Manchester 1 Setlist Party Part 1

[DPrinceNY]

sorry if this has already been addressed. What time do the European shows start? I know that the NA shows started at around 8pm and the band came in at 9 or so.

 

[Leetah]

it means you are probably a Coldplay fan as well

well...No.

 

[VertigoGal]

yeah, why can't they just do Please-->Streets instead of Pride-->Streets? seems like that would work much better and it wouldn't screw up their setlist that much...

 

[kellyahern]

It's getting PITNOLIC.....

SBS is one of my favorite U2 song ever. They could play that forever and I'd still love it

 

[U2Man]

They ARE playing it forever....

 

[bridonohue]

i might be proven wrong in 20 minutes, but i think they will play crumbs at Live 8, and that's it. no other time on the tour.

Nope they won't play Crumbs on Live 8, unless they have played it a few times on the tour - too dangerous

 

[AtomicBono]

Hmmmm...amazingly enough, work & a setlist party don't mix well

I'd like to hear Crumbs but wouldn't lose any sleep if it wasn't played.

Any chance Bad closes this show??

Bad = best closing song ever IMHO

I've never seen Bad close, but apparently when it did close the audience sang 40 at the end, sounds pretty blissful to me... probably the best part of my whole U2 show was singing 40 after the band had already left (I know, that sounds weird, but you have to experience it to understand). And seeing/hearing the best version of Bad ever

Alas, they will probably close with Vertigo, and we'll have approximately 396.67 new "Vertigo x 2 SUCKS" threads.

 

[sami0201]

hey guys I'm back!! What's the setlist so far?

 

[AtomicBono]

yeah, why can't they just do Please-->Streets instead of Pride-->Streets? seems like that would work much better and it wouldn't screw up their setlist that much...

Please--->Streets... That was probably the greatest thing ever. Oh god, if they brought that back...

if they soundchecked it and rehearsed it they might.

A setlist without Pride???

Pride

 

[kellyahern]

Good

Seriously, with all that's going on in the world right now, it's more relevant to me personally. I remember singing along to it at Boston 3 and feeling really angry about the direction the US has been going, the war, etc.


But that's just me, don't want to turn this into FYM at all Just a personal opinion, please don't flame

 

[sami0201]

Thanks Aardvark!

[Padam]

Been to first two European Shows an and Vertigo twice didn't suck at all. They start in the light, so COBl or LAPOE as an opener would be wasted. And they have to start with a "bomb"-song, I think. Yahweh wouldn't work.

Would be worse if they played Bullet twice.

 

[AtomicBono]

A setlist without Pride???

Pride

They could put Pride after Streets, which is where it was traditionally placed anyway. I guess then they'd have to sacrifice a song from the encore (or not play One, but that's unlikely, and it would suck, cuz One is my favourite song ever) but anything for Please...

 

[U2Man]

Then I guess you also like them playing Bullet the Blue Sky now?

 

[ramblin rose]

If I leave work now I can miss BTBS, RTSS, PITNOL, WTSHNN & One and be home just in time for the encores.

I just love Pride though, holds a soft spot in my heart.

they could open with ABOY to avoid the vertigo twice thing

 

[VintagePunk]

Back...and I've missed almost a whole damn thread.

 

[L03VIk]

I have never been a Bullet fan, but after this tour I have changed my mind... The two snippets and Edge's mad solo is really great!

 

[zoopop]

New material goes pretty well with the crowd, playing 4 new songs in a row:

City Of Blinding Lights
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love & Peace Or Else

I was at Boston 2. Bad was incredible and the crowd was singing 40 at top volume for a couple of minutes after they left the stage. One of my top U2 live moments of all time...

 

[U2Girl1978]

Awwww I Will Follow was one of the songs I really wanted to hear in Boston.
