I Walk The Line Tribute Show

[bort269]

Here's the boys.

so this post was at 8:24pm...

I assume U2 comes on around 8:23pm... does it start right after a commercial break or are they after someone?

I just want to tape it as flawlessly as possible!
Thanks!!

 

[xaviMF22]

yea after a commercial break

 

[impy13]

Thanks, inmyplace13!

Is your name a reference to the Coldplay song? That song is so beautiful ... it just shimmers.

Yeah, good to hear someone not talking shit for once.

 

[Clawgrabber]

hell no...
that was purely intentional...

i guarantee they came up with that in rehearsal...

"hey what if we sang a bit of del shannon's runaway here?"
"alright, edge, but you do it. I can't hit those notes anymore"...

these guys have a jukebox in their heads...
after all, del shannon did have another song called "The Wanderer"

(as stated in my mistake above. HA!)

Tonite's setlist:
The Wanderer / Runaway (Snippet)

 

[bort269]

yea after a commercial break

Thanks!

Ohhhh, man!!! That was awesome!!! SOOOOOOO beautiful!! Very well done, maybe it was a bit synth heavy but still cool! I really liked The Edge's vocals. I love this sog so much, I can't believe it! I so much wish they play it tonight!!!!!!


I hope someone posts a video for it!!!

 

[typhoon]

Wow, downloaded the AAC, and this sounds great. People here bitch too much.

I second that. Sounds awesome indeed. Such a beautiful song.

[UnforgettableLemon]

I do think it sounds terriffic. Bono sounds great, too.

I agree - it sounds fantastic! I can't believe people are complaining about this! U2 fans have been waiting forever to hear Bono sing this - plus, most people assumed this song would never be performed live. I'm just happy it sounds so good!

 

[lazarus]

Not bad at all (I really need to SEE Edge doing those backing vocals), but will the REAL Zooropa ever rear its head? All we've had is an acoustic Stay, a pianoless First Time, and a "normal" reworking of The Wanderer.

What I wouldn't do for a balls-out dance party of Lemon, or a very dirty guitar Dirty Day...

Dion sang "The Wanderer"

Another interesting note, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were the band on Del Shannon's 1982 album "Get Down And Get Me." Petty produced it.

Petty and band were also on alot of Cash's most recent recordings.

 

[bort269]

Yeah, good to hear someone not talking shit for once.

dude, don't take any shit from anyone for loving Coldplay.

They are great and we should be so lucky to have new bands look to U2 for their inspirations!

All the work that Coldplay does to MAKE TRADE FAIR is extremely important!

yup. you got me there.
i have a very sparse knowledge of artists names from that era. but i know the songs well.

Dion. Hmm. Damn. Duly noted.

so much for "you can see why i was confused".
more like "i was just confused"

thanks for the tip.

My parents drilled all that early 60's pop/rock into my head when I was a child. That, and Doo-Wop.

 

[ZOOTB]

Loved it!! Hope they can keep it in the setlist for the rest of tour.

 

[macphisto07]

Overall, I liked it.

Who here really expects U2 to play the most pop version of The Wanderer they could think of, or do you think they get the urge to do something creative once in a while?

 

[typhoon]

It just showed here in Mountain Standard Time. Edge's falsetto was made for songs like this. I like how he does the bit at the end this time (he's been getting credit for it for 12 years, after all...).

Oh, and this means that "Some Days Are Better Than Others" is now the only Zooropa song never to be played live.

 

[Hoodlem]

Just saw it here in the mountain time zone.

That was absolutely amazing! I have been waiting 12 years to hear that. It did not dissapoint. I wish Egde's guitar had been a bit louder but it was awesome anyway. Love the "wa wa wa's". The whole time I was just overwhelmed by the fact that I was watching Wanderer performed live. Why don't they add this to the tour?

 

[joyfulgirl]

Joining the mountain timers in saying...wow.

 

[Zoomerang96]

ze link is kaput

neid a wanderer one

ha!

 

[david]

it would have been awesome if after they ended the song they waited about 30 seconds and then edge started playing a piercing sharp guitar chord over and over again..........

 

[amerrydeath]

damn!

 

[BVS]

Great...

Although I would have loved to hear Bono join Edge at the end...but oh well.

 

[Azor]

I loved it Great performance

 

[Pop Artist]

I liked it for the most part...quite liked Bono's vocals on this, appropriately restrained and pretty smooth. Really liked Edge at the end, but wasn't too keen on the wa-wa-wa-wa-wanderin' vocals, think it detracted from the song. Otherwise, very cool, and very cool they finally decided to perform it live.

 

[corianderstem]

I really liked that.

 

[Yahweh]

That was an amazing performance.....the best of that show by far and I was expecting them to play the song but I didnt expect them to play it that good...that would be a great closing song for every show!

 

[Zoomerang96]

this song needs to be played on tour.

it's as beautiful as songs get.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

It'll be played on tour.

...at least by leg 5 NA Stadium Tour Summer '06.
