11 O'Clock Tick Tock, not performed on Vertigo?

theu2fly · 08-13-2006, 09:51 AM

I was just wondering how come this song never made it's return back to a setlist, it is a classic song and has a 'Boy' ish feel to it, but since U2 was performing a majority of Boy songs on the legs of Vertigo, I wonder why this never got played at all...

The setlist would look like this...

Vertigo
11 O'Clock Tick Tock
I Will Follow
The Electric Co.

OR

Vertigo
I Will Follow
11 O'Clock Tick Tock
Elevation

Would have been cool to see it again...

Or even subbing it in instead of IWF, maybe rotating...but I agree, it should have been played.

The Edge made a brief appearance on the forum around the time of the Vertigo tour rehearsals and people were asking about song possibilites for the tour. Someone asked about 11 O'Clock and I believe he replied, "Tick Tock was played last tour!"

Um, no he didnt. Are you referring to the infamous FakeEdge?

As for the topic. They played it on Elevation. Clearly they didnt feel like playing it this time out.

Besides, we got Electric Co instead. I would rather have that any day.

Sooooo. The poster known as The Edge is really a fake? I did not know that.

Thanks for making me feel like a jack ass.

Wow, there was a HUGE blow up about this very thing all over this board. You are one of the first people I have seen post that didnt know about it. Sorry, wasnt my intent to make you feel like a jack ass. It is pretty common knowledge around here though that "the Edge" turned out to be a fake.

salty72 · 08-13-2006, 01:51 PM

Sorry Blue Room. I didn't mean to say you made me feel like a jack ass. The person posing as The Edge is the one who made me feel like a jack ass. By the way, where's the thread about the Fake Edge? I would like to read up on it so I don't be sucker again!

I'm not too sure he was fake.

Interesting, not going to get into a debate but even Elvis admitted it wasnt.

But if you want to believe go for it. Its funny how he hasnt returned since the blow up isnt it?

U2Man · 08-13-2006, 01:56 PM

This big thing obviously scared him away.

Ok, like I said believe what you want. I'm moving on though. This thread is about 11 O'clock not being played. Not fake edge.

U2Man · 08-13-2006, 02:06 PM

Fake Edge was right about 11 O'clock. It didn't get played because it was played last tour.

salty72 · 08-13-2006, 02:07 PM

Yes, yes. Let's get back to the original topic of this thread. It's my fault for straying off the topic.

I apologize!

Nah, nothing to apologize for. You have been around here for a long time, I just figured you had to have known. My bad, back to topic like we both have said.

Bono has become too heavy to dance during 11 O'clock on this tour. He was in far better shape during Elevation.
