  1. Me too, for the reason you mentioned and also the line 'where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die'. There's more to it than that but I love that line. Another great song we'll probably never get to hear live again.

    I loved the fact that they re-used that sentence, which is indeed fantastic, for the Mother And Child Reunion visuals in the I&E Tour.

    I wonder if AtU2 could mark it as a constant "Crumbs From Your Table (snippet) / Mother And Child Reunion (snippet)" combo for the whole tour in their database
  4. was 'crumbs...' ever played live? i think my head would spin if i heard that song live.
  6. IYWTVD .
    Totally underrated
    As is The Playboy Mansion
  7. So Cruel
    Wake Up Dead Man
    Wild Honey
  8. Love Is Blindness is one of their best songs EVER, no question, and their best show closer ("40", of course, has its own special status as THE closer, so it doesn't really count). Love Is Blindness is probably my favourite U2 song to hear live, and one of my favourites overall. But...

    I don't really mind that it hasn't been played since ZooTV. It was perfect for ZooTV, and the thing about it is that it wouldn't fit anywhere except the closer (and yes, I know that Can't Help Falling In Love TECHNICALLY closed most of the ZooTV shows, but c'mon - Love Is Blindness was the closer, Can't Help Falling In Love was a coda to it). Most tours have their own closers. i+e and PopMart were the only ones that kind of didn't (Vertigo had variety but it was generally Yahweh+"40" or Vertigo again), and Love Is Blindness would NOT work on i+e, at least not with the 'innocence' theme for the show. On PopMart... it MIGHT have worked, but I'm still not so sure. That's one of the relatively few U2 songs that I feel was very much of its era (not to say it hasn't aged well, because it has, and of course I would lose my mind if they brought it back). It was a song of and for ZooTV, and it's ok with me if that's where it'll stay.
  9. Originally posted by RUMMY:I don't know if one would call these "underrated" but songs like A Sort of Homecoming, Love Is Blindness, God Pt 2, and Dirty Day are certainly underplayed. It's almost criminal that these songs have been pretty much been shelved for good since the tours they were originally played on.

    Totally agree. ASOH and LIB are two of my favorite U2 songs, Dirty Day was a highlight of Zoo TV in 93, and God Part II should come back as part of the set list this summer!
  10. I love Some Days Are Better Than Others and The Three Sunrises. Both are severely underrated.
  11. the bass line in Some Days is beautiful

    I think they can play it anywhere in setlist. Maybe in a shortened version more similiar to the album one, or in an acustic version (I mean, they did it with SBS, and if there was a song out of contest in PopMart, it was that song). Just like Please. I was a bit disappointed when none of the two was dropped back after the Paris' attacks (and the concert right after was in BELFAST!!).
