Windows In The Skies on 360?

cimrk01 · 07-03-2011, 01:40 PM

Have they ever they played it during this tour? When watching the video again this week, I'm surprised they didn't use it as a potential closer. The shots of the band within the crowd at the end of the video especially would of been pretty cool to see shown on the big screens. Then again, they could be saving it for an intimate setting for the next tour in arenas perhaps?

Thoughts?

Nope. They played it a few times at the end of the Vertigo tour, but that's it.

People don't really like that song.

I love that song... so glad I heard it live in Hawaii, played for final Vertigo show.
Edit: Ya, Japan got it too!

I think one of the Japan shows got it as well.

I like the song, but I can't really see it working on 360. If they actually go through with the "rarities tour" they've been talking about, it'd be a good addition to the setlist.

Well, it has "skies" in the title, and "a man was a rocketship into the sky" was enough to make In A Little While a staple.

yeah, but that's a rocketship. it wasn't enough for staring at the sun, even though the sun is a star.

I like the song, but I don't know that I like it live.

nickoslo · 07-03-2011, 05:52 PM

now make a topic for every u2 song, for example:

''Love comes tumbling on 360?''

Wow - that was exceptional I thought!

I should probably revisit it. I wasn't impressed by it at the time, but maybe now.
I'm kind of a set-in-my-U2-ways fan.

Window in the Skies marked the end of the Vertigo era, IMHO. It's a good song with one of their better videos, but I doubt they'll ever bring it out live again.

Last Night On Earth should also be added.
