  1. ok let's try it

    Bono and edge stroll on stage and knock out stories for boys, gloria and two hearts beat as one. Any thoughts?
  2. i can't speak i would definetely not be at a U2-baptism hehehe

    i guess my thought is obvious and clear though

    That's what I was meaning. If they had done it at my first show, on my 15th birthday, I think I would have been somewhere between thrilled and pissed... Thrilled to see a part of the band and pissed to see only a part of the band.

    You chose 2 of my least favorite songs by the way, if I were to choose 3 rarities not-too-amazing, I'd choose Stories For Boys, A Sort Of Homecoming and The First Time, for example.


    I guess it's different with Bruce since he's the absolute head and obviously most important member of his band, though.

    i would give up the main show for a pre-set like that! .. oh well the Homecoming would be enough
  5. Starting a concert like Springsteen sometimes does is not a way for U2 opening a concert, I think.

    The way for U2 is increasing up the "voltage" in the stadium with the music on the speakers, the intro and then a big BANG.
  6. but what Bruce does is not another way to start a concert .. it's just an extemporized extra

  7. Personally I do not like so much the solo opening of a concert.
  8. that's another issue

    example Padova .. you don't like the start with Tom Joad solo acoustic it's ok .. i loved it
    but what about the pre-set (regardless of the songs played) that happened 2hours and half - 3hours before the concert started?
  9. ^ that is what I (think) I (would) dislike. Opening a concert solo is another matter and depending on the song and the concert circumstances it can be amazing.
  10. here we go again, cork

    Pre-Show:
    1. I'll Work for your Love
    2. Girls in their Summer Clothes
    3. Real World (piano)

    here's how the rest of the gig will pan out

    first 7-10 songs you'd probably kill for
    11+ darkness or bitusa = time to kill yourself
    usual ending of main set

    usual encores probably including one oddity

    game over
  11. And a great time for the people in the stadium, which is what probably matters to Bruce and his guys
  12. oh that's where i've been going wrong. I thought he was only interested in my opinion and nothing else.
