U2 rehearsals in Turin Part IV: The plot thickens...

[Fernando-]

Yes please. More magic the better.

How about some magic mushrooms?

 

[lauramullen]

We might have magic brownies.

 

[corianderstem]

So, uh ........

Is this what the setlist parties are like these days?

 

[digitize]

I think the experience of hearing 65,000 happy Chicagoans singing a verse of ISHWILF with me was pretty epic, personally.

*grabs zimmer frame and leaves*



Just kidding...

. . . if I didn't think I'd bust a hip I'd charge . . . . . . the yoof of today . . . no respect I tell ya

QFT!


I don't have time to watch Charlie. I'll be out of that loop

. . . save it baby . . . it's worth it . . . hilarity of the silliest kind

It's what happens when U2 lure everyone in with rehearsals and then stop rehearsing.

 

[SBU2]

Seeing Beautiful Day rehearsed again kind of hints that it might open, afterall its been played every single show since Elevation so its not like it needs rehearsing again and again. Maybe routine who knows.

Unicorns are real, they're just ugly, grey, and we call them rhinos.

 

[corianderstem]

I was just wondering if it would be 10 pages of brownies and drink pictures, and maybe one post about what U2 is actually playing during the actual concerts.

If it is, I might just have to wait and read the report later.

Sorry, y'all.

/massive party pooper, not like she'd be missed

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

Now Gone, U2. Come on. You can do it!

 

[Galeongirl]

U2place - I testi delle due nuove canzoni provate ieri a Torino! - Le notizie in italiano sugli U2

They figured out a bit of the lyrics AND assume the slow song is For Your Love/ NORTH STAR. Interesting..

 

[theedgeu2]

How about some magic mushrooms?

That's what I'm putting in the brownies

Since the 60's man...

 

[lauramullen]

There were some Mofo videos posted.

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

magic mushrooms still in effect?

 

[Jim]

Amen. U2 could blow stadiums up if they wanted to.

Now you got me really fired up when I was standing in the stadium hearing Stuck, IALW, Your Blue Room, and Walk On

There needs to be an ebb and flow though.. otherwise the audience will blow their load in the first 30 mins. That's where songs like RTSS, Miss S, Sometimes, One etc come in and U2 are uniquely good at that, in a way that only really works when you are there I find (i.e. not on DVD). And a big singalong early (like Angel Of Harlem in Dublin last year) is always a winner.. but I'm with you big and bold outdoors is best... It's almost a shame they did Zoo Station / Fly on the last tour that could be pretty twisted in 360.

Oh and ditch Walk On and I'll be v v happy.

It was but hearing "Stuck" right after it just killed the mood.

 

[romi]

I did not see any Mofo videos

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

There were some Mofo videos posted.

I must be in a paralel universe... Really?

 

[Lila64]

Just watched it Purple

 

[Galeongirl]

Not from this tour. From 1997.

 

[lauramullen]

I must be in a paralel universe... Really?

They were from the Popmart Tour.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

OMFG.. i finally caught up the thread.. sheesh.. that was brutal..

 

[trojanchick99]

I did not see any Mofo videos

I must be in a paralel universe... Really?

See page 51. SexyBootsU2 questioned the greatness that is Mofo. Videos were posted to illustrate. It was awesome.

 

[corianderstem]

Please tell me there's somewhere I can easily find a running setlist on Friday, rather than scrolling past 6500 pictures of brownies every five minutes.

 

[Fernando-]

That's what I'm putting in the brownies

Do you need some more?

Oaxaca is a few hours away from here, that means: fresh mushrooms = the trip of a lifetime.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

1. Beautiful Day
2. In A Little While
3. Crazy Tonight/DISCOTHEQUE
4. Miss Sarajevo
5. Until The End Of The World
6. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

They rehearsed HMTMKMKM again, so it's looking good for the show. They also rehearsed Crazy Tonight with Discotheque. No word on how much Discotheque. Also rehearsed Miss Sarajevo, BD, and UTEOTW.

Thanks. I'm not very knowledgeable at all about U2's tour rehearsal patterns, but doesn't that seem like a very low amount of songs to be running through? Or do they usually just do a handful of songs every day?

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

Not from this tour. From 1997.

U2 came from a paralel Universe in 1997?!


I'm lost

 

[romi]

Mofo is awesome live!

 

[ouu2fan23]

Are they done for the day?
