The Electric Co needs to be back in the Set!!!!

Mauwer · 07-31-2006, 04:42 AM

Friends ,

Does The Electric Co needs to be back in the Set for the remainder of the tour?

I say : YES!!!!
Okay...UTEOTW is a very cool song , but Electric Co was a highlight and it made a glorious return this tour.
For me it WAS the highlight of the tour so far.

What ya all think?

Cheers ,

Mauwer

I'm not sure about dropping UTEOTW. In my preferred setlist, I Will Follow is the song from Boy i'd rather hear played.

Nisse · 08-01-2006, 09:17 AM

The Electric Co is the best song on this tour.

nurse chrissi · 08-01-2006, 09:44 AM

Definitely a highlight of the tour - love the 9-20-05 version from Chicago

Electric Co. over I Will Follow, UTEOTW is a keeper.

Axver · 08-03-2006, 06:49 AM

The Electric Co. owns this tour.

Don't touch UTEOTW, though. The songs that need to go are ISHFWILF, WOWY, One, Pride, and Bullet. Especially ISHFWILF and WOWY, as most of the first leg of the tour coped just fine without them.

I Will Follow, Electric Co, UTEOTW all need to be in the set list.

electric co is the best part of this tour

agree - one of the highlights of the show

Yes they should put back the electric co. DONT touch UTEOTW please, too good of a song! I think the should take out The First Time, also if they would stop doing all those snippets in the middle/ends of the songs and adding like another 2 min for the snippet songs then they would have room to put in the electric co. without taking out The First Time....I wounder with the Pacific Leg's songs are going to be, I hope they play some good versions of songs like the full electric desire, that would be fun...

I disagree. The snippets are often over instrumental portions of the song that would be played anyway. And removing those that do slightly extend songs would doubtfully offer a sufficient time saving to permit extra songs.

Now, Bono's rambling speeches, on the other hand ...

A brilliant idea - fill a video of the speeches during the time between the main set and first encore!

I will Follow can go!
Electric Co and UTEOTW!!!

Unfortunately, Willie said he didnt feel the boy songs were well recieved during Mexico 1 so he said that they would drop the boy songs for the rest of the whole leg. I'm not a u2.com member any more so I dont have the exact quote.

But all that was written before all the postponments so we can only wait and see if the boy songs will or wont come back
