Three Longshot Songs You Want To Hear Live

[AtomicBono]

I'm gonna put more than three, 'cause I'm a pirate and I rule.

- Stories for Boys: one of my favourtie tunes from Boy and it'd be so seemingly random and awesome.

- Exit: seems to be a popular choice...shows the darker side of U2 and is fuckin' A live.

- 11 O'Clock Tick Tock: Best early U2. This song is amazing. Just...wow.

- The Ground Beneath Her Feet: Full band. No acoustics. I want the amazing two-guitar part at the end, which I guess would require a backing track unless Bono's feeling ambitious...that would so rule though.

- Anything from Pop! Last Night on Earth, Mofo, or Do You Feel Loved would be especially great, even though Discotheque is my favourite Pop tune. Heck, how 'bout they just do the whole album live...

- Mercy: It'd be a great way to introduce the song, which better be on the next album. This song NEEDS to be on an album because it is amazing.

- Acrobat: Everyone wants this song to be played. Including me.

[Ody]

Hallelujah Here She Comes

Hawkmoon 269

Fast Cars

 

[AaronMcKie]

One Tree Hill
Discotheque (am I crazy, I think this song would be great acustic)
The Wanderer (Bono version, obviously)

The last 2 are almost guaranteed not to be played, but I'm holding out hope I might get to hear One Tree Hill live


...and I have a feeling Who's Gonna Ride will be on the setlist this year (maybe not every show, though). The song got great reactions when they played a snippet after Bad during the 3rd leg of Elevation.

Regarding the Fly I recall a comment from Edge saying that they removed it because they didn't think it sounded right and that it had not really stood the test of time.

I personally still like both live and album versions but what do i know.

Anyway my long shots

Mercy - because they would be playing it for their hardcore fan base

Acrobat - Because it's simply an awesome song

Seconds - I like hearing them delve into there back catalogue and turn something old into something new.

 

[djparky]

long shots

Red Hill Mining Town -
MLK
Unforgettable Fire
Spanish Eyes
Love is Blindness

 

[Westport]

Ok....limiting it to three songs was maybe a mistake...so this is my second listing of three...sorry but other songs have kept coming to mind...why should we be limited?? And since I started this thread...


One Tree Hill
Unforgettable Fire -
M.L.K. in place of Pride. I find this to be more a more powerful tribute to Martin Luther King. And I loved the way it was used at the Super Bowl to lead into Streets. And the way Bono said, "America!" still gives me chills.

 

[boosterjuice]

ultraviolet
heartland
grace (just joking)
a sort of homecoming

 

[Westport]

Ok...since they've played one of my choices...now I'd like to hear:

One Tree Hill
Acrobat

Why do I have a bad feeling that we won't see UTEOTW until the Fall tour of the U.S.?
