[elevated_u2_fan]

Ah. I guess that's practical then.

it does look pretty fucking cool as well... I don't suppose you have bothered to watch any of the youtube clips?

Starting at the bottom of page 2, through page 3 kills me:

No. I heard the tour sucks, so i didn't waste my time. I have, however, been listening to "All I Want is You" a lot.

The best part about that thread was the abrupt ending to get back on topic.

you can have this on mute for all I care - it still looks fucking cool - I don't care who you are.

Agreed. I like going back through old topics. Such nonsense.

 

[No spoken words]

We're on terra firma when dealing with nonsense. When shit gets real, we might not be at our best.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

nonsense is where I excel... that's why 90% of my replies are in LS and IO...

You wouldn't be saying that if you knew who I was! But yeah, it does look cool.I don't know if I'd wany my view blocked for 2 hours though.

I'm ok in high pressure situations. I usually STFU and stare at unrelated shit. Works for me.

YouTube - U2 Gothenburg 2009-07-31 Mysterious Ways w/ Norwegian Wood snippet

Bono telling people to "shake their big fat ass" makes me laugh

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Interesting, they closed the main set tonight with Mysterious Ways... that's new.

 

[u2popmofo]

Git Ur Bootz On is still one of my least favorite songs on the album. The "let me in the sound" part is good though.

Jara sang his song a weapon

What the fuck does that even mean?

I still swear on the album it sounds like he's singing "I don't believe in pantsy roses."

I still swear on the album it sounds like he's singing "I don't believe in pantsy roses."

god, i remember this discussion from over 18 months ago. it still sounds like painty roses to me.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, that too. It drives me crazy. It just doesn't sound like "painted" on the album.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

today the band has soundchecked "White As Snow"

 

[phillyfan26]

And they soundchecked Your Blue Room yesterday again.

 

[Lila64]

Clearly they're saving Your Blue Room for Chicago.

And which show are they saving Drowning Man for?

If you don't like this setlist, you're a fucking idiot:

too many of those on interference. that's a really solid show and would be fucking excellent in person.

 

[corianderstem]

I wonder if Electrical Storm is well and truly gone?

Nice to see that other song (the one whose title is the opposite of good) make a comeback.

I think the only thing I would change, without getting into the old "why can't they drop blah blah blah" whine, is that I'd like another song or two in the encore. And maybe a more uptempo song in the encore. I like to leave concerts on a rockin' note.

But still - it'll be great, and I can't wait to see two of the three songs in that encore in person.

Edit: BWA HA HA HAAAAAA!

Hell yeah. I think it had all of Pfan's Fantastic Four in there, too.

If "Electrical Storm" is gone, then the bridge train trolls won't have anything to bitch about.

I'm with you on the encore, but I think those three tracks are pretty solid. "Mysterious Ways" would fit like a glove in there.

I'm glad that snippets are reported so I could see something as insanely awesome as that man-pear.
