SPOILER - Rehearsals at Camp Nou // Central Thread

Originally posted by pesto:i do agree with some of the pop sentiments im seeing...towards the end of popmart those songs were amazing. mofo still remains one of my favourite live songs. i think the band is so hard on themselves concerning pop that they tend to stay away from it, gone was great live also.

for anyone who hasnt dabbled too much in popmart (i know this is a u2 fan forum for a bootleg site ) you must get the santiago show

i am a bit upset yeah! i was really hoping that there would be a bit more variation after the similarity of the last two tours but it seems pretty much more of the same...

i am also a realist and i'm not asking for bsides like promenade etc! all i'm saying is there's a LOT of songs that are still commercial and wouldn't disappoint or bore the casuals HMTMKMKM, EBTTRT, Lemon etc etc etc that havn't been played for absolutely years that they could easily have brought back to give us something fresh that a lot of us never got hear live or havn't heard for years...

it is massively disappointing... i remember a time when U2 weren't all that interested in just pleasing the masses and actually liked to challenge people who went to see them Live...

I think (hope) the NLOTH songs should keep them and us interested. They're still getting used to playing those songs in addition to re-learning UV etc. I think I'd rather have well-rehearsed and spot-on performances of the new material than poorer performances of random older songs just for the sake of playing them.
I've got wish lists and complaints, but when it comes time for the actual concert, I'll be happy with whatever they play.

there is still some time to go mate. they might still bring back some oldies. and they will keep on playing this tour in 2010.

I don't know if I mentioned it before, but U2 were given a special room inside the Camp Nou to rehearsal, the rehearsals that have been rerported are only the SOUNDCHECKS, this is, the audio set-ups of the stadium, levels, reverbs and such things. They might play 30 times Vertigo and the soundcheck would be equalliy valid for them. They are not (neccesarely) rehearsing new material for the tour. They are just warming up and setting things up with "random" material (most of it will be part of the tour obviously, but don't see what it all is).
