Perth #2 setlist party 12-19-2010

[JoRu]

Merry Christmas, all.

And since I know this will make *everyone* happy...
YouTube - Coldplay - Christmas Lights

I actually that song. Here's hoping U2 does something similar (yes, they did that Greg Lake-cover two years ago, but that wasn't a song they made themselves). Merry Christmas to you all!

How did I miss this Setlist party!!??

Hope all you setlisters have a great Christmas and New Year!

See you in 2011

Buttonchin, where were you? ie whats your first name? I was a bit on Adams side, second in behind Emily.

 

[nirniva]

...Dang, now this subforum is going to suck until February, isn't it?

 

[silkensky]

Any videos of Desire yet? Reportedly done by the whole band, but was it laid back like Slane or full throttle like Lovetown/ZooTV?

Sounds like an incredible night in any case!!

 

[digitize]

I feel like this was a really fitting setlist to end the leg right before Christmas. Certainly not my ideal setlist, but great for the occasion.

 

[theu2fly]

I wanna hear Desire too!

Frrrrriiggggeeen heck! Gawd that was good. Fan-bloody-tastic! Amazing, amazing. Words fail me.

PS Hobby Tex are crayons that old grannies use to do hand made designs on their tshirts. I could have possibly been suggesting that Adams shirt looks like an old ladies shirt.

And Jay Z's towel! I have it!!!

It was very floral, wasn't it - the shirt, not Jay Z's towel

 

[Buttonchin]

Hi Beli, my name's Anna. I was wearing a black floral dress (which I will probably now 'detail' with Hobby Tex' in honor of Adam)

I should change my profile pic but haven't figured it out yet.

 

[Tania]

Do I have your email addy in my phone?

 

[Buttonchin]

Yes!! *wow, this is cute!

 

[Tania]

Beli was in the red top next to me at the start of the show.

 

[Buttonchin]

I met both of you! *wave and hug to Beli

 

[Emmerald]

haha you guys are funny, liking your post-show reunion

Meh......great vocal performance but laid back busker style. Not being negative, this whole leg was incredible, but it doesn't matter how rarely its played nowadays, I was sick of laid back Desire halfway through Elevation.

YouTube - Desire. U2 360 Perth 2010

I just don't get what U2 is missing here! Played properly, it doesn't extend the show any longer and is one of their best and tightest straight ahead rock moments. Larry is the star of this song played full throttle, you'd think he'd demand more than lazily drumming the outline of the beat from the 1st verse on.

I should shut up, but they acknowledged Lovetown and gave Love Rescue Me a proper performance, what's wrong with Desire?

 

[silkensky]

Well its better than what they've done with the song in recent years. I'll take it. And holy shit Bono sounds good there!

 

[U2girl]

Elevation and Vertigo were better Desire versions musically, though Bono probably at his best post Zoo TV re: the song here...Edge should pick up the electric guitar again.

 

[Tania]

We were all standing together chatting a little before the show started

A shout out to the couple next to me in Section 132 Row K (Adam's side - I saw him bounce during 2 songs ). They got engaged during One, she waved her ring at me during Streets while we were bouncing!!!!!

This is the best thing I've ever heard.

Proposing during a U2 concert is something I'd dream about.

That must be amazing for them. They should have went GA, got on stage then just ignored Bono and done it there!

 

[beli]

Anna! Yes, we hugged, we kissed, we bounced! Good to find out what your name is

PS re Setlist - Bono twice did bits of John Lennons Happy Christmas
