San Jose I Setlist Watch and Thread Party. Pt 2 (No spoilers or U2.com setlist posts)

[CTU2fan]

...scares the living shit outta me but im happy....

Me too...I was totally shocked to find out...by the time she came though I was 99% excited, only 1% scared

 

[discothequeLP]

the song One just started

 

[VintagePunk]

Question: what would you prefer, varied sets or Bono actually knowing all the words?

For me, the choice is easy: varied sets.

Varied, all the way. Him screwing up the words is funny and endearing.

 

[MrBrau1]

I am returned.

Looks like they played the Ocean again. Cool, but to be honest, I had expected another song off of Boy.

They don't deserve much credit for The Ocean. It's a 1:35 long, and there is almost nothing to it. People have overstated the "Wow" factor.

 

[stagman]

2nd night San Jose would be the big shake up you'd expect!
No suprise they played a standard set...hell first night every city should be the same so the casual music fan has a chance to hear U2 at their best with a good setlist...2nd or 3rd night shows are always gonna be the fun nights with golden oldies mixed with the occasional suprise for us hardcore fans..... makes sense does'nt it?!

 

[Lila64]

Could a "Biko" cover be far away?

Gabriel doesn't even play it live anymore!

 

[CTU2fan]

He screws up the words anyway...gimme vaired sets

 

[u2warlp]

Me too...I was totally shocked to find out...by the time she came though I was 99% excited, only 1% scared

Question: what would you prefer, varied sets or Bono actually knowing all the words?

For me, the choice is easy: varied sets.

Varied setlists for sure. Bono can be quite creative when he forgets lyrics. It makes it more interesting for sure.

 

[discothequeLP]

wow. . . nuke is a terrible singer!

 

[CTU2fan]

Gabriel doesn't even play it live anymore!

No, and that's too bad...very strong track, was a nice surprise for me when I got the San Francisco Conspiracy of Hope dvd, I thought it was only the U2 set.

 

[MrBrau1]

Which words will he be screwing up? If they played Bad, and he forgot the ending chorus and made some shit up, it would suck.

 

[Lila64]

just got here myself, was reading the threads to catch up. Something about knowing there's a concert going on and you're not there, but you have to know what's happening and what you are missing. I caught Anaheim 2 and LA 1 + 2. No screen came down for MW on A2, just the first night....

 

[RademR]

They don't deserve much credit for The Ocean. It's a 1:35 long, and there is almost nothing to it. People have overstated the "Wow" factor.

got to agree with mrbrau. It's basically a snippet.

I was surprised they did the exact same songs for both nights in LA, you can kind of call it a "big stop" on the tour. Thing is, songs like I Will Follow, UTEOTW, Bad, they can do those in their sleep, why not just put them in on the second night??

(again, not complaining, just a question I've been thinking about today)

 

[u2warlp]

wow. . . nuke is a terrible singer!

hes actually singing?! thats too funny, went to a u2 show with him in san diego but didnt witness him singing cause i was underneath adams crotch

 

[trish0860]

Jeez man, I gotta hear THAT story...

I don't even wanna know.

 

[Lila64]

RademR - they thru in some other snippets on LA2, and The Ocean (leaving out some other 'Boy' material)... And they changed the set order from Anaheim 2 (I didn't make A1)

 

[u2warlp]

i was front row for opening night, but on adams side...thats all, u people are sick geeeez

 

[discothequeLP]

after One its a short break and. . . (axver is right again!) All Beacuse of You. . .

 

[MrBrau1]

They must really be questioning themselves right now. I'd imagine the band confidence is very low, which is why they're not trying different tunes (They really could play IWF and UTEOTW and ISHF with little effort.)

The Ocean shouldn't count as a song, it's WAY to short. If they pat themselves on the back after playing that, they need to give me a call. I can give them some ideas. 1:35? BS.

 

[u2warlp]

san diego 2 only lucky ones to hear gloria!!!!! good thing i was there :-D

 

[U2DMfan]

so besides An Cat Dubh for The Ocean this is the 4th consecutive show with this setlist?

Just asking here, that's sort of what I gather.

 

[Lila64]

can I ask for Two Hearts Beat As One? I was playing it all day yesterday. Refugee too....
