U2's first tune?

[Baby On A Stick]

at live 8 in hyde park in 2005 they opened the show with beautiful day so thats where my money is

[chameleon]

I have a feeling it'll be One or Bad leading into the chorus of 40 for the crowd to sing as they go off. That would be magic.

[TazOnSpeed]

They should open with a cover of Rebecca Black's Friday.

That would be Awesome!!

Personally I hope they don't try and replicate the 360 tour.

I hope they do sort of an anthology of their songs.

Early days through to present day

Start with one off Boy.

Out of Control,Electric Co,I Will Follow or Day Without Me would be nice.

Read somewhere that a 'second-life' virtual U2 group of people were asked last year if the band could use one of their video clips for the screen at Glastonbury for Even Better Than the Real Thing, so it might be worth noting that song could be a given for the setlist - interesting idea too. Can't wait to see what they come out with production-wise, especially with the Zoo TV-style idea.

[Festi_Lizard]

Yeah I agree! Good choice.

[Wooderson]

I called Principle Mgmt there and was told on the hush hush that U2 are gonna start with a Gamelan version of "Can A N1gga Get A Table Dance".

You heard it here first. Etc.

Hmmm...paddy power are taking bets on U2s opening tune at Glastonbury.

They have Beautiful day odds on.

Even better than the real thing at 3/1. I'm getting on that.

[addicted2noise]

Right lads it's done. The gambler in me couldn't help but add another cheeky little bet along with the U2 Glasto opener.

So I went for.....

Even better than the real thing @3/1

And

Jedward to win Eurovision @20/1

€10 on the double = €600.....Easy money!!

[markeee]

Anyone else betting on this? I only ame across it this morning, was about to post a thread..glad I searched first

I can't get much money down on any of the selections though, i'm allowed to win max 74 quid no matter what price

[whiteash]

I'm going to have to get involved with a couple of bets on what their first song will be for a laugh.

So I will go with the following:

Even Better Than The Real Thing 3/1

Magnificant 16/1

Will spend my winnings at the Cider Bus after!!!!

[chameleon]

Have you got a list of the odds or what site you have put the bet on with??

Will have to put my money where my mouth is and have a little flutter on this!

[sonny]

I hope it's 'I will follow'

Nice and noisy to get me in the mood

[Bluearsedfly]

Latest edition of Q, features U2 in Sal Palo or somewhere. Set list looks a belter.

Even better than the real thing opens the show on that night, my vote is Beautiful Day.

[Torcs4]

I reckon they'll stick with Even Better Than The Real Thing. It's a jumped up version, and a good opener.

Skip to 1:50.
