Tour: Innocence and Experience tour
Songs played: 25
Audio recordings: 5
Videos: 1
  1. Wow, Gloria sounds very good. Really hope they'll keep that one in
    Crystall Ballroom really needs some work, don't really like this performance. I also think the rotation spot doesn't ''deserve'' such a great song, CB needs his own spot (COBL? MW, EBTTRT?)
  2. Good point, Remy! I can still say I was at the show with the most snippets in the shortest setlist!
  3. It has a higher snippets-per-song ratio indeed

    There's one that has always bothered me, Love and Peace or Else on 2005-09-21 had a Crumbs From Your Table snippet. Maybe you could persuade the guys at u2gigs to include it?

    And also the Vertigo drum intro for OOC in Chicago 2

    Oooh. Good call. On both...

  6. U2gigs is missing many snippets in their archives. Once I thought of compiling all we can find and write them about it, but I forgot.

    COBL... Take out the Hawking speech and just rock the shit of the crowd with TCB
  8. But are THTBA and Mother & Child Reunion really snippets? Isn't a snippet the reference of song b within song a, and sung over the melody of song b? The examples I used have the correct melody to their lyrics, only shortend (like an exerpt really).
  9. Bono only sings a chorus of Hands That Built America, it lasts like 20 seconds.**

    Mother and Child Reunion plays over the synth track for Streets. Both are snips.

    **Bono saying "Don't shoot...I'm an American. I can't breathe....I'm an American." is the most emotional and politically charged part of the entire show. There has not been one night out of the four where that hasn't given me head-to-toe chills. It is an extremely powerful message between Bullet and Pride. Easily their most poignant live message in a decade.
  10. For those who aren't aware, those relate to very specific police brutality cases in America over the last 6 or so months, where American police officers have killed American citizens in apparently harmless situations.
