Boston Uncommon

What does U2 have planned for Boston? Something unusual, if their soundcheck is any indication. Our girl on the scene reports hearing the band soundcheck “Crumbs from Your Table” and “Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses” this afternoon.

  1. I’ve been getting ready for Europe for months now! 😉

    These songs were also on that snapshot setlist couple of weeks ago, so they must have rehearsed them before…

  3. Yes! Yes!
    Ok, here we go: My suggestion for Europe would be:

    1 City of blinding lights
    2 Vertigo
    3 A day without me
    4 Gloria
    5 Crumbs from you table
    6 Kite
    7 All because of You
    8 Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
    9 Gone
    10 Who’s gonna ride your wild horses
    11 A sort of Homecoming
    12 Stay
    13 One Tree Hill
    14 Exit
    15 Miracle drug
    16 The Fly
    17 Electrical Storm

    ———–
    18 Love and Peace or Else
    19 Even Better than the Real thing
    20 Spanish Eyes
    21 Ultra violet

    ———–
    22 One (with snippets of YAWEH)
    23 Please
    24 With or Without You
    23 Love is Blindness (with snippets of 40)

    If only……………

  5. The general consensus with the fans I’ve spoken to is that the show is great in terms of visuals and energy; but the set-list is bogged down by too many bitparts from the new album and generally pretty uninspired. A few have even described the show as “boring”. I hope they freshen things up for Europe.

  11. It’s quite unlikely that they play Rejoice. Edge once said it was too over the top.

  13. “Crumbs” will be done ala “Desire” as a raw combo performance in Europe as it is slightly critical of the U.S.?

  15. It is critical of any Country/Nation that doesn’t help out those in need, not just the US.
    Where you live should not decide…

  17. hey bullet is an attack on US so is war and peace.
    They just dont know it well enough yet to play live. this band is not an impromtu player. Just listen to out of control in boston. It aint a great version.
    They will play it in usa next leg for sure and part of europe too. Maybe at G8 for first time with bad.

  19. I think they’ll play an acoustic version of the Mofo Phunk Phorce Mix. For sure. Definitely…either that or an electronic version of the Theme from Let’s Go Native.
