U2 could be no more ?
Could this tour be the last for U2? Despite the fact that U2 Tickets are hard to come by - they recently sold out 90000 seats in Barcelona in 54 minutes - some in the band feel that going out on top is preferable to going out on a downward curve.
Bono stated recently that he and his bandmates - guitarist The Edge, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and bassist Adam Clayton - are determined to enjoy their upcoming world tour because they fear it could be their last.
He noted, “We want to play for each other as much as we want to play for the crowd this time. You just don’t know how long you are going to be doing this. When we walk out on stage, the hairs on people’s necks go up - but what people don’t know is that the hairs on our necks go up too.”
Drummer Mullen is also concerned their fans won’t want to part with their money to watch them, due to current economic conditions… even though tickets have been priced reasonably.
He said: “Will we sell it out? Who knows? Will the economic situation have an impact? Probably. But that’s not going to stop us.”
Mullen admitted he wants the group to retire while they are still at the top.
He said: “There will be a time when it’s like, ‘It’s time to go.’ I would like that to be on a high when you’re still achieving as opposed to the curve down. That’ll be sad for me. I think it’ll be a more dignified time to go.”

1987: Bullet the blue sky
"Bullet the Blue Sky" is the fourth track from U2's 1987 album, The Joshua . Although never released as a single, "Bullet the Blue Sky" has been played at nearly every one of the band's live concerts since its first performance at the opening night of the Joshua Tree Tour on April 2, 1987. The song is one of the band's most overtly politically toned songs, with live performances often being heavily critical of war and guns.
Amazing when you think about the fact that they released this ablum as a CD and it jumped way up in sales.
Bullet The Blue Sky
This song has been played at the following 646 shows on the Joshua Tree Tour
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome
You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses
See the flames higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
This guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
You take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America
Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain through a gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children
Who run
Into the arms
Of America

1984: I will follow
I Will Follow" is the opening track from U2's debut album, Boy. It was written by Bono after the tragic death of his mother, who died of a brain hemorrhage at the funeral of her father. The song was released as a single, and has since become a fan favorite live; it is the only song U2 has performed on every tour since they released their first album. It was U2's first music video. It was directed by Meiert Avis in Dublin, Ireland. Both appeared on the compilation album and video collection
