Angel of Harlem and Bad do not make up for lack of new material????
I beg to differ...
Strictly speaking ... no. Because they are classics and have been played many times.
BUT I'm still loving the set and I'm happy they brought these two songs back.
Just saying that they shouldn't drop new songs to bring "old" songs back.
"Bono lets himself fall backward into the crowd"
WHHHUUUUUUTTTT????
ETA: I call bull shit on this one. But if not, I want pics NAO!!!
What does the baby say? "Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing we can do"?
The band all had some Champagne that Bono had sprayed during Vertigo. They drank a sip onstage, though I think Adam's glass was filled with water.What's with the sudden uptake in applause?
Okay, so yeah, that's quite a bit different than the original "Bono falls backward into crowd" or whatever the Tweet was from yesterday.
Cori, I think the clip just displays this moment. Bono doesn't "jump" into the crowd (security wouldn't let him anyway ... those guys looked frantic!), but there's a brief moment where he leans backwards (hello, bad back ) into the crowd. Anyway, that's more direct contact with the audience than he's had for a very long time.
Well, I think we are coming from different places regarding this point.It was another great show yesterday. I was 3rd row center, so an excellent spot. Had a great time, together with a cousin (or rather, wife of a cousin) and her sister. It was the first U2 show for my cousin's wife (and the 1st GA for her sister, having seen them first last year in Amsterdam).
BTW, some more snippets being played: Rain after Beautiful Day (so the snippet after One was more like a reprise ) and Many Rivers To Cross after ISHFWILF (Bono messed it up a bit). The band was quite loose, at times rather sloppy. But they had a great time and so had we.
I completely agree with Last Unicorn. I really wanted to hear the new songs (North Star, Mercy, Every Breaking Wave) and/or Mothers Of The Disappeared. These four are songs I've never heard before, unlike Angel Of Harlem and Bad (hence me not including Glastonbury in the new song list, heard it at the Hannover concert). Instead, the new songs were dropped for two classics that have been played many times before. So yeah, personally speaking Bad and Angel Of Harlem do not make up for lack of new material.
I understand your viewpoint and Last Unicorn's. Mine is different. Surely we can find common ground...if not, then let's agree to disagree
Bad.... Anji will be pleased
OMG Jem, wild, GG & anji & Louanne
must be freaking right
Wonder if we could talk a certain someone into this?
Agreed on Every Breaking Wave. Hey, we found common ground. Wait a sec...we found common ground on Every Breaking Wave?! Ha, that is funny!!No problem here I'm all for them adding Bad and other songs to the set, even if these songs are not new, but I just think it's a shame they drop the new stuff for it and not some of the old songs who get played as staples this tour. I really expected them to play at least one of the very new songs, like Every Breaking Wave, but the set is fine for me. I just hope it isn't an indication for the tour's general developement, dropping more and more new songs and adding more old songs, I'd hate to see that.
Personally, I wouldn't hearing Bad in Rome
