    4. California
    5. Mysterious Ways

    Where would you go from there?

    He also suggests that the band have been working hard on the Miracle Drug -> Streets combination.


    I don t see EBTTRT played so early on the show. I like Invisible to poen .
    Anyway for me they will open with Miracle . Not bad Desire ( electric) there and California ...MW

    Song for someone could work fine to close the show IMO
  3. DONT SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!!! Bono mentioned it months ago, I hope he changed his mind haha
  4. he said that beacuse i said it first

    The only thing i ask is that they play full band not acoustic
  5. Yeah, the full band rehearsal sounds pretty good even for a boring song like that
  6. How far into the tour before Bono says "here's a new one we're working on" and then plays something off SOE?
  7. On first night.. I hope
  8. hahahaa you have to take a sign asking for this and sure you will be lucky ( sure they will play it like Bruce Springsteen always do)

    I think open with Miracle and close with Invisible!

    I was open to opening with Cedarwood Road also.
  10. I hope they play the album version of Every Breaking Wave. It seems like they did rehearse it the first days, but then reverted to the piano version

    (Not to mention the classics they've been playing for 15/20/25/30+ years already)


    Watch the Clinton birthday show from 2011 (Bono & Edge) to see how good they are Edge fucks up Sunday bloody Sunday (forgets about the G chord) and Staring at the sun. Most of the acoustic stuff on the Elevation tour is full of mistakes. It took Bono ages to remember how Walk on goes on the 36 tour - I was at two shows where he fucked it up - Adam was amused but Edge and Larry weren't impressed

    U2 have to work very hard to be good. I hope by the time they come to Europe they'll have had enough practice shows
