  1. Just listening to a couple of 360 shows lately...

    How do we rate the Walk On/You'll Never Walk Alone segue?

    I personally think it's not the worst but certainly not the best either.

    Still Bad---->40---->Streets during Elevation for me.
  2. Originally posted by yeah:My favourite is Please-Streets, fits seamlessly, amazing vocals by Bono.

    As for the next tour, I'd like to see Streets get a break, the song is worn out since Popmart...


    Hardly.
  3. Originally posted by aussiemofo:Ever since the Joshua Tree Tour, Where the Streets Have No Name has been U2's most powerful live weapon. It's the Everest of crowd excitement and energy and has a unique ability to unite an entire audience. Most fans walk away from U2 shows and look back at that song as one of the concert highlights. Edge's brilliant intro combined with Larry's amazing beat gets the crowd going every time, but it's the song immediately preceding and the quality of the segue which often has a bearing on how Streets is received in a live performance. Two questions...what is your favourite 'lead in' song to Streets and which current song would you like to see segued into Streets?

    For me, my favourite is Bad/40/Psalm 116 (during Elevation Tour) followed closely by Running to Stand Still (during ZooTV).

    And I would love to see City of Blinding Lights lead in to Streets on the next tour. I think COBL really lends itself to a great little segue into Streets.

    What do you think?


    COBL- Streets will and should never happen.

    Too much dotted delay sound.

  4. I take it you've come across Edge's guitar work before...?

    i like the walk on bit but they could have dragged it out longer i think - built it up a bit more etc...

    for me it will always be running to stand still - harmonica solo - streets during zootv very closely followed by please into streets on popmart..

    don't think it will ever get any better than that
  7. Obviously wont happen on tour now (well maybe Glasto aside) but the best lead into Streets is none at all! Opening with Streets is the greatest thing ever.

    The scene from Modena in 87 is utterly amazing - total bedlam when they nail it. Give me the 90 second 'synth' intro anyday of the week.
  8. +1 to Pedro, completely +1
  9. well yeah no lead into streets is the original and best but... nevermind
  10. I still love the idea of One Tree Hill-----Streets. That last outro for OTH would be over the organ intro and as soon as Bono finshes the "Run to the sea" line the guitar intro for streets kicks in.
  12. I think is better Please-Where The Streets Have No Name
