u2roolz Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hey Folks, Well, I listened to the show live over the internet as it happened. Someone calls from the show and it shows up on some website calledMikes1000. Sound isn't the best, but you can make out each song. So before Beautiful Day Bono sang part of Far Far Away. And he did it on both nights. When I listened live on Saturday night I almost shit my pants than I forgot about it because it didn't get listed on the U2 fansites. But they just updated it now and I'm glad that I wasn't imagining things. My best friend and his brother went to the show. I don't think they caught it. I texted them though to test their memory. That is all. Kristofor http://www.u2gigs.com/Far_Far_Away-s713.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Kristofor, I definitely think this deserves its own thread, but wanted to give you a heads up that there has been some discussion of this in the Wilco while you're out and about thread: http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/32068-wilco-heard-while-youre-out-and-about/page__view__findpost__p__1364102 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jules Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I didn't notice this. Cool. I went Sunday and was very underwhelmed overall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indy81 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 You have good ears! I went on Saturday and didn't catch this. I thought it was a pretty brilliant show overall -- a nice mix of new material, old standards, and rarities. The final encore was one of the best things I've seen in almost 20 years of going to U2 shows. But of all the Wilco songs for Bono to (kind of) quote, I'm surprised he picked a relative obscurity like "Far, Far Away." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I also went Saturday, and had a great time. I wish I were seeing them again (and this time perhaps I'd go for GA) but I'll keep my fingers crossed for more dates next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I don't know what I was expecting, but it didn't do much for me. Maybe it was our seats in the North endzone. I don't know. Glad everyone else had a good time at these shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Degenerex Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yeah I went on Saturday and loved it. Really was hoping to hear "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?" but I knew that was a bit of a stretch on this tour. I caught the "Far, Far Away" snippet and mentioned it to my non-Wilco fan friend, and he said "Oh, it sounded like a Dylan song or something." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I heard from someone who went that the Far Far Away snippet preceded City of Blinding Lights, which would make sense - but apparently not true huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It would be fun to go to a U2 concert with Analogman. He might push their "spaceship" into a creek. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
