does anyone know how magnificent will be played? will edge play the keys/piano or the guitar? i know he will no doubt do the solo on the guitar.
Maybe it's just that I'm over Streets, I don't know. Though I've always considered Bad to be on a live plane above Streets, even when I was in love with Streets. I'm not necessarily talking in terms of crowd reactions, just in terms of what song consistently defines all the best aspects of a U2 concert .. the epic climax of Bad is something Streets just can't match, even with its famous intro.
Wow great great setlist, but im not sure playing a remix is that great, id rather have them doing the original EBTTRT but ok.U2Barcelona site (U2 Barcelona - Links) has the following rehearsal set list for today:
Breathe
No Line On The Horizon
Get On Your Boots
Magnificent
Beautiful Day
I still have't found what I'm looking for
Drowning Man
Bad
In a little while
Angel of Harlem
Bono's speech
Unknown Caller
Unforgettable Fire
Even better than the real thing (Perfecto mix with full band playing)
City of Blinding lights
Pride
MLK (during Desmon Tutu speech)
Where the streets have no name
Ultraviolet
With or without you
Walk on
Vertigo
Crazy Tonight
Moment of Surrender
MOS is the perfect gig closer.
It's because the only live shows you have seen had the neutered africa version
I still don't get it, don't mean to be rude, but:
Summer 2008, almost no person knows that Bono is in his house at the beach in france when he play the unreleased album. Fans outside recorded it.
Summer 2009, almost every person know that U2 is in the stadium and do rehearsals, almost no one is recroded it.
Isnt is strange? I realy hope that they open the next tour in a country where people know how to use their camera and cellphones...
Is it realy so that no one have recorded more then those 5 audio clips from the first rehearsal night, pre-recorded Pride(youtube) and Walk On(youtube)?

Uh, no.
You don't know that. Streets lost a lot of its punch with the new intro.

Here's an article about U2 in Barcelona from today's Irish Independent ... they mention Fez Being Born being played - if only!!!
U2: Access all areas - Music, Entertainment - Independent.ie
Like the looks of that setlist I'd be happy with it
And I agree with Axver - throw in A Sort of Homecoming too
I second this.
A Sort of Homecoming + Streets + Bad = Ultimate live performance by any band dead or alive. In my humble opinion.
Would be interesting to see how Bono could translate to the present day the passion and urgent emotions from ASoH and Bad.
Mullen talks about an extended acoustic set in the middle, about revisiting songs from Achtung Baby and never-before-played gems from early in their career
BAD! :fuckyeah:
As far as I'm concerned, Bad is U2's definitive live song, not Streets. Thrilled to see it appear in rehearsals. Now come on U2, rehearse A Sort Of Homecoming and you'll be bringing the UF lovefest in an ideal way.
Also, EBTTRT? Played in Perfecto Mix style?

sound is low and distant from outside, taping attempts have been done but all i heard was crap
Someone on U2eastlink has posted audio of Walk on and Crazy Tonight from yesterday's rehearsals. Says Bono's voice sounds very good. Says Moment of Surrender was the last song, it sounded good but they seem to be still working on the beginning of the song.

Un-neuter Streets- bring back the orange backdrop and raise every house light when the song kicks in...guaranteed to be the highlight of any show...
i really hope DM isn't being rehearsed as acoustic.
the fact they are playing this at all should be the focus...we shouldn't complain yet on "how" it should be played
