New York V Setlist Watch and Party, Part II

[timothius]

PopMart is one of my favourite incarnations.

Rattle & Hum is one of my least favourite tracks of all time.

 

[Lila64]

I corrected - so don't jump on me!

 

[Miringeltje]

I don't think I've ever heard a poor version of I Still Haven't Found... ever

Maybe not from U2.

But in Europe there was this group from Austria called Edelweiss (or that's what I remember) that covered the song and totally ruined it for me.

 

[ramblin rose]

has U2 ever snippeted Acrobat?

Yeah, I heard Bono say Bastard once.

 

[AtomicBono]

I dont get girls who find conan attractive. Im a guy but I can still tell an attractive man. Conan is as goofy looking as they come.

he's actually not THAT hot, but his humor makes him appealing. funny guys are sexy. really though I just like the dude cuz he was my dad's homie back in the Harvard Lampoon.

 

[one4u2]

Heather

 

[kakvox]

Cher does ISHFWILF and it is

 

[RavenBlue]

I think of all the late night show dudes, Conan is the funniest with Leno second.

Aaaacho! Aaaachooo! I'm getting a cold.

But I wanted to get in and see how the show was going and it looks like it's going good.

 

[Axver]

PopMart is one of my favourite incarnations.

Rattle & Hum is one of my least favourite tracks of all time.

RAH: Bono could sing ISHFWILF.

Popmart: Bono could butcher ISHFWILF.

 

[Lancemc]

*sigh* I still don't get the whole fuss over Acrobat.

I doubt it would even sound that great live.


Give me an updated arrangment of Ultraviolet any day of the week over a live Acrobat.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Yeah, I heard Bono say Bastard once.

 

[LMP]

Maybe not from U2.

But in Europe there was this group from Austria called Edelweiss (or that's what I remember) that covered the song and totally ruined it for me.

I meant U2

Cher's cover = Death

 

[AtomicBono]

for you atomic

man I listened to Acrobat today and it ruled

 

[Axver]

has U2 ever snippeted Acrobat?

No. They did rehearse an acoustic version that flowed into Zoo Station though.

 

[one4u2]

he's actually not THAT hot, but his humor makes him appealing. funny guys are sexy. really though I just like the dude cuz he was my dad's homie back in the Harvard Lampoon.

He was sitting a few rows behind me Monday night he is a giant!

*Back to crying over Gloria*

 

[nurse chrissi]

but Jon Stewart beats them all

I Jon Stewart

I was all FUCKED UP! and I heard an opera in my heeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaddddd

 

[Utoo]

ditto.

 

[alexdescending]

Yeah, I heard Bono say Bastard once.

i think i remember hearing that bono sang, "i'm ready for the acrobat" during "zoo station" at one of the reaaallly early west coast shows and everyone FLIPPED.

[circa1992]

now it's miracle drug....

 

[RavenBlue]

I think it would be cool to hear any song that they didn't normally play live, no matter what it was. Acrobat, Ultraviolet,Moooooooofo!

 

[timothius]

RAH: Bono could sing ISHFWILF.

Popmart: Bono could butcher ISHFWILF.

Musically & Atmospherically it is awesome.

I've never liked the melody and lyrics for ISHFWILF anyway. People rip Some Days for having simple lyrics... but they are pretty much the same concept as ISHFWILF (even with a few choice little lines too).

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I dont get girls who find conan attractive. Im a guy but I can still tell an attractive man. Conan is as goofy looking as they come.

His personality makes him attractive.
He's funny as hell.

 

[kakvox]

Will we hear New York tonight??

 

[Lila64]

but Jon Stewart beats them all

I Jon Stewart

I'm with you!!!

BTW - did you ever get my PM with my address

 

[Axver]

I cannot believe U2 seriously think this is an appropriate fifth night set. This is going to be the same as normal through to One, folks.

 

[RavenBlue]

Yea Jon Stewart is good too. And quite cute!

 

[ramblin rose]

i think i remember hearing that bono sang, "i'm ready for the acrobat" during "zoo station" at one of the reaaallly early west coast shows and everyone FLIPPED.

That was on opening night in SD. I was there.

 

[circa1992]

i think it was the Blackbird snippet for beautiful day but i'm not sure
