Boston #4 setlist party

[ClaytonsKitten]

The fact that Bonos struggling with Every Breaking Wave already may mean it becomes this tour's New York....gone in Europe

What they oughta do is perform it as a full band arrangement. Give the others a chance to carry Bono and eliminate the need for the full on high octane vocals every night.

How about replacing EBW with Sleep like a Baby? That guitar solo at the end and the slow drums, and then right into Bullet, a la vertigo tour and SBS?

If they do that they might as well keep WOWY and do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfsMg2mzCVQ

Second half of the show still needs a lot of work. COBL is sticking out like a sore thumb.

Also, am I the only who loves the megaphone on the Bullet verses?

 

[corianderstem]

I haven't listened to this song via stream in a while - has Bono been doing the megaphone for the whole song regularly?

I'd like that. And that's coming from someone who loves EBW.

 

[Axver]

Hey he actually got two lines of Shine Like Stars right tonight! "We'll shine like stars and it'll be alright" was a common variation in the eighties.

I'm stoked it's back. It's the moment to which WOWY builds and it completes the live version for me. Since WOWY's a set fixture it's something he can do regularly as well, with no real need for the band to do rehearsals or whatever.

But I agree I'd take a total rarity - e.g. ASOH, obviously - over a bonus verse. It's just that takes plenty of rehearsal and is only likely to show up really infrequently, so I'll take what I can get with Shine Like Stars.

he did it yesterday. it hasn't been a regular thing though

I dig it.

The megaphone in Bullet started in Denver, right? Just after the LA shows

 

[U2zoobaby]

My pod speaker battery just died. Grrrr

 

[FazeCraze]

This is my third party and I'm feeling more comfortable. So there's something I need to share. Here it comes...I don't like Bullet. I said it!

Did it for the first time yesterday.

I think it sounds bad ass.

no megaphone , but yes to Edge's solos (not the current ones but ones that he's been playing since ZooTV)

 

[Nate Dogg]

Who else in rock music does the megaphone thing? Besides Bono and Scott Weiland?

Act 2 is what I'd imagine an albumless tour would look like (cough Songs of Experience cough)

Michael Stipe was doing it in 1989 on the Green tour, for "Turn You Inside Out."

Arcade Fire uses one for some backing vocals from time to time.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

I'd like that. And that's coming from someone who loves EBW.

everyone thinks Sleep Like a Baby would fall flat live but I disagree, I think it would work. especially if Edge played around a bit. Bono wouldn't have to sing in falsetto, he didn't totally sing Lemon in falsetto on ZooTV

Edge is doing different stuff during Bono's ending rant tonight, I like this

R.E.M. (Orange Crush, Turn You Inside Out), Flaming Lips (The WAND) and Phish (Fee) come to mind.

I got tired of it on Elevation and Vertigo. Glad it got a rest on 360

Pssh. Talk to me when he starts making origami during EBW.

It almost sounds like something, but I couldn't quite place it.

 

[FazeCraze]

Thank you and goodnight!
