Let me be the first to rant...
woooo crumbs!!!!!
where is popmuzik/discoteque...??

 

[U2areGods2005]

also take note that they were going to end it with Yahweh..... Larry was already down below when bono and edge yelled down to pull him back up... edge and adam switched places and bono went running back and forth and switched it to vertigo for the second time. The crowd was WILD tonight and a couple times Bono said "WOW" so I think he wanted to end it on a fast song.. not "40"

also great hearing the new stripped down First Time'

great show

 

[AtomicBono]

I love how they premiered Crumbs in a random city like MINNEAPOLIS. you all thought it'd debut in New York or Boston, didn't you? Well, U2 is so fucking awesome that they picked Minneapolis instead. rock the fuck on, U2 loves the heartland.

Apparently Bono wasn't so keen on the Pop Muzik intro, which is why it wasn't used at Chicago I when they did Discotheque.

the pop muzik intro was so tight though perhaps they'll change it to Pop Muzik/Mofo/Discotheque, and then The Fly or WOWY or whatever

Hmmm... where'd you hear that?

 

[Numb1075]

hip hip hooray

 

[KUEFC09U2]

the chigago intro to discoteque had a very haunting quality to it, kinda sounded like the into the MLK, then bang right into discoteque, it will show up again, it seems like this is the part of the show were U2 are going to rotate around like mad

and my oh my crumbs sounds amazing

 

[U2Man]

and my oh my crumbs sounds amazing

You see, KUEF, zwervers2 and I were right

 

[U2FanPeter]

It shocks me that I would even consider liking a setlist with only 2 AB songs.

But I do.

u2fp

 

[theu2fly]

Crumbs was such a shock, it was amazing... I couldn't believe they were playing it...

As soon as the intro began I screamed "OH MY GOD, CRUMBS!!!" And went nuts... I sang along with it, it was great to hear it -- Bono couldn't hit the high notes though.

Best setlist of the tour so far, IMO.

 

[Axver]

By the way, has anyone noticed the set in the original post has Yahweh twice? It was NOT played in the main set, just the second encore.

Hmmm... where'd you hear that?

Someone posted it on the setlist party, I think. I forget who said it but whoever they were, I know it was someone I consider reliable.

 

[longingforBono]

It was an incredible show. I like Vertigo plenty but I sorta wish they had ended with Fast Cars instead. That would have still kept the momentum going that we all had been building all night.

And yes U2 loves Minneapolis audiences. At one point Bono said "What an Amazing Night" as he scanned the arena and they played and played. E1 I talked to was thrilled with the concert- a few minor sound issues was the only unperfect thing.

I am going to try to post some pictures since I ended up with so many good ones. I even have one of Bono looking right at me after I SCREAMED at him. (Yeah baby, who's your mommy?)

 

[lazarus]

I wish they would recognize the strength of these new songs, and get rid of a couple more oldies. It sucks that NO ONE on this tour is going to hear OOTS, Crumbs, and Fast Cars at the same show. Instead, you'll get to hear them sleepwalk through WOWY another time. Funny how the beginning of the tour was fine without it.

The question I have now is, are all the subsequent perfs of Wild Horses going to be acoustic? because that would suck. That Amsterdam bootleg has Edge tearing out this crazy and beautiful solo that is miles beyond what I've heard before with this song.

 

[anitram]

OK am I misreading that or are they playing Vertigo and Yahweh twice? Really?

 

[kariatari]

Yaweh only once.

And holy SHITE Crumbs was awesome!! Bono forgot a bunch of the words though. LoL!

 

[LMP]

OK am I misreading that or are they playing Vertigo and Yahweh twice? Really?

No, just a typo, Yahweh was only played in the 2nd Encore




but Vertigo WAS played twice...

 

[kariatari]

I pretty much had my heart set on hearing "40" as a closer before I even set foot in the arena, but I wasn't disappointed in the least when they played "Vertigo" again. Watching Bono scramble to get the boys assembled to play a scorching impromptu version of "Vertigo" kicked up the already impossibly high energy level radiating in that building to another unimaginable level and left me with an absolutely UNBELIEVEABLE high. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

 

[PhoenixGNX]

I really dont see the big deal of Crumbs . Its a decent tune at best, but nothing to write home about.

 

[AtomicBono]

OK am I misreading that or are they playing Vertigo and Yahweh twice? Really?

what if U2 keeps playing more and more songs twice, and eventually the sets are just 11 songs played twice each?

 

[longingforBono]

^^^^
I'll still go as long as I am as close to Bono as I was friday night.

 

[Bono's Betty]

The show was amazing. But I could have gone without vertigo twice, but I did like to watch Bono run around and get everyone in place.

 

[PearlJamYield]

Crumbs was awesome! My friend (a HUGE fan) said he didn't think they'd play it when I asked if they would. We went crazy when they played it! I love the opening riffs! Wow!

[WalkOn21]

So... what will be the name of this show?

Crumbs from Minnesota?

 

[bigloader]

huh

Crumbs was played, great. But why the fuck would they play Yahweh and Vertigo twice? If I'm at a concert, I don't want to hear repeats of the same songs on the same nights. I think that this is kind of ridiculous.

 

[ramblin rose]

They didn't play Yahweh twice (that's just a typo on the setlist posted in this thread).

They did play Vertigo x2 though. I think it was a celebratory Vertigo to celebrate a great show.

 

[Mynthor]

I do agree with bigloader...U2 has so many good songs to play that it would be better if they didn't repeat the same song twice at a show. More, the Vertigo song isnt THAT great, I even find it o normal song since it was so commercialized on radio...

...yeah yeah....I already hear you Vertigo-Radio fans but put this in your mouth: songs are a lot better when you can appreciate it by yourself instead of being brainwashed by the radio that plays it over and over...

 

[dismantleme]

Crumbs finally
