If so, that's quite a show. I'd venture to say the best setlist of the tour, although the exemption of "40" is a tough one to bear.

I knew it! The Ocean!

And they better play 40! But bring on 11 O'clock Tick Tock first!

 

[Harbinger]

Wow, the ocean as well... this is insane. Now, theo nly question is: Will we see 40?

How loooonnnng till we sing that song?

 

[Lila64]

CTU2fan - you've got mail (probably lots by morning, LOL)

 

[*Ally*]

hmmm... maybe U2 will be the halftime act during the NBA playoffs... and that's why they played 'vertigo' twice, b/c they're going to use concert footage?

they did this with boston footage back in 2001...

i just can't imagine why they'd play vertigo twice, unless it was for TV or something...

 

[Westport]

Did they not play 40?

That just totally changes the note at the end of the show...like let's break the guitars and walk off the stage.

The Ocean?? Wow - this is THE fucking setlist now.

 

[walkon11]

I remember in Vegas opening night of Popmart in Vegas where they came out on the tip of the runway(?) and set up to play 'Staring At The Sun'. They started playing, and then stopped because something was not right. Then they restarted

I just d/l'd that earlier this week and converted it to WAVE file to listen to...was it just me, or was that show "cringe-worthy"? Maybe I got a bad copy of it or something...

 

[Queen Bee]

Where in god's name did you get that smilie?!?!?!?


That one is really funny!

It's used at a message board I abandoned after I discovered Interference.

: The Ocean being played

: 40 not being played

 

[knox]

The word at the moment is that the show is over -- NO "40".

 

[CTU2fan]

CTU2fan - you've got mail (probably lots by morning, LOL)

I've created a monster...but a TRADE monster, which is a good thing

 

[Queen Bee]

Damn.

Of course you would find it at another forum! It makes sense!

 

[*Ally*]

The word at the moment is that the show is over -- NO "40".

that is just bizarre... i think they must've been recording for something...

 

[Westport]

I kind of like the idea of the show ending on all of the

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"s!!

YEAH!!!

 

[Axver]

OK, if there was no 40, that rather changes my opinion on things.

 

[CTU2fan]

Wow...no 40 ruins it...what a buzzkill

 

[Harbinger]

Hey Axver, oh master setlist generork, what isa/re the song/s that have both opened and closed a show (no restrictions on type of show or tour or anything)?

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

The word at the moment is that the show is over -- NO "40".

Total downer man!!!

 

[Lila64]

Cringe-worthy? I don't remember it being that bad. They were supposedly way under-rehearsed for the tour (which I found out later). I love U2 and walking out of that stadium my friends were all talking about how great they were. I still thought it was good, but not one of their better shows per se. I don't own many live recordings so I couldn't judge....

 

[Queen Bee]

Me too.

 

[Mucca]

NOOO!!

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Me Three

 

[Westport]

Having been to 3 shows so far...I think it's great that they changed the end....I love 40 but the crowd for the most part was just clueless to the song. I wouldn't want this to be the way they end most shows but glad to see it be different.

 

[RademR]

it was only one show, but that sucks no 40.

Strange to close with Vertigo, such a full throttle song, it ends, and then goodbye??

 

[Axver]

Hey Axver, oh master setlist generork, what isa/re the song/s that have both opened and closed a show (no restrictions on type of show or tour or anything)?

The Ocean, 11 O'clock Tick Tock, Elevation, and Vertigo. Check the link in my signature to U2 concert openers and closers - once there, click the link to the trivia and I make a small note on it.

The recording I have is quite good, but the performance wasn't. Though not really any different from any first night...they usually take awhile to get warmed up.

Yeah, perhaps it was just the first time listening to it...it does sound a lot less polished than the later PopMart concerts (I LOVE the bootlegs from this tour). I think SATS was pretty funny...

"We're just having a family row"...

 

[timothius]

Hey I like the Vertigo ending. Mix it up.

"40" live is over rated anyways.
