I just hope they remember the victims of Bowling Green this tour.

Yes, how truly shocking that Bono would dare speak out about extremist violence.


Also, Leonard =

Do Leonard Cohen snippets exist?

 

[holyyjoe]

Bono snippeted Hallelujah at the end of One at Popmart in Edmonton in '97

 

[Axver]

Do Leonard Cohen snippets exist?

Yes. U2, or members thereof, have performed or snippeted five different Cohen songs: All songs/snippets sorted by artist - U2 on tour

Time to bring out something other than Hallelujah to snippet. How about a nice First We Take Manhattan?

U2 shows are my church...I love when Bono shifts into Reverend. He generally does so with a solid musical underlay. It just FEELS like U2 when Bono goes Bono.

With a Joshua Tree redux, I demand Reverend Bono!

Anthem was snippeted in three different songs in this show. Need to bring it up to half a dozen at least.
