So they DID rehearse it at the stadium? We had no rumours about that, had we? Thought they had rehearsed the song somewhere else to keep it a secret.

Could have sworn I read about them soundchecking it in some setlist thread or another...So they DID rehearse it at the stadium? We had no rumours about that, had we? Thought they had rehearsed the song somewhere else to keep it a secret.

Yes, they did rehearse it at the stadium. I was near the stadium at 4 p.m and I heard The Edge rehearsing I Will Follow, the intro of Bad and Boy Falls From Sky.

When I heard this and Bad being soundchecked excitement levels went through the roof.
This is easily the best of the new songs for me, and thats saying something as I really rate Mercy, Every Breaking Wave, Stingray and North Star highly.

It's incredible, the song is so, so, so, so great, and the lyrics are incredible.
Instant classic.
I was there, by the way. When Bono said "this is Boy Falls From the Sky" I exploded. I also heard the riff outside the stadium, but I've also heard the drums from Gloria in Gothenburg, and backing tracks from NLOTHII in Horsens, so I figured not to get excited, and that it was probably just Dallas goofing around or something. NO SIR
A little sad that they supposedly should have played Bad, but between this and Bad, I know what I'd prefer. I love this band so much.

(Here's hoping they keep BFFTS in the setlist for the US leg...)

I wouldn't be too surprised if they've got something planned for Oceania beyond the mandatory OTH. Fingers crossed for some new songs and/or Pop representation!

you are right... and did you already compare BFFTS with HMTMKMKM? There is even more similarity!

The last verse is very ' The Fly '

Yeah, I get a big Batman vibe off it. Which is funny, because even the radio dj who put it on the radio today(just a clip, Michiel @ 3FM) said the same thing. I did not expect him to even KNOW HMTMKMKM!
Either way, I love both Batman and UTEOTW a LOT, and BFFTS is really pretty damn awesome. I don't usually fall in love with songs this easily, but woah, this one got me like NLOTH2 got me last year.

Thanks Wilson8^^^
Song is really growing on me and I really think this was a U2 song at first in which they contributed it too the Spiderman musical. Larry has some good work on it.

Thought it was boring. Will have to give it a few more listens.

It rocks! I prefer this to Glastonbury!
Just don't listen to it a 1000 times in a row.

Is that a challenge I hear? Nah, it would take too long. there's way too much other material from this tour out right now. With NLOTH2 it was pretty much dead time waiting for NLOTH to come out.

Is Bono too old to play Peter Parker?.....

It's ok...a little too generic in the verses and a little too much Dirty Day in the riff, and the ending needs to be more energetic.

Probably my favorite new song besides EBW.
Man I am aching, I mean A C H I N G, to hear this played live to a crowd again.
Edge man, what a f***ing guitar hero.
When d'ya think they'll play it again? (I'd also foam at the mouth if Every Breaking Wave reappeared).
The recent rehearsal (below) tided me over - you can see they are still perfecting it, but this has the potential to be U2's biggest hit of the last 20 years.
I love the way Larry comes in at 0:20 and of course Edge at 1:20 and 2:45. The Adam and the Bono also awesome, though in experimental mode here of course.

it is massive. my personal favourite of the new songs to turn up, and i like them all. standing in that spot outside the stadium while they were running through it was cool enough...in a real show, it'll be unstoppable.

I think that this one will be played before they leave Oz! 
Especially with Spiderman being out now I see some real possibilities.
