  7. Well I guess this is it for me. I've managed to stay spoiler free up to this point and I might as well keep it going until May 30th.
  8. Referencing several earlier posts...

    My issue with Bono saying "We just don't know where to put that in the set" is that that's not really a good enough excuse. If you want to play The Troubles because it worked so well in rehearsals, they play it in different parts of the set to see where it works. Drop a song and play it.

    This band always talks about how well connected they like to be to their fan base, yet they frequently seem so terrified to take risks for them.

    If you ask me, the biggest risk of the setlist is Miracle Drug! A re-worked chorus on a song that wasn't even that popular to begin with, and its in the encore! Initially, I would have said that Sweetest Thing was the biggest curveball, but even that was a single and is on the greatest hits album - they aren't really digging very deep for that slot. And they'd have downright gotten crucified for not recognizing BB with WLCTT after he died.

    It would be great if they messed with The Troubles a bit. Shook it up. Maybe to close the show instead of Still? (DUH.) Maybe to open the encore, close the main set, bring it out of the acoustic- b-stage section...it would keep diehards on their toes, and the casual fans none-the-wiser while they got to play a song they are trying to convince us they're passionate about.

    End rant.
