Opening Song

[RickFly]

It can be said that u2 will start with a new song on the next tour. What if, they started with another song? What would you want it to be?

I think i would have to go with either:
where the streets have no name
Electric Co.
or

The Fly

 

[Axver]

The Electric Co. would be very nice indeed.

 

[pepokiss]

it's a really easy question to answer:

LADY WITH THE SPINNING HEAD (extended dance mix)

that song LIVE and I could go to heaven easily
(that or ACROBAT)

 

[Bono's shades]

I think the opening song on the new tour will be something from the new album. Isn't that how they have always done it?

 

[bayernfc]

They always (as far as I know) start with a new song, but for the sake of imagination, ....... Streets would feel too JTs era (although I wouldn't omit it from any setlist, as long as they tour)......... let's see as long as we're IMAGINING... Acrobat will be a nice choice indeed..... only if!!!

 

[beegee]

streets.

 

[SoBe]

Hmmm, Elevation always makes me wanna get outa my seat and dance...I think that would be a good opener.

 

[bau2fan]

hmmm... I would love to hear something from the Boy album. Then they could go for the new song.

 

[iacrobat]

Acrobat which segues into Mofo...i wonder how that would sound.

 

[Axver]

Acrobat would be a nice opener as well. Hmm ... how about Gloria or Surrender? Either of them would make a nice opener ... in fact, they've used Gloria before, I think.

 

[typhoon]

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

 

[Salome]

definately Boy/Girl



(wouldn't be a bigger surprise than Acrobat
wait a minute!
they have actually played Boy/Girl live, so it would even be a smaller surprise)

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

out of control...

have elevation start one of the encores...


or they could be like pearl jam and rotate about 10 different songs as openers. i saw 3 pearl jam shows on the last tour, 4 total in my life. they all opened with something different... long road, love boat captian, crazy mary... and the one durring the 2000 tour started with sometimes. each show was completely different from the last one.

lady with the spinning head would be magic!
