BWU2Buffs
War Child
There was enough response to the concept post, so here goes: (and boy, do I feel like a bit of a dork)
For starters, please recognize that the following parameters are designed to ensure relative fairness (which seems silly in a fan forum) and enable the quickest possible entry(s) comparison in Excel. It’s my spare time, it will be fun, but with career and family I need to do everything possible to minimize the time investment – just in case people respond to this in a big way.
OK, enough whining.
Forward your Opening Night set list virus free in Word or Excel (preferred) to bcwgobuffs@yahoo.com.
Please utilize the song abbreviations noted below as much as possible… they are a bit longer than than common abbreviations posted on Interference –, but easier on me, and again this will help me compare entries faster.
Two entries max – include your Interference ID.
Include a song number, your setlist in order, and note the songs you see as Encore Number 1, 2, and 3…(Sample below)
B-Stage / full band – irrelevant – there are enough variables to keep track of as it is.
Closest to the songs played, song count, and songs in order including encores will “win”
Partial songs won’t count – i.e. if Bono sings two verses of Peace on Earth as a way to wrap up Bad, the “song” will only be Bad – again, there are enough variables.
Please submit by March 20th.
If you see any obvious set list / and ‘contest parameter’ nuances, speak up now, otherwise I serve as the head geek to determine who ‘wins’
