Istanbul Setlist Party # 1

[mama cass]

OK guys WHAT THE EFF IS GOING ON???????

MOTD? MERCY??? Have they lost their mind?

let's hope so!!!

 

[JoRu]

MOTD?!

Mercy??!!

Shit, I chose the right day to go setlist partying.

 

[Galeongirl]

ARGH. Have to help prepare dinner and then probably eat it. I'll be back, hopefully within 45 minutes

 

[CTU2fan]

Well, look at Drowning Man last year. I don't think it's a long shot to say it won't get played, with their track record.

Please don't remind me. If they do play Mercy does it make me small-minded and petty if I continue to bitch about no DM? Because it's very possible...hell I kept whining after they gave us Electrical Storm and YBR...

Here we go, fellas:

just moving this up in the thread

 

[DRay9911]

Yeah, these foreigners with their weird spellings? What next, not being able to spell colour?

favourite wants some of that action

 

[trojanchick99]

And now it's raining.

 

[lauramullen]

What time is the show supposed to start?

 

[Aygo]

Clearly not Bono. Nice that it's apparently at least somewhat full band and not the little half-assed Bono-Edge Popmart version. The beauty of MotD is Larry's drumming, the JT tour versions were excellent.

Hmm I think I'll go play one now...

I have the opposite opinion. The Popmart versions are so subtle. I usually don't like Bono/The Edge duo versions, but I the Popmart stripped version give me chills.
I want to hear this new version, and although I didn't dislike it, it didn't amaze me this clip.

I'll promise not to smack you too hard.

 

[DRay9911]

From u2gigs's twitter:
It just started to rain here. #u2 #u2360 #u2360istanbul U2gigs.com photos ? Twitter

RAIN? AND POSSIBLY MERCY?

Why oh why did I agree to go shopping with my sister today?!?!?!

 

[DRay9911]

i guess i'm going to get absolutely nothing done today.

it's labor day so i should rest myself, but i'm going to feel like a lazy ass in the process.

Thanks. I thought it was around 2pm Eastern time.

 

[pepokiss]

lol. in russia. commenters bitch about the setlist too.

no, in Russia, the setlist complains about the commenters

 

[Steved1998]

Holy shit they're rehearsing Mercy?

Or the highly appropriate Labour Day. Of course the rest of the world spells that May Day I suppose.

I have the opposite opinion. The Popmart versions are so subtle. I usually don't like Bono/The Edge duo versions, but I the Popmart stripped version give me chills.

I mean, I like the Popmart versions OK...I just really like Larry's work on the full band version.

 

[pepokiss]

Maybe i'm out of the track, but playing MOTD could be U2's tribute for the trapped minors in Chile.

(if so, a little late, may I say)

[DRay9911]

i have been reading many stories about the miners. how close are you to where they are trapped?

it is an incredible story. i hope they are rescued soon

 

[lauramullen]

If they want to pay tribute to the miners I'd go with this...

The advantages of being injured. I have the perfect excuse to be completely lazy today!

When the rain comes. . . Rain in Istanbul. Always seems to make for a good show

 

[angel_28]

Happy Labour day everyone in the US and Canada!!

No worries. There's a sweet audio recording of it, Chicago '87, they played it a few times on the JT tour.

 

[cleazer]

Finally, my first setlist party of the year!

 

[cleazer]

Holy crap, what's this I see about Mercy on U2gigs?

Apparently I've been out of the loop for way too long!
