The U2 warm up threads

Lucky bugger.

Crappy scheduling though. What kinda git assembles a line up like that the weekend of the Big G?

[tevaburger]

Wooderson did. I didnt. Although I did get through to the payment page.

Exploring another route anyway, same way I got ticks last year, friend of a friend etc.

I see BB King is headlining Australia's Bluesfest - be nice if he does festivals in the UK, (instead of playing gigs the same weekend as Glastonbree ), and was on the bill at Glastonbury (say Jazzworld West Holts) and then we could get a live version of 'When Love Comes To Town'

Sorry if it's been said before, but I was reading page one and wasn't really concentrating....

Suddenly realised that this thread is almost a year old!!

That's definitely a first (I think) - should we have a party?

I think I'm starting to show my age with some of my choices. 5-10 yrs ago, my list would have been much more heavily focused on the edgier War material.

loads on here seem to like the Batman song...I just never got into it.

"The War Album" as its called by the U2 nerds.

I like the Batman song, I like the riff and the line [i]"You dont know what you're doing, babe it must be art".

[Wooderson]

Love and Peace or Else

[tevaburger]

saw the Mothers of the Disappeared this afternoon (Thursday) at their 'every Thursday' silent demonstation at the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires. it was very touching, incredible experience.

I tried to ask one of the 17 ladies if she could completely confirm Digi's solid confirmaation from month's back that the lads are on for the friday, but they didn't understand my English.

back to the malbec...

Last show of the tour in Perth from last Sunday night including a 7-song stretch in the middle that would go down smooooooth in Pilton in 6 months.

No "Bad" or "Pride" but I would be delighted if the lads trotted something similar on the Pyramid.

[Gregcharlie]

If they'd played this year then you could have guaranteed '40' to be in the setlist. Not so certain now

[Wooderson]

Would go down a mega treat! In A Little While!! Yes sir.

[Wooderson]

"Carnival...

The wheels fly and the colors spin,

Through alcohol...

Red wine that punctures the skin,

Face to face...

In a dry and waterless place"

[russycarps]

the good news is another year has passed so the chances are they will be more inclined to drop a song or two from their lastest album off the setlist. I really do think this set will be a pure greatest hits set.

Bad is going to happen.

October is going to happen.

I have foreseen it.
