    Oh believe me, my eyes got slightly teary when I was first imagining this. To see the very band I love and found immesnse inspiration in creativley to say goodbye was like seeing your beloved one go away forever. But oddly enough the lyrics to MLK is quite epic yet consoling:

    Sleep, sleep tonight
    And may your dreams be realized
    If the thundercloud, passes rain
    So let it rain, raind down on "you"
    (just for the sake of the crowd)

    It's like a final ode from Bono and U2 to wish to the fans and everyone in the world that despite that they'll be gone, their music will never die and that they'll always be there with us, in thier music. It's epic yet strangly morbid to think about, but it's true in a way. Someday that's gonna happen.

    Is it funny that I was just looking at my post and found that I said "tears in Bono's ears"?


    Do you guys think they'll actually have a final concert? Or do you think they'll sort of finish a tour and then decide that that was that? Adam said it himself, they can only go for so long before health risks start becoming an issue, and they've already started (Bono's back).
  2. it's a terrifying question imo, but............

    it has to be MOFO, but pay attention: at a Deafening, ear-shattering volume, with Blinding stroboscope lightening..

    can you see it? MOFO the armageddon version (15:39 min)

    and then after that terrifying but spiritual MOFO Armageddon version, there will be complete and utter silence among the 90.000 in the crowd. U2 walk off the stage quietly and tears stream down peoples faces, but still you can hear pins drop, that's how silent it will be.

    And the procession out of the stadium is also in complete silence. And there are glorious reviews afterwards (" U2 ends Livecarreer with Mother F***ing 45 song- 4,5 hour set" ).

    And for years after that final moment, the beach in that tiny place in the south of France is constantly crowded with an avareage of 10.000 people all hoping to see a glimpse or hear a beachsnippet, but the silence from the house of the Hewson/ Evans family will continue until eternity.

    Am I getting carried away here?
  4. It has to be Streets. Or a second Streets, just because they can play Streets twice in the same concert and have it be moving each time.

    Why are we talking like this LOL - I know it will happen one day, but not just yet!


    I second this idea. I think it has to be 40. I think after they all walk off though they onstage come back onstage together for a final goodbye together though. The four of them together is what we all love for all these years. They should leave as they started. Together as One

    A lot of people have said that. While the gesture itself would have a sense of finality to it, the song itself doesn't really at all. I think 40 would be best, if not that, than Streets.


    In my opinion, one of those 2 (40 and OoC) is going to be the last one





  7. I think we can narrow it down to one of 3 songs:
    1) Streets
    2) 40
    3) Out of Control

    Personally I think it has to be Out of Control... Where is all started

    Same opinion here, but they have good reasons to play one of those 3 songs for sure!
  9. While 40 gives that immense sense of ultimate closure with the band leaving the stage one by one, I bet people thought that 40 would be the song to sign off the Vertigo Tour, especially since it was a regular closer.

    I actually want them to sign off the 360 Tour with Kite.
    I know that this is not goodbye.

    After thinking about it, I can see no better way to close than that.
  10. Gone
  11. Wild Irish Rose.
  12. Seems like a song (no pun intended) that would be played in a "final battle" scene of a movie, I could see it work

    I think it'll be something like this:
    Close main set like this - Kite - Gone - Acrobat - Walk On
    Come back for and encore - Bad - Streets - Out of Control
    Just when you think that the song that started it all ended it all - 40
    Originally posted by PageU2:40! No question for me should be the very closer of U2's last show!

    I imagine Bono waving goodbye to the audience, tears in his ears, then Adam, then Edge, until Larry is left. Then he pounds the absolute heck out of the drums for the final time and finally hits his snare HARD, before dropping his sticks and leaving, all to the chants of "How Looooong, to sing this song, How loooooooooong... "

    Although I can imagine Bono coming back and singing MLK as a parting lulliby. Now THAT would be epic.
