Gnomicide Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 U2 wrote a sing called Glastonbury for their 2010 set. Fast forward to 2011 and they didn't play it. If that's not special, I don't know what is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we’re taking about Bruce’s epics, I do hate Outlaw Pete, but probably more because of what it’s not; Jungleland, Backstreets, incident, NYC serenade, Rosalita or Racing in the Street. kiss called, they want their song back 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head from the years I’ve been going: Jay Z - Oasis cover walk on Muse - had the Edge join them U2 - had a video link from space Coldplay (2011) - turned the pyramid different colours Arctics - used strings Stones - reworked Factory Girl into Glastonbury Girl. Also played 2,000 Light Years for the first time in years in a nod to the arctics Mumfords - invited a load of guests for a big singalong Kanye - had the crane Coldplay (2016) - had the bracelets, although I think they used these in their tour too Radiohead - hits setlist Stormzy - special guests and the ballet dancers Killers - special guests The Cure - hits setlist (although that might be common, I’m not sure) McCartney - special guests Kendrick - unique setlist and show Any I missed? The Cure was a very standard set for that tour, though it was a ‘festival’ tour so very calibrated. Springsteen started with a Glastonbury special but after that was as standard a set as he does. Coldplay wristbands were standard but getting Gibb and Eavis on wasn’t. Metallica-I think was a normal setlist but do they always do that thing with the fans at the back of the stage?

Though it's also fair to note that the tour they had at that time would've been impractical to bring to Glastonbury given both that it used a fucking massive stage designed for stadiums and that all the apparatus for it was in the USA as Glasto was plonked in-between 2 US stadium shows. I think the setlist idea was right - started with 5 Achtung Baby songs with Zoo TV style imagery, then Joshua Tree Tour opening, 2000's hits, Live Aid set and then a few odds & sods at the end. What they got wrong imo was thinking they could just fly in from a US show on a Wednesday night, do Glasto on the Friday, then back on a Sunday. Even if it was pissing it down, I doubt it was exactly fresh. That and looking back at it, they were out of sync with the backing track on the opening song, making it a bit of a messy start. Someone said they think U2 could do another crack at this but that it would be funny if it was as rainy, which... fair. I think they themselves would be amused to come back only to get soggy again. You also had Bono nearly falling over and then stressing about his back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be in most of them but could easily get called for the odd cameo which would affect touring plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
