Will they play Running to Stand Still at the Dublin concerts?

[financeguy]

I say yes, and I'll explain why later.

 

[njelevation06]

yes ... of course

 

[pollypocket]

I say yes, at least I hope to experience it live!

 

[Axver]

Although I am not sure if RTSS will be played at every European show as Bullet will require a reinvention, the fact that Dublin has three shows means I'm fairly confident it will appear at least once.

 

[FlyYourKite]

I agree with Axver. The odds are in its favour

 

[loverippedaway]

Yeah I think it will be played, I don't think they plan on dropping t hat song, although you never really know with U2.

 

[AtomicBono]

Of course, the song itself is set in Dublin...

 

[u2wedge]

Aren't the seven towers in Ireland? I bet they play it.

Yes you're getting warm but still not the whole reason as to why I think at this point in time they will definitely play it.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

I defenitly think that they will play it in Dublin.

The question begs to be asked, though, will he dedicate the song to the brave men and women of the Irish armed services.

Doubtful.

?????

Why not, as many thousands of Irish men and women lost their lives fighting in numerous conflicts, such as:

(1) World War I

(2) World War II

(3) Peace-keeping in the Lebanon.

(4) Fighting for our independence from Britain in numerous conflicts, such as the War of Independence 1919-1921.

Having said that, the song was originally written about heroin addiction in Dublin, and was nothing to do with any armed services.

I think the seven towers are down... Wasn't it last year?

Bingo, they are in the process of being demolished.

A pint of Guinness for you.
