    how about every night? its maybe a bit strange for an opener, but i feel it works


  2. actualy i dont if it works or not cuz i didnt go to any 360 show...
  3. In fact it would work, if most of the audience knew it. Since nowadays, the 80% of the people attending U2 shows are casual fans who've heard Magniicent, WOWY and One, and don't know the rest of the discography, Breathe has no impact. But the song itself is excellent, and very well performed live (not better than the album version, nor worst either).

    agree but they cant kick off with One (although they did at Brandenburg, which wasnt a very good choice imo) and Magnificent would be too 'easy'.

    Not sure i agree with that....unknown caller and no line seemed to be sung by large parts of the crowd, and UTEOTW was always extremely well received. I would say casual about 40%

    I think its a good opener as well, mainly due to Larry's intro...having said that I think that it will be replaced with a new song for the next legs

    mysterious ways also hugely


  7. I miss the solo, too. Didn't think of it when the belly dancer was on stage in Zagreb, though

    We're slightly OT.
  8. Came across my U2Start-shirt today and immediately had memories dating back to this song drum intro. Ah the memories...
