Local Time: 04:32 PM | "Spanish Eyes" in Barcelona! When U2 open their world tour in Spain, I keep my fingers crossed, a full electric rocking "Spanish Eyes" will make it in the setlist this time.  Unfortunately ignored during their last stay in 2005 (though at least rehearsed) this gem B-side from THE JOSHUA TREE, rarely performed, was played here and then, when U2 toured Spain. "Spanish Eyes" would rock – for sure also the people, who feel more Catalan than Spanish. So, please, request this tune! |

Local Time: 02:32 AM | Fun fact: Spanish Eyes has only been played on alternating tours since its debut. i.e. it was played on JT, not on Lovetown, played on ZooTV, not on Popmart, played on Elevation, not on Vertigo. The ZooTV and Elevation appearances were limited to one concert each - San Sebastian on the former, Barcelona (the only Spanish Elevation gig) on the latter. I'd love the band to play it again.

Local Time: 04:32 PM | Considering it is the first night of the tour, the band will struggle with the tour regulars (when was the last time they sounded well-rehearsed on the first night? ZooTV?), so the inclusion of a relatively obscure B-side that would need further extra rehearsing will probably be too much for Bono's lazy ass. On the other hand, I'm all up for it. |

Local Time: 02:32 AM | I wouldn't say they sounded well rehearsed on ZooTV's first show either - compare it to a show a couple of weeks later and it's noticeably rusty. Honestly, I don't think the band's sounded that polished on ANY tour opener. And yeah, that factor certainly makes me concerned we may not see Spanish Eyes this tour. That said, there's still 2010 and another European leg to come!

Local Time: 03:32 PM | Spanish Eyes is coming back for Barcelona. I know its the 1st night, but it is one of those special occasion songs like Party Girl, so they will HOPEFULLY try and throw it in there. Love this song, on JT B-Sides and Live. One of my favorite U2 live performances is the MSG Spanish Eyes w. the stage jumping drunk pulling the microphone from Bono and Bono, yanking it back, saying "you picked the wrong night for an arm wrestle, sonny." The one Elevation tour performance was great, the song was in mint condition! |
