songs at superbowl

NShaik · Jan 30, 2002

from u2.com:

All they will say is that one of the following songs will be on the playlist.

* I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
* Desire
* Beautiful Day
* Pride (In the Name of Love)

Which of those do u want to hear the most?

I would have to say pride - it is the perfect song for getting thousands and thousands of people on their feet (and it'd be nice to see it, after having it ruthlessly omitted from the DVD. I could rant for hours about that)

Beautiful is probably the most likely, as its already been established as a sports nthem (Olympics)

I would say Pride is a great stadium anthem so go with that. do we get to vote on which one they do or is this just a little informal Interference question?

oktobergirl · Jan 30, 2002

I think they will play:

Elevation
Beautiful Day
Pride

ireland · Jan 30, 2002

u2 will go with beautiful day ahead of pride.
as foR the other 2 id say streets and maybe elevation but id doubt it.
id be hoping for an acoustic mofo-IMAGINE

Zoocoustic · Jan 30, 2002

We've got to keep in mind that this is a big opportunity for them to make a big impact on the Grammy voters, so I think that at least two, if not all of the songs, will come from ATYCLB. Also, the songs must fit with the huge superbowl crowd and audience; they must be "big" sounding songs.

As a result, I'm going with the following:

Elevation
Beautiful Day
Where The Streets Have No Name

gah! time for our twice a week discussion on what they might play at the superbowl.

I have decided that they should play...hmmm...actually, I'm not even going to speculate. I'll just have my VCR handy and see what happens.

mug222 · Jan 30, 2002

They are playing One, with the screen and names, I can tell you that.

Hitman · Jan 30, 2002

My prediction is.......

Beautiful Day
One
Walk On (Bringing in New York City Firefighters and police officers on stage)

Bet the house on it.

NShaik · Jan 30, 2002

If I could choose:

When I Look at the World
Out of Control
Pride

But then that's not very realistic

I agree with BD and Walk On (for sure), but I don't know about One, seems like kind of a downer song for the Superbowl. I would lean more towards Pride.

Once again, if anyone cares, One will be played; this is not speculation.

jezebel · Jan 30, 2002

ok, mug, we give up. How do you know that One will be played?

pub crawler · Jan 30, 2002

According to this article, they will play Walk On:

I think Hitman may be right.

DiGi · Jan 30, 2002

I think they will play one. Post 9-11 at their shows it was pretty emotional. Now they are on stage at the largest sporting event in the US and on TV in front of 800 million people. I think they will do One in tribute to 9-11 victims

Lemon Baby · Jan 30, 2002

I would love to see One performed.

I also would love to hear In God's Country but they'll probably stick to what the non-fans would know.

madonna's child · Jan 30, 2002

1. beautiful day or elevation (i would perfer BD)
2. pride
3. walk on

...one and streets are both powerful live songs for a stadium full of U2 fans, but when it's a nation full of half drunk football fans, you need something that will keep them grooving and reflective at the same time. one is too slow and streets is not a standard get up on your feet and dance song, although U2 fans know it's really a great song for that.

I've come to appreciate Mug's insight on matters such as this.

Mug is usually accurate..
Mug will you write to me?

I think it would be cool if they play "Desire" at the tip of the heart similiar to the Elevation DVD.

V Nura · Jan 31, 2002

We all know they are playing

Discotheque (dressed up as the village people)

Acoustic Mofo

and

I threw a brick through a window ( with adam on vocals)

ONElife · Jan 31, 2002

Realistically this is the way it will probably go:

1. Elevation
2. Beautiful Day or Desire
3. Walk On or One

I'm thinking it will be Elevation, Desire and then walk on. One seems a little depressing for the situation. I would guess Desire over beautiful day because they, I'm thinking, will go with two ATYCLB tracks and one classic. The Ele, Desi, Walk list seems very upbeat, but a great tribute to America. I would actually be very, very suprised if they didn't close with walk on.

sv · Jan 31, 2002

Walk On will close, and undoubtedly New York Firemen and/or cops will take the stage with them.

sv · Jan 31, 2002

Sorry, exited accidently.

I agree with the above posts:

Beautiful Day
One
Walk On with firemen

(if they had time Streets would be great instead on One, but Streets is kind of long and I agree with some here that without U2 fans screaming along it might not be as great as it should)

Desire will be played a lot before & after commercials, I bet. But I think U2 would prefer new fans to buy ATYCLB, Achtung, or Joshua rather than Rattle & Hum.

Danospano · Jan 31, 2002

Stuck in a Moment
Pride (In the Name of Love)
Walk On

Danospano · Jan 31, 2002

I think Walk On is definately going to be in the setlist. I have a hunch they will include Stuck in a Moment, but I will probably be wrong. If they, in fact, use one song from the on-line poll it will be Pride or most likely, Beautiful Day. I can't picture them only playing songs from ATYCLB, so I doubt Stuck would make it to the final list.

So, we know that...

1)Pride (In the Name of Love)/Beautiful Day

2)Walk On

3)Undeclared. Possible choices could be Where the Streets Have No Name, Please, Desire, or maybe Elevation.

That'd be a fucking sweet deal... Geezus.. I can't even Imagine...

L.Unplugged

STING2 · Jan 31, 2002

I just read in article from U2.com that WALK ON is definitely one of the three. Know this I predict:

Where The Streets Have No Name
Beautiful Day
Walk On

david · Jan 31, 2002

I haven't heard a good live version of Pride since.. uhm 1989.

MadelynIris · Jan 31, 2002

I think Sting2 is right:

Where The Streets Have No Name
Beautiful Day
Walk On

Maybe not in that order - I think Walk On will be wedge between the other two.
