This camerawork is incredible. Minimalist. A genius interpretation of the music. Like a painting. The actor that comes in at 1:45 is nicely styled. Brilliant, quick thinking.
I got chills when i listened to this. I've always loved this underrated song and at last it gets the attention it deserves. PLEASE U2 PLAY THIS ON THE TOUR!!!
Wow. I hope they play this. This song, along with Surrender on War are beautiful. The Unforgettable Fire footage from the Barcelona show is great. The stage looks great and I can't wait until they play in Dallas, TX in October!! Hope to God they sing 40, as well, but Drowning Man is great. Wish they'd whip out something besides Gloria from October or anything from October. OK. Showing my age. Have loved them since I was 11 and Unforgettable Fire was the first album I bought. from them.
As far as I can tell, Drowning Man was NOT played at the first Barcelona show afterall!! Dont tell me they ditched it at the last minute or something. This was the song from the "leaked" rehearsal list that the majority of U2 fans were especially excited about.
And I hope they add New Years Day back into the setlist between now and the Vegas show in October (which Ill be attending). Leaving out NYD would be almost unforgivable.
im going to ullevi, sweden on july 31st with my best friend whom i've known for 20 years+ and presented me with the elevation boston DVD that made me a u2 fan.
I had only one wish for this tour: That they would play The Unforgettable Fire. And now my wish will come true xD
I hope this song remains as a staple in their set-list...so friggin excited now, I'm going to see them in Dublin and I live in New York...WOO HOO!!!!!
ah man, such a good song.... shame thye dont play... maybe... AT GLASTO!?? muahaa
