All Discussion on 2011 Rehearsals, Soundchecks *SPOILER ALERT*

[popacrobat]

Was the birdie certain it wasn't the transition into COBL?

 

[corianderstem]

I think if he heard singing, I'd say it's a fair bet it was the actual song, as the transition is just the little spoken bits over that music.

This guy's been to about a zillion shows, so I think he's savvy enough to know what's what. But obviously I can't say for sure.

 

[popacrobat]

Here's hoping he's right.

 

[brooklynmike]

I don't buy it for a second, but that would be pretty damn sweet.

OMG!!!!!

Looks like it is true!! They are rehearsing actually playing Zooropa INTO City of Blinding Lights, not just doing the PA thing anymore!



Is IALW FINALLY going to leave?

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

 

[ramblin rose]

Holy shit.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Is this even possible?

 

[TheEdge25]

I think they are finally figuring out that the 360 tour should not be just a regular old greatest hits tour.

Zooropa!

Here's a longer version...including the "Ridiculous voices" Zooropa part and the whole intro to COBL....

 

[Axver]

Oh my fucking god.

 

[TheEdge25]

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE MUD BABAAAAAAY



that's my favorite part

 

[cobl04]

Holy fucking shit. HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

EBTTRT, now Zooropa if they play it... makes me real depressed about Australia's shows.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh my fucking god.

I am speechless.

I WANT MY MUMMY! U2 are playing scary songs again.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I might shed a tear over this. This is what I want!

Zooropa!

WOW

 

[TheEdge25]

OH MY GOD GUYS

I am so FUCKING excited right now

 

[Axver]

Seriously, oh my fucking god.

Zooropa's only ever been played live three times before: 8, 11, and 12 August 1993.

EBTTRT, now Zooropa if they play it... makes me real depressed about Australia's shows.

God, me too. Especially that my last 360 show was that shitty Melbourne II one.

 

[ramblin rose]

Damn, I hope we can get a feed for these shows. We need the guy with a mic out his window like in Chile.

 

[garciaricky0019]

EBTTRT, now Zooropa, if only The Fly and UV! ...Miami 2011

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

 

[TheEdge25]

They brought back an old Achtung Baby song...now they're bringing back an old Zooropa song....what's next?? *fingers crossed* for an old POP song!!

 

[Axver]

Bah, he doesn't sing the "I have no religion" lyric.

What, we needed somebody to say something critical.

 

[corianderstem]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Oh my god.

Like, oh my god.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It's ... perfect.

 

[corianderstem]

EBTTRT, now Zooropa, if only The Fly and UV!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Oh my god.

OH MY GOD.

If they actually play this new stuff in concert, and then DON'T bring it up the US, I will .... uh ... make some REALLY DRAMATIC GESTURE.

 

[Axver]

Man it's been a while since I've been this genuinely excited about what the band may do.

Even the videos of the unreleased songs being soundchecked in Turin, I only watched each one of them once. Already played the Zooropa soundcheck three times.

 

[cobl04]

i cant fucking believe it. amazing

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Man it's been a while since I've been this genuinely excited about what the band may do.

I feel the same way. That second youtube clip posted here gave me chills and made me want to buy tickets for all the N. America shows!

 

[TheEdge25]

I'm dumb-struck. I was just piddling around on Twitter, saw a tweet that said, Brazil U2 soundcheck and, being bored, I just clicked it.

It was playing in the background and suddenly, "Zooropa...Zooropa" came on and I was like

Then I realized they were actually playing it and I was like:


Too bad I will not be online tomorrow for the first show when they actually debut it. Here's hoping we'll have some awesome videos!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

How long left until the show starts? I am so excite.
