Denver II Setlist Watch and Thread Party.

[angel_28]

I love snippets...although i wish one night that Stories for Boys would come out of snippet heaven....i would love to hear the complete version....if only for one night .

 

[U2dork]

Axver, I, too like snippets. I got really excited when Bono sang parts of So Long Maryanne during Beautiful Day (I think) at the LA show.

 

[CTU2fan]

I don't like the "Hands" snippets...I usually love snippets, don't get me wrong. My favorite thing about "Bad" is all the snippets...but in Bullet, I want talking, I want "100, 200..." etc, and frankly I'll take the Tempe '87 hard solo over the bluesy solo...

 

[jachba]

Since Bono has said that HTDAAB is about redeemed innocence it rules out them doing a lot of the '90's stuff (much of those songs are darker thematically).

[Axver]

Well...I think it's different.

And yes...I do like the snippets...makes the song more unique.

It's not different if it's been done every single night. They're more standard than The Electric Co.

 

[angel_28]

I like the Blackbird snippet at the end of BD....thats one of my other favs so far this tour

 

[U2dork]

Yeah, I'm not to jazzed about the Hands that... snippet either. That song just never sparked for me.

 

[mikal]

i love 90's U2, but the only tunes i see fitting in this tour that haven't been played are:

Ultraviolet
Until The End........
Discotheque
Gone

 

[Queen Bee]

Bad

Same here with me...I think that most of us are use to the Speech during Bullet...and want to hear that speech again whenever they play Bullet...like me!

 

[Stingray]

Zootopia person,

Was The Hands That Built America included in Bullet along with When Johnny Comes Marching Home?

Everyone here,

Am I the only person who likes these snippets? I would prefer the solos of previous tours, but I LOVE these snippets. Adds a whole new dimension and feeling to the song.

I love the Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet, it's awesome in person

[MikeSt]

i was floored when they played the full band version of please in baltimore in 2001. not a tight version of it, but it's my favorite song and it came out of nowhere. it would be a welcome addition to the set.

hey i was at Bmore 2001!!! right in front of Edge!

 

[Axver]

I love snippets...although i wish one night that Stories for Boys would come out of snippet heaven....i would love to hear the complete version....if only for one night .

I would pay U2 a lot of money if they were to break out in a full Stories For Boys and then follow it with Boy/Girl --> Out Of Control like back in the days of Boy.

 

[tkramer]

BAD!!!

 

[U2dork]

Bad

Yippie! I hope they keep it, I really, really do...

 

[mikal]

nice!

 

[ericnurgles]

The snippets have been around forever. Listen to Under a Blood Red Sky. Send in the Clowns is a snippet. Later, 'Gloria' during Exit was a popular snippet, as were 'Ruby Tuesday' and 'Sympathy for the Devil' in Bad.

Snippets are classic U2.

 

[Stingray]

NOw that I think about it though, I'd prefer to hear the little speech in bullet

 

[Vervefloyd]

hey i was at Bmore 2001!!! right in front of Edge!

i was at the top of the heart when bono starting talking over the string intro to please. its the best show ive ever seen. i liked how they didnt have to play to anyone behind them because of the wall.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

It's not different if it's been done every single night. They're more standard than The Electric Co.

But every time I see it...I think it's different...

(Reply: Lame joke except for some of the s)

 

[tkramer]

Of course, my wife loves Bad, and we're flying to Seattle in the morning for the Sunday show. Does that mean no Bad on Sunday?

 

[Axver]

||Hi Axfer - couldn't tell...lets just say the crowd is rather spirited tonight ||

Well, to the crowd then! I'll keep looking around and I'll see if I can find any word elsewhere. Pretty safe to bet that a line appeared somewhere, though.

And BAD! YES!

 

[ericnurgles]

So Denver is getting Bad right now. Nice. Good for all those good people.

 

[*Ally*]

i have a feeling they think just having zoo station and the fly makes 90's fans happy

don't they understand us 90s fans want oh-so-much more.... hopefully they will add something new! please would be great, or gone, EBTTRT , UTEOTW, wild horses, etc etc... i won't even start w/ "acro***"!!!

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Bad = Niccceeeee!

 

[Axver]

OK, so do we think they'll play Zoo Station tonight?

 

[ericnurgles]

My guess is no.

 

[*Ally*]

And BAD! YES!

BAD!!! definitely gets a , and maybe even a
