Some U2 Live Trivia

[discothequeLP]

Try to guess without looking this one up, ok?



What year was "Van Deimen's Land" last played?

 

[mofo82]

im guessing sometime on popmart, so 97

 

[Axver]

I'm pretty sure it was 1993. In Italy, right?

 

[allbecauseofu2]

1989

 

[Chizip]

i bet one of the many u2 cover bands has played it in 2005

he didnt specify that it was u2 themselves that had to play it

so what do i win?

My Guess is Rome 93.....Not sure on which night.....

I propose a whole Edge set. Stuff the acoustic set, let's give Edge the lead for a couple of songs.

.. during which Edge should throw on a leather jacket and some shades...

that'd be the funniest thing ever

You forgot the 2 inch soles on the shoes and a big white flag

 

[korczykp]

meh, might as well throw in the muscle shirt while we're at it

 

[Axver]

And a mullet. Don't forget the mullet.

 

[Tania]

And to finish it off - A cowboy hat!

 

[Tania]

Poor Edge!

I Will Follow (647 times played) ...

I did love the version of Sunday Bloody Sunday from Popmart Mexico. Edge's voice is very under-rated! Don't think its strong or unique enough to sing more than a couple of songs a night..

I love that site. I have a significant chunk of it memorised, hence my setlist knowledge.

I really do need to get onto e-mailing them to correct a few errors. And they NEED to distinguish between U2's Gloria and Van Morrison's Gloria. Move Gloria down a couple of places on the Most Times Played list to get a more accurate reflection.

Though it may need some holes cut to accommodate the Phistohorns.

Does this mean that Bono has to learn to play the guitar really well and wear a beanie?
