Hi y'all,
just post here the the "best U2 concert" setlist-wise, and give a brief explanation why. Simply "I was there" might not be too satisfying, okay? As a reference page, you might look at www.u2-vertigo-tour.com
Though my heart is still banging loudly for the beutiful, beautiful second show in Auckland (with I Still haven't Found.../In A Little While, Angel Of Harlem, Walk On/You'll Never Walk Alone, Bad/'40', The Saints Are Coming, Desire - and, of course, an unforgettable One Tree Hill) I'll vote for another show: the third night in U2's Hometown:
Dublin, 27th June 2005
1. Vertigo (the usual European stomping opener)
2. All Because Of You (nice spot for the rocker, usually buried
by the band in the encore)
3. Gloria (together with "The Electric Co." one of the
great early song rediscoveries)
4. Elevation/The Boys (in this live gem a perfect snippet for the
Are Back In Town celebrated homecoming of U2)
5. An Cat Dubh (one of the other surprises from the early
days - "for the Irish in here", not only!
6. Into The Heart (a nice moment of reflection and the magic
of classic U2 sounds - pure emotion!)
7. Beautiful Day (the standard Greatest Hits rocker ...
8. Blackbird (... linked with a The Beatles snippet
with the spirit of civil rights' movement)
9. I Still Haven't (Beautiful spot for a beautiful song, an
Haven't Found ... immortal U2 anthem for everybody)
10. Original Of (another surprise with this "new"
The Species anthem - pure U2 with a lot of soul)
11. Bad/ Dirty Old Town (one of the great, now rarely played
U2 live tracks with a fitting snippet)
12. City Of Blinding (a classic track from the "new" album
linking to the next part of the show)
13. Miracle Drug (another great song from the tour's
album, unfortunately gone in 2006)
14. Sometimes You (the core of the gig with Bono musically
Can't .../Black Hills ... remembering Bob - and the funeral)
15. Love And Peace (the dark tune from HTDAAB, played in
Or Else the middle Croke Park and of the set)
16. Sunday Bloody (WAR's hymn fighting against violence,
Sunday performed, where it all happened ...)
17. Bullet.../ Johnny .../ (the next anti-war protest tune ...)
The Hands .../Please
18. Running To Stand .../ (linked with its TJT counterpart,
Happy Birthday/ Walk On dedicated to a brave woman ...)
19. Pride (the classic TUF hymn ...)
20. Where The Streets ... (followed by the classic from TJT ...)
21. One (... with the AB classic as the finale ...)
22. Unchained Melody (...ended with a nice, nice B-Side cover
version from 1988)
- 1st ENCORE-
23. Zoo Station (flashes back in time, long missed
sounds - ZOO TV ruled again!)
24. The Fly (back in the sets from 1992/93!)
25. With Or Without You (always beautiful, though too much
a mass crowd-pleaser these days)
- 2nd ENCORE-
26. Vertigo/ (a fulminant second rendition, diving
Stories For Boys back into the early roots of "U2 3")
27. Yahweh (coming to an end, Croke Park dreams
with HTDAAB musical landscapes)
28. '40' (and after 2h40+min U2 close their
longest show ever in the best way:
"How long to sing this song...?" -
forever, I hope)
