The Electric Co should be dropped...

[rantor49]

Until this tour, the last time I heard them play Electric Co. Live, was in 1983 on the War tour. Damn, I'm getting old. But that song still kicks major ass

 

[pub crawler]

hehe, I've posted it before but it bears repeating...

Electric Co. absolutely FLOORED me at the pre-tour L.A. rehearsal. I couldn't believe how great it sounded. The rehearsal version was even tighter than the San Diego I version.

U2 really capture a lot of energy with this song and, like others have said here, it's definitely one of the best performances of this tour.

 

[chrissybaby]

in a world where we have to liten to everyone's opinion and can rarely state FACT, this has to be the exception! It is surely FACT that Electric Co. is easily one of the best U2 live moments on this tour. Oh, and i completely agree with whoever said that U2 always seem to rotate their best stuff!!!! Weird buggers.

Posted in the wrong thread. Nevermind.

 

[allbecauseofme]

i would have definetly rather seen the elctric co. last night then mysterious ways

 

[Mauwer]

Drop the Electric Co???????? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!
It`s one of the highlights , maybe THE highlight of the tour.
I think it`s the best song this tour!!!!

I`ve said it many times before : no way should Electric Co make way for another song at a show.
It SHOULD get played every night!!!!!

Now about ACD\ITH , I would like to see it return.
Why don`t they swap it with ISHFWILF , that one has grown tired.
And it`s a good spot for ACD\ITH in the set too.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

I agree with you Mauwer. Most people have never seen my play ACD/ITH before, including myself. I would much rather hear it than a tired version of ISHFWILF.

The return of Electric Co. is the best thing about this tour.

 

[edge_2125]

The return of Electric Co. is the best thing about this tour.

It definitely is.

You better believe I'm going to unleash my killer bees

ELECTRIC CO is the best highlight of this tour, its amazing.

It was cool to see "an cat dubh" a few times, but it got old real quick and I wish they didnt play it every night on the first leg. It was alright, but i hated "into the heart". Bono would lay down for like 2 minutes, then bring up a child every night....cheesy.

Good! That's just punishment!

It wasn't even played at half of the first leg gigs ...

I've only just seen this thread and I'm speechless.

Drop The Electric Co?????

No way!!!!

Bring back more early stuff I say!!!!!

 

[bono_man2002]

I must say, while I am enjoying I Will Follow and those other songs, I do miss a little bit of An Cat Dubh and Into The Heart from the first leg.

 

[typhoon]

"An Cat Dubh" was awesome. Who cares if the casual fans don't get it? It's just one song, and the casual fans will always have tired versions of "Pride" and "With or Without You." Indulge the hardcore fans a little.

The return of "Gloria" was even cooler than the return of "The Electric Co." (although "The Electric Co." makes a better staple since they can mix it up a little with the snippets).

I could live without "The Ocean" and "Into the Heart," though.

 

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

I can honestly say that I didn't particularly like An Cat Dubh . . . until I saw it live. Then it suddenly "clicked" for me

 

[God Part III]

The Electric Co. is the best song in the set.

I said it. The greatest achievement of this tour is adding The Electric Co., and making it sound better than it once did. It's the best song from Boy, and it DOES get the crowd rocking.

I think it's a shame that it isn't a regular anylonger.

 

[txbonoman]

No way, Elec Co was a highlight of the night in Dallas. The Edge went off on his solo and some say it was one of the best if not the best versions of Elec Co. I enjoyed every min of it.

 

[Blue Room]

I think its safe to say judging by this thread that the large majority disagree with TheU2Fly on this one.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

ELECTRIC CO has been the best song of the Tour with ZOO STATION and THE FLY!!!!!

How can a U2 fan want to cut off this song?????

 

[EPandAmerica]

Electric Co is the new Streets for me!

 

[Mauwer]

It got played again finally last night at the 8 NY show after it got dropped the last shows.

It should stay IN the set

Cheers ,

Mauwer

p.s. Electric Co blows away quite a few U2 classics this year

 

[broken toy]

Drop The Co.?

Absurd.

It's already been played too little. I pity the long-time fan who could only make it to one show on this tour, and got Mysterious Ways instead.

It's one of their best live songs, and has been missing for too long as it is.

 

[Nube Gris]

bring Twilight!

 

[RademR]

they should open and close the show with Electric Co.

Just kidding...but seriously...it's good.
