One Tree Hill?

YBORCITYOBL · 11-15-2006, 10:12 AM

What do you think the chances are that the Boys will polish this gem off and play One Tree Hill?

I probably could be accused of being an over optimistic person.

i would fit the place
but no
too lazy

Chizip · 11-15-2006, 10:19 AM

snippet likely
acoustic if lucky
full band no chance

I'm so hoping for at least a snippet. If they can give Oakland a snippet last year, I think One Tree Hill's hometown gets a little.

Snippets are overrated. Who gives a damn if Bono sung two lines from a song?

Well, the person above you, for starters.

I'm hesitantly hopeful. I'm wondering if it will replace Kite. After all, the new version of Kite is very "Australian" and wouldn't be appropriate for New Zealand, so perhaps they'll sub it out and bring in the very "New Zealand" One Tree Hill?

Unfortunately I think I agree with Chizip's appraisal of the situation.

Although I'm probably a little more hopeful they will do it at least acoustically (similiar to how they did Mothers Of The Disappeared in S. America). I think full band One Tree Hill like was done on JT and Lovetown is a pipe dream. But U2, feel free to shock me on that one!

If it isn't Electrical Storm or off Pop it has a chance of being played.

I am thinking one full verse is likely - if the chorus was sung we would be lucky.

If they closed the show with the song, I think it would be one of the best things this band has done in the past 20 years.

May sound crazy, but it is my favorite song and they have not been to NZ in 13 years, so if they did it, fantastic.

I, however couple the fact that I am a pessimist and think that the band is too lazy/scared to get it rehearsed and thus, we might see one line, which I think is shameful.

It looks like there's a possibility that OTH may get played. Thank goodness I won't be attending the concert because I'd probably die right there on the spot if I ever heard them play this again, in fact if I get a chance to check out U2-Vertigo.com after the show and see this I still may in the very least pass out!!!

I'm travelling home this weekend and I won't be near a computer until at least Sunday so I'm sending great Vibes to New Zealand.

at least one of the new zealand concerts will see the encore: Wits -> OTH -> Happy Xmas (War is over).

definitely.
