ...

ONE TREE HILL
With the real One Tree Hill visible behind the stage

Oh fuck yeah.

 

[Varitek]

turns out CALL OUT CALL OUT CALL OUT is more therapeutic than LALALLALALALLALA

Oh, you were part of that whole parade of flags thing?

Yeah, considering you got One Tree Hill, I think we're even.

 

[Varitek]

Oh, you were part of that whole parade of flags thing?

not one of the ppl who brought the flags (i believe they were rich british plebans) but bono pointed at me a few times and up i fucking went, security guard protesting there were too many people on stage be damned

 

[Axver]

Maybe, but I'm about to fall asleep here so I don't recall what you're referring to.

I'm about to go, actually. Far too fucking late, at least for me.
