Subscriber omnivox 9 Posted May 7, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted May 7, 2018 When they dropped Staring at the Sun I lost my shit. I made three predictions or things I would love to see. 1. Song from Pop 2. Macphisto 3. Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me. Acrobat was an added bonus. Needless to say that if they dropped Crumbs I would probably pass out from excitment. That is one of my all time favorite U2 songs. I hope they slide it in on another tour date so we can Youtube it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of mine, too...If I had to pick from a plethora of songs/choices...... Think about the breadth of that achievement on the behalf of U2. Most musicians pray to have 1/10th of their talent/library of songs.....I can honestly say, I don't think u2 have ever made a 'bad' song. Their worst...is at most, some artists' best. BTW... I also love "please"....both lyrically/musically. Another very underrated gem.....I'd love if they would play that beauty as well.

But, when you get it right....it's usually effortless....whether it's 2am or 8 am.... The wonder of creativity....if only we could understand the corresponding pieces that make it fit perfectly that one day...and then not another. I'm sure u2 has also asked the same questions...how can we harness that same genius/inspiration again? What made the difference? will we ever achieve that 'cohesive' , artistic perfection again?

I hope so too, Omnivox.....the band has got to read this for "feedback".....I want to believe.....but, hey....it's their artistic expression....maybe 'crumbs' doesn't fit into their story/theme they would like to t convey on the tour.

Aw, it pulled on my heart strings to see Bono out there playing rhythm guitar.... Yes - I love that guitar in particular too. I think it's the one that has "the goal is soul" written on it. Either they themselves have said and/or biographers of the band have said that Bono is a frustrated guitarist, The Edge is a frustrated drummer. Larry is a frustrated singer, and Adam only wanted to play the bass. ? If they were ever to gravitate to those roles, I think we would have our pre-Boy punk-ish U2 back...? Well, I'm glad the video was there to be found - I do feel like I hit the "U2 lottery", as it were, to see that performance in person. I don't know how often they played it live, but it wasn't a common occurrence. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
