One shall never leave any U2 concert...

The day they drop One, the day U2 will be over.

There, I said it.

Whew! Bold! :wink: I think they've got enough strength in their catalog to carry them through without One.

I will bet we see the early songs (An cat dubh) etc go, fo rthe later songs from ATYCLB.

That said, I beg all the powers that be that any of these 'new' songs replace 'ONE.'

Please

Please

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SECONDED. Or Pride. One or Pride and I will be a happy man.

An Cat Dubh isn't boring!

I know that. I'm one of the most ardent defenders of ACD/ITH - highlight of Boston III. But people keep saying it put the crowd to sleep, and I really can't imagine a 20 minute version holding the audience's attention ...

Nope, I am saying that One re-defined U2 and become an essential piece of their shows...

Well, Streets is an essential piece and before this tour they thought of cutting it.

If you ask me, One was the weakest moment at all three Boston shows.

But a 55-minute version of Vertigo would rock the house...

I don't know. Musically, it's probably one of the least re-defining songs on AB. In the mix of Zoo Station, The Fly, Love Is Blindness, One sounds very JT--very WOWY. Socially, it perhaps took away the effect of the AB/ZooTV goals and threw U2 back into the role of the socially-conscious rock group. Thinking this way, I don't really think that One re-defined the band at all, but instead kept them stuck in their JT-era mode.

However, to the average joe, One is perhaps the figurehead song of the "re-defined," early-mid-90s U2. I dunno. :scratch:

One made AB more accessible to the we-love-JT public. I think it's ironic that from U2's change in the nineties, their most successful song was the most eighties-sounding of the lot.
