  1. Which songs could work as an opening song for TJT30?

    For example...

    Drowning Man (Tape) - A sort of Homecoming

    have a guess....
  2. A Rainy Night In Soho was reported.
  3. Stand By Me is the only possible choice.

    And Harry's Game by Clannad as the outro.
  4. Or 'All You Need Is Love' for the intro and Clannad 'Caislean Oir' for the outro would be good.

    But yeah I read 'A Rainy Night In Soho' has been heard over the PA, though doesn't mean it will be the intro or outro.

    On May 4, 2017, at a rehearsal in Vancouver that was being held at BC Place, the songs coming from the stadium could be clearly heard by fans. One song, before U2 started an extended run through of their set list for the tour, was identified as a song that did not sound like U2.

    The song indeed, was not a U2 song. It was a song called “Rainy Night in Soho” by the band The Pogues. The song was recorded for The Pogues Poguetry in Motion EP released in February 1986. The songs on the EP were recorded with producer Elvis Costello, and is one of the EPs that we mentioned in an earlier History Mix column, 80s Extended Play Madness.

    The song itself has been used by U2 as a snippet in live performances over the years. On October 23, 2000 at a performance on the BBC, Bono would include a snippet of the song as part of “Beautiful Day”. He would do the same again a few months later when the band gave a small club performance at the Astoria Theatre in London England. (Thanks to U2Gigs.Com for the list of snippets)

  7. That would have been too much "in-your-face" nostalgia, and very complacent for them. If they are rationalizing this nostalgia tour (that's what it is), at least make it different from the JT tour and that's what they're trying with a new song and songs from the 90's, 00's.
    They should go with a different intro song and closer too.

  10. It is so cool to read people writing about Clannad songs as an opener for the JT tour! i just got back from Donegal, Ireland where Clannad is from and I went to their family's pub called Leo's. I think one of Bono's best vocals EVER is on their song called 'In a lifetime.' What a beautiful song! Would be great to hear.
