1. Ya but after u open with that what do you do? You've now played you're best song and have no way to replicate that energy level for the rest of the show. Its like Springsteen opening with Badlands on his most recent tour. First song rocked it out and then the energy hit a valley until Born to Run at the end of the main set. U2 doesn't have another song equal to Streets to play later.

    This is all very off topic but it basically comes down to how you construct your setlist and show to provide the best experience, flow, and build for the fans and the band
  2. they aren't actually going to play it at glastonbury though are they? not quite sure how well it would work
  3. Ok this stream is BS.

    U2gigs says Stay. Also, Bono said they haven't played the song in 10 years, so this has to be a Vertigo show they are broadcasting. I'm cutting the stream.

    only thing i don't like about a song like EBTTRT opening is i think it would work better as an opener if there was more 'shock' value to it..

    instead of the whole stadium watching the band walk out, i think it would be better if they suddenly appeared as the first notes ring out..


    WGRYWH

    whoooooooo love it


    What?!?!?!?!?!

    i thought something was up when i heard magnificent and on u2gigs it said ISHF
  7. Yeah, fake, it's the same piece of shit who streamed MoS when they ennded with WOWY in Canada.
  8. U2gigs is reliable, no? What they've listed seems realistic/probable to me. It just doesn't have the usual AIWIY and Stay combo. Maybe we'll see (hear) the former later on in the set tonight. Closer?


  9. If your opinion is that those songs are on the same level as Streets live i respect it but i must strongly disagree


  10. gotta admit though, pretty funny to be trolling us

    I think U2gigs is fairly reliable. They band probably kept Stay for the acoustic song because it received better responses than Stuck has.
