Happy Xmas (War Is Over), Norwegian Wood, Help and Instant Karma!

That's 4 Beatles related songs in one concert. Does anyone (Axver? ) know if this is the largest number of Beatles songs U2 have ever gone into during a show?

 

[Dusty Bottoms]

They should have played Helter Skelter.

 

[Axver]

Considering only Norwegian Wood and Instant Karma were really played properly, this is on the level with JT Tour sets with Help and Helter Skelter.

 

[Pero]

Ax, you're boring. At least without you i could live in ignorance and force myself to found the answer. But in the same time thanks because i can now play games more.

 

[Dusty Bottoms]

Ax, you're boring.

I agree.

 

[Axver]

I agree.

Tip Top Prince, is that you?

 

[Niceman]

Well, snippets ARE worth something...have we ever had two full songs PLUS two snippets?

Have we ever had three songs?

 

[joerags]

Add Running to Stand Still.

Hm. Depends what was snippeted during Bad, really. If you get Norwegian Wood and another Beatles snippet, then there's an equal set, but I'm too lazy to look up and see if that's happened, heh.

Add Running to Stand Still.

Instant Karma is not really a Beatles song.

Considering only Norwegian Wood and Instant Karma were really played properly, this is on the level with JT Tour sets with Help and Helter Skelter.

Was Norwegian Wood played entirely like Instant Karma?

Was Norwegian Wood played entirely like Instant Karma?

I believe Bono played and sung the majority of it solo. Not quite sure if he sung every single line, but it sounds pretty much like how he did songs such as So Cruel or AIWIY on the third leg of ZooTV from what I've read.

 

[U2Man]

Are you guys sure that Edge wasn't playing on NW, too, because I just downloaded it, and it sounds like there are two guitars....?

 

[Axver]

The reports from people there were that Bono played it solo with just a single spotlight on him ...

Sweet. Can't wait to listen to it!
