I noticed that EBW hasn't been rehearsed...

TheGeekyU2Fan · 04-30-2018, 03:38 PM

Someone should add a tag that says:
play Streets!!!

Any word about a possible final "open" dress rehearsal tonight like what they've done most previous tours.

RoKKeR · 04-30-2018, 04:30 PM

For all our bitching, can I just say how stoked I am about the return of the live monster that is Hold Me Thrill Me?

Could Hm tm km km be the intermission song like the wanderer and the fly were? Little worried after seeing the last rehearsal set list.

Not a chance in hell. No way you can play that song over the PA.

Nick66 · 04-30-2018, 04:49 PM

I wonder if Streets will be out longer than ASOH was in?

We actually should have a pool on which date/city Streets will re-renter the set list (assuming it really isn't there to start with).

prbiker15 · 04-30-2018, 04:53 PM

St. Louis or San Jose #2. I will be surprised if it’s out longer than that.

DeVaul · 04-30-2018, 04:59 PM

I could find myself ok without Streets if it meant I was getting a proper, full blast ASOH.

They gotta play something from JT in St. Louis.

I was getting mixed messages from that last report. We'll know for sure soon enough.

corianderstem · 04-30-2018, 06:04 PM

I'm fine with Hold Me etc being the little intermission ditty. We just had it in sets in 2011. Let's get sometihing else from that era.

I think it will be good for them to not play it for a few nights, if anything to remind them that this song is the absolute centre of every show they do. It's the singularity, it's the gravity, it's the sun that all the other songs revolves around. A U2 show without Streets can only aspire to be this high, no higher. They can't enter the stratosphere without Streets. Streets it the girlfriend that you don't miss until she's gone. And if she has to leave for a while for you to realise what hollow shell of a person you are without her, so be it. Then maybe you'll appreciate her more when she's back.

There was a time U2 could pull off a show without Streets, but no longer. It's their ace card, and to a certain extent a crutch. But let's put it this way....is there any scenario where a show is better without Streets than with it? No to that I say.

U2 not playing Streets is like putting on a production of Hamlet and deleting Act III Scene I. Almost every person who goes to a show and doesn't hear that song is going to leave disappointed on some level. And rightfully so. Go to a U2 show and leave with a lousy fucking app and no Streets? Yeah, well done lads.

^^^ I enjoyed reading that.

DeVaul · 04-30-2018, 08:56 PM

I actually bothered testing out my own playlist to check the thematic and musical flow and decided on:

Love is All We Have Left

The Blackout
Lights of Home
Beautiful Day
You're The Best Thing About Me
The Ocean
I Will Follow
Iris
Cedarwood Road
Landlady-SFS outro/snippet
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Raised by Wolves
UTEOTW
Acrobat

-HMTMKMKM/Gone-

The Showman
Vertigo
Desire
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Staring At The Sun

Pride
Get Out Of Your Own Way
("blessed are the shithole countries" into...) Red Flag Day
One
The Little Things (synthy outro into...)
Streets (synthy outro into...)
Love Is Bigger

And something, anything from Pop is still in there, although acoustic SATS is about the bare minimum they could do to represent it.
