  1. They'd never strip their loops, much as I'd love them to as well. Bad, Streets, Elevation, One, With or Without You...some of their all time biggest hits don't work at all without them, and I'm okay with that. Though I woullllld be anxious to hear how WOWY and maybe even Bad would sound without their loops. Did One have a loop on the ZooTV tour?
  2. Not sure about loops on One but I have a feeling it did. That was about the best One ever, 'cept for the little show with Pavarotti. Beautiful. I don't like the song myself but that was out of this world.

    I'd love an all-acoustic show of just the deeper stuff - like Celebration, Two Hearts, Gloria, Miracle Drug, Breathe, The Playboy Mansion etc. Really the songs that can be played acoustic, and no big hits, maybe more like the band could do a Storytellers-type special. Introduce how the songs came about and play them and they can play to a smaller audience, but interact too. I've always wondered too what Miami would sound like unplugged. Might sound strange but it'd be cool.

    WOWY would sound good without the loops and keys, if I'm hearing it right. Watching cool old live stuff on Youtube...some fantastic stuff.
  3. WOWY would be incredibly intimate without the loops, I think. It's too much of a "spectacle", too much magic going on. They should touch base with the heart of that song again.

    Very very early WOWY (talking opening shows of JT) were played without the loop.
  5. I'm gonna have to check that out...do you have any specific recommendations for shows?
  6. Bono might actually sing it stripped back. ''Does he sing this song?''

    Go for 1987-06-27 and 1987-11-07. Far as I can remember, they're both good shows.


  7. 04-04 Tempe i'm pretty sure of.

    edit : That's the correct show. The loop seems to die after half a second. Sounds lovely without it.

  8. If only Bono's voice was up to it


  12. Yeah, Tempe. I always get Tempe and Tampa mixed up
