  1. That's great that you posted this one! This past weekend, I was telling my wife about how this was one of the best snippets.
  2. Trying at the end of MW a couple times at the end of 360 was good, Jump Around is also fun in MW from Boston 2001
  3. I’m a big fan of snippets and they often help push a song to the next level for me. I’ll try to rein it in, but a few (several) favourites...

    Sunday Bloody Sunday: The Lake Isle of Innisfree
    Two Hearts Beat As One: Let’s Twist Again
    Bad: Irish Heartbeat; Fool To Cry; All I Want Is You

    Running To Stand Still: Dirty Old Town
    Exit: Gloria
    Desire: 1969
    All Along the Watchtower: Like a Hurricane
    Angel of Harlem: Suspicious Minds; My Girl
    All I Want Is You: Sexual Healing; Walk To the Water
    The Fly: Satisfaction

    It looks like several one-offs or uncommon ones. Also it seems like U2 have decreased the prevalence of snippets in their newer material.

    Hahaha, definitely a LOT of one-offs there. I can't even remember some of them! The Lake Isle of Innisfree??? WTF
  5. I’m not considering “original” snippets like Shine like Stars

    Send in the Clowns in Electric Co
    Satellite of Love in Bad
    Exodus in I Still Haven’t Found
    Unchained Melody in One
    11 O’Clock Tick Tock in Bullet the Blue Sky @ Lovetown Point Depot
    “40” in Bad / Streets
    Psalm 116 in Streets
    Psalm 23 in Raised by Wolves / Until the End of the World
    Stories for Boys in Vertigo
    Discotheque in I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight
  6. I love snippets because I feel like it gives the younger generation an opportunity to discover songs they normally wouldn't have.

    Yes! There are a lot of songs I now know that I found via U2 snippets. That's intertextuality at work...
  8. It was in the Chicago Elevation show with the "ZooTV" setlist - "peace will come dropping slow, peace will come dropping slo-oo-ow"
  9. If God Will Send His Angels : Ultraviolet

    I can vouch for that.

    On a related note... does any other live act do this?
  11. Probably Pearl Jam too right? So many great snippets it’s what makes some of these shows amazing.
