That's all.
Originally posted by andyuk36:I think the boys need to start considering shaking up the setlist, They must get a little fed up playing the same songs every night I know being in a band I do. I think the 360 set list was better. I love the new stuff but they should rotate more old stuff. And they know we all want to see Acrobat they should just come out and say why they dont there will be a valid reason eg the song has to have a key change now for Bono's voice and it would loose it dynamic or even it just doesnt work live...Come on boys all us oldies wanna here 11 O'clock, A sort of Homecoming and some of the otehr great tracks you have produced over the years.........And for godsake play Everybreaking wave full band
Not gonna break status quo now. Too much technology to work around.

I'd like to point out, almost as many full songs (not including covers, "Rain," "Happy Birthday," "Auld Triangle," etc.) have already been performed on the I&E Tour than were performed on the entirety of the 360 Tour.
I&E = 4 months in, 47 different songs played.
Didn't count: Happy Birthday, Stand By Me, Mother & Child Reunion.
360 = Lasted over 2 years, 54 different songs played.
Didn't count: Stand By Me, Happy Birthday, Auld Triangle, Solo La Pido a Dios, The Model, Knockin' on Heaven's Door, She's the One.
47 songs is over two full setlists worth of material. Just not rotated in a way that is frequent / drastic enough to most peoples' liking.

Yep, statistically speaking this tour is their most diverse tour ever when it comes to unique number of songs. It's no doubt they will pass this 54 number.

Maybe they could use some of that technolgy to let the fans vote against maybe a choice of three songs at a gig then play the wining song a lot of bands do that now...just a thought
I know it's an old discussion, but I still wonder what would have happened if they followed through on the original I+E night one / night two - idea....

I wonder what would have happened if Bono didn't had his bike accident
