I love the idea of an orchestra playing with U2, would probably be on the main stage as the old Lovetown stage part has a left and right side for musicians

I thought it's some synths in Troubles, but it doesn't matter lol...
You're right about 2001 acoustic versoin of Please... just the Baltimore one was great (electric full band - sadly there is not good sounding bootleg). But single version has some strings in at the start and the end and during the soli together with the guitar could be good too. Definitely would depend on arrangements

That would be brilliant.

I once saw one of my favorite Spanish bands (Vetusta Morla) do a show like this:

5 strictly acoustic songs
+
13 songs with an orchestra
+
4 songs in standard electric format

And, let me tell you, it was fucking mindblowing. The difference is that it was a 1,500 people theatre instead of a 15,000 people arena An arena would be bored halfway through the orchestra set and it wouldn't work that well for U2. But a more balanced set, like [7 acoustic + 9 orchestra + 8 electric] would work beautifully for them (and for us).

Originally posted by Alvin:Yes... first time on Elevation tour was full band electric and then they screw it witj acoustic performances
