Disgreed. I know lots of people hate this transition, but I can't see anything wrong in it. In fact, I like it.
Despite the final set matches with the "making the difference for one day" theme, I was not expecting to see songs like Vertigo. It could've been something like BD/Pride/One or MD/Streets/One, or maybe including Crumbs (it's not one of my fav songs, but it would've work there) in the set.

Or they could've just brought Bad back. That would've been awesome.

Axver said:
Desire and Angel Of Harlem are great live songs too, but neither them nor Vertigo seem appropriate for Live 8.

It's barely a transition at all! The two songs don't flow together, and it just comes off as so forced and unnatural to me. It doesn't have the cohesion that Please/Streets or 11OTT/The Ocean or numerous other segues have had.
I agree with this though. The main reason I call the set crap is because of Vertigo - regardless of whether or not it was a hit, I think it was not a very good choice for that day. I don't like One, but there's no way to avoid the fact U2 would've played that come hell or high water, so I'll leave that out of my complaint. Beautiful Day can be passed off as being a good song to open a day of hope, but Vertigo?
U2 didn't need to play their recent hit. Consider Live Aid: Bad ran overtime and the band never got the chance to play their recent hit, Pride. And that was the show that cemented U2's reputation! U2 don't need hits. I think they should've gone with Crumbs From Your Table - a recent, thematically appropriate song (of course, they would've had to have started playing it live earlier, because it's not as if they would want to debut a song live at Live 8!). Or they could've just brought Bad back. That would've been awesome.

problem with that is the audience aint u2 fans generally are they ? so you need summat maybe more MTV.

Live Aid didn't make them legendsAxver said:
No you don't. They didn't in 1985. A non-single cemented their status as legends.
Salome said:Live Aid didn't make them legends
it merely made the general public really notice them
prideofzootv said:very few people knew it yes, but alot of people then tuned in when Bono jumped off stage and gave the Edge a long solo, alot of people started to like it, it was the first song i heard by U2, and it was that song from Live Aid that turned me into a U2 fan, im sure lots of other people who saw that long version back then went "wow i want to see more of them"

pepokiss said:what was the last song of the Live 8 special?
