No desire for Desire?

[BANZAI]

Not that I'm a really big fan of the song Desire, but I've always liked it in some way (especially the Zoo TV version)...

That's why I want to know why NOBODY ever talks about how he/she misses this song on the Vertigo Tour (original, acoustic or snippet version).

I put "Desire" in my projected song list for the next tour.

Having said that, it was played at Lovetown, ZooTV, Popmart & Elevation so perhaps it was due a rest.

Basically on Popmart and Elevation they took one of their better attempts at doing straight-up rock and roll, and turned it into one of their better attempts at giving the audience a chance to take a piss.

And Macphisto doing Desire was just...bad.

So lest they do that again, I'd rather see them leave it out and put something better in it's place. If it were to come back Lovetown-style, I could totally see it taking Elevation's spot though.

Desire should have made a full electric turn on the Vertigo, it was played on Top Of The Pops back in 2004.

It along with others should have been played.

Lovetown "Desire" would have been great.

The last time they played a decent version of Desire was in Lovetown Tour so it´s ok if they won´t play that song for the 4th leg, they should go with Discotheque, Mofo, Acrobat, Dirty Day and One Tree Hill instead

The best Desire was on the Lovetown Tour, but most of all on Zoo Tv, Popmart and Elevation put this song under the ground. The only way I want to hear it again is with a full band rock performance

And it sounded great, prehaps the band just can't place it in the setlist for this tour.

If it meant we got Electric Co. instead - then good job!

I have no desire for Desire Please tell me I'm not the only one who is happy that they're not playing it anymore...

That's what I thought too

They're more concerned with thematic content and spot on the setlist than if it sounds really great

and I like that to an extent, but some people just want to hear the songs ya know?

I loved ZooTV version. Mirrorball Man, U2 dollars shooting out of cannons

The Lovetown version would have been great

The song needed to go away for a while. It will be back when it's ready. Next tour or the one after that.
