[Lila64]

timothius - see ya later!

[Axver]

Non-singles? That shit is TOO easy...

1) "Scarlet"
2) "Dirty Day"
3) "MOFO"

Shit yeah.

Mofo was a single.

 

[RademR]

Can't believe they played "Ruby Tuesday" with Bad the other night, awesome!!!

 

[popmuzik99]

Definitely Red Hill Mining Town.

 

[Lisa71]

Electrical Storm
Red Hill Mining Town (I would kill to hear this)
Acrobat

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Non-singles? That shit is TOO easy...

1) "Scarlet"
2) "Dirty Day"
3) "MOFO"

Shit yeah.

Yea...I agree with Axver....Mofo is a single...so that one doesn't count.

 

[If you shout...]

Mofo was a single.

Bah! "MOFO" wasn't no "real" single. I'm sure you know what I mean... As far as I'm concerned, a song isn't a "real" single unless it's actually cleared for radio play, too (relative to America, being that that's how I judge my "real" singles). If I side with the technical definition, which I hadn't even considered, then I would have to replace that bad boy with "An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart," even though it's already being played. I've waited years and years for that jazz.

 

[Axver]

Definitely Red Hill Mining Town.

I can't believe how close they came to playing that one. 28 November 1987, Murfreesboro, it was intensively soundchecked.

Should have been played.

 

[Drea]

Can't limit myself to one...

In chronological order:
Drowning Man
Refugee
Red Hill Mining Town
Acrobat
Electrical Storm
A Man and A Woman
Crumbs
One Step Closer

The absolute most I could limit it down to would be three, if forced - Drowning Man, Acrobat and One Step Closer

 

[fredstab]

axver, definitely HEARTLAND (or Acrobat!!!)

 

[Lila64]

Can't believe they played "Ruby Tuesday" with Bad the other night, awesome!!!

Bono sang one line and the crowd did the rest, right? Or should I play it again? I only dowloaded Bad and Vertigo2

 

[melovekittens]

Love Is Blindness

 

[fredstab]

Drea, No ''Heartland'' for you??

Axver (Setlist guy), do you think That U2 Will EVER Play Acrobat or heartland Live??? (My guess is yes for Acrobat!)

 

[Lila64]

any word on the show? Has it begun (didn't mean to change the topic )

 

[Axver]

Drea, No ''Heartland'' for you??

Axver (Setlist guy), do you think That U2 Will EVER Play Acrobat or heartland Live??? (My guess is yes for Acrobat!)

Heartland, no. I suspect Bono couldn't get close to singing it properly.

Acrobat, no, even though I hold out a very faint hope. Stranger things have happened - U2 covered Dancing Queen.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

any word on the show? Has it begun (didn't mean to change the topic )

I was wondering the same thing...but I didn't want to say anything.

 

[U2dork]

Has the show started yet? I've been playing around with the map thing and not paying attention...

 

[jachba]

Good to see some other Torontonians here tonight. I'm guessing that Bono might make a comment about PM Paul Martin's backing down from the committment he made to give 0.7% of Canada's GDP to foreign aid. Even if Bono doesn't mention the foreign aid issue he likely will make some reference to Martin.

 

[Lisa71]

I can't believe how close they came to playing that one. 28 November 1987, Murfreesboro, it was intensively soundchecked.

Should have been played.

It's been reported that they haven't done it because the notes are too high for Bono but I was listening to it the other day and there aren't worse notes than other songs. Could their be another reason?

 

[Axver]

Should've begun ... source, anyone?

 

[Diane L]

Wow, I just got back after listing a couple of things on half.com (I have to pay for my tickets somehow!) and there are two Tim Tams and a honey sandwich waiting for me!

Thanks Lila, thanks Axver!!!

I'm really tempted to order some Tim Tams at this mail order site for Australian foods on the web. I have to taste them!

And my vote for never-played song to be played is...HEARTLAND.

 

[angel_28]

I've been listening to Seattle One and Two....Seattle2 is quite funny......the show must have started by now...i hope coz i have to sleep soon...

 

[Drea]

Drea, No ''Heartland'' for you??

Having not heard "Heartland" (I'm missing a couple albums still), I can't really give an opinion on it
