Good Luck Dayglo

I was hoping Vancouver 2 would be extended or special due to being the last show before a break. But it turns out that before a break they don't want to do anything special, they just want to get to their break

So What About it Folks chime on in?

i was at the 6/22/01 NJ show, the final show the 1st leg of Elevation. nothing too exciting happened- though we did get the 'extra' verse for WOWY ('shine like stars...') and i believe they played 'Wild Honey', which was unexpected (dedicated it to Christy Turlington and Ed Burns). but aside from that, it was a pretty standard show... though i think the band was quite relaxed/looking forward to a bit of a break.

i was also at 12/2/01 final Elevation show in Miami. again, no major setlist shakeups... 3 fans did get onstage- Tattoo dan (his 3rd time), Jesus Matt (playing 'knockin on heaven's door), and Bellydancer Melissa (slow dance to 'bad'). so that was cool... and also, the band seemed really on fire- though bono's voice was quite shot (due to too much partying, he claimed!).

they were both fun experiences, but really nothing very major happened... sorry i can't be of more assistance!

i hope it's different at the 5/28 Boston show, as i'll be there, too!!

yes, i'd love a bit of a setlist shakeup! they definitely mixed things up in boston on the Elevation tour, so let's hope they do it again!

and thanks for the welcome...

i was at the 6/22/01 NJ show, the final show the 1st leg of Elevation [...] i believe they played 'Wild Honey'

Yep, that was the first time Wild Honey was played, and one of only two times it was played before the third leg.

I don't get the griping about Vancouver II. It actually had a bit of a surprise in the set. U2 did the so-called 'second night' set on the first night as it opens with COBL and they'd done the COBL shoot the previous day, so the second night should've had the 'first night' LAPOE set, but instead, although they essentially used the 'first night' set, they opened again with COBL. So it wasn't totally standard from that point of view, it did have something a wee bit special.

Really, when you look at Boston III --> Brussels, you see U2 don't have much of a break! And remember, this is the THIRD night in Boston. It should see a more varied set. I'm really looking forward to it! Hopefully, because of the variation element, U2 will choose to end this leg on an exciting note somehow.

They will play I Fall Down or A Celebration.

Or they will play Pride. Who Knows?

 

[bono_man2002]

Bet you they play Crumbs.
To continue on the premiere a song at the end of a leg thing..........which is only happend....once of the top of my head.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

yea i was at the jersey show to end the first leg of elevation, too... wild honey was cool, but overall it was nothing that spectacular... the shows at MSG earlier in the week were much better.

thus why i'm much happier that MSG ends my run of concerts this year, rather than begin the run

frankly i think it depends on the venue... having the last show of the first leg in boston will help, as opposed to the last show of the third leg in portland of all places.

 

[2heartsboston]

So maybe now we will get Waiting till the End of the World??

or B A D as well?
on Final nite 5/28..........

 

[sconti]

I would expect a few surprises because it's night 3 out of 3, not necessarily because it's the final show of the leg.
