Songs That Need A Rest This Tour

[Rob33]

In A Little While needs to be retired permanently if they plan on playing it like they did on 360. If, however, they can play it like this, I have no problems..

U2 In A Little While Barcelona 2001 Elevation Tour - YouTube

The epic Barcelona crowd has something to do with it, but shit....this blows the 360 performances out of the water...not even close. I think Bono in particular just wasn't feeling it like this on the 360 Tour.

 

[Blue Room]

Are there audios of these jams out there available? Never heard of these...

Not that I'm aware of. People reported what was being rehearsed/played back then. I saved the reports on a document and I still happened to have it on my hard drive. I just thought it was interesting in the context of the UTEOTW discussion.

Clearly the band think so as well. Although I was at the Chicago May 13th 2001 Elevation show where it was dropped and I can honestly say I did not miss it.

This reminded me of the Elevation tour rehearsals. They tinkered with using it as the opening.

Found this in my archives after thinking about the above. Thought you might find it interesting in relationship to this thread. I think it is interesting how the setlist evolves with a week to go.

Oooohhh, I'd love to listen to it someday
Thanks for re-releasing that info (again).

We need stand up get up by itself and I'm gonna make it to come back.

 

[Blue Room]

I think it is interesting how many songs they worked on that did not show up in the tour until several weeks/months later. IE Still Havent Found, Kite, All I Want Is You, 11 O’Clock Tick Tock.
