LA #5 Setlist Party

[Hallucination]

Closing with California now would be incredible! It's such an obviously great thing to do that it hurts to think they won't do it.

Kevin from Kroq is at the show tonight.

Bad to close?

 

[nitebusnitebus]

this is just such a sour way to close a show

come on throw 40 in there for us at home

 

[digitize]

they will play it 6 times in new york

Nah, they'll probably play California at every show in New York.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

AND that crowd reaction is why One should be played far more often than not. We as hardcores might be a bit tired of it but the world isn't so....

I like this ragged, singalong version. It's sparse without the backing string track and without the second guitar, so it feels fresh.

This.

 

[LemonMelon]

Can't believe they're still only playing a three song encore.

It sounds great, but Bono's just singing less and less each time they play it.

 

[kabigon]

Imagine if Stuck closed the show

 

[Axver]

California will become a staple of the European leg.

Invisible snippet.

Question: Bono sang "No Them, Only Us" at the end of One roughly ten years before Invisible came out. Do those performances count as snippets of Invisible?

 

[Hallucination]

One has been terrible since ZooTV and I don't even like the album version. I've just never understood the hype for it.

Do you even like U2?

 

[bobsaget77]

Do you even like U2?

Yeah. One is just a horribly overrated song.

[clerks]

I made mistake of picking ONE for prom song and years later Bono/Edge made fun of kids who did that as it's a depressing song...

 

[david]

Because she is dying.

Awww, Sil. Don't cry. And thank yoooooou!

One wasn't THAT bad!

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Yeah. One is just a horribly overrated song.

Go watch FTSD. One was born out of pure frustration. (While they attempted work on MW, no less.) The very fact that they sing about love and carrying each other while in the middle of absolute hell? THAT is why the song is so well loved.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

just for fun and I really do feel this way and am not intentionally trolling with my opinion

I'd take the Troubles live over One any fucking day of the week

eat that

She's going to have serious withdrawals until NYC.

 

[corianderstem]

I love when people say they don't like a song, and someone argues with them with "You just don't understand the song, maaaaaaan!"

It's okay to not like a U2 song as much as everyone else, you guys.

And it's okay to love a U2 song a lot more than everyone else.

G'night from Seattle.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

And now it is def time for bed. Two whole days off until Denver!

I agree with you, comparing this tour's versions of both songs. But I would take One performed at its full potential over The Troubles and almost anything else.

 

[clerks]

One kept the band from breaking up... that alone should make you worship it... Kneel before, One!
