  1. I'd probably pick Pasadena 1 good decision to move Miss Sarajevo which was strangely reversed. The problem I have with Seattle is minor but important and that is Eddie Vedder singing on MOTD, even though I like him and he does a good job I like my u2 gigs u2 only but to be fair Seattle did sound like a really good show in general.

    Edit: I'm actually thinking about Chicago 1 for Miss Sarajevo being moved, thought that was its best place on the setlist.

    Exactly. The ending is just lost. The woman themed Ultraviolet is great. And the refugee themed Miss Sarajevo, too... But it's the location. You put it perfectly, the encore should come out swinging... Even, if it must be so, Elevation would breathe air into the beginning of encore, but then that puts Miss Sarajevo closer to One or The Little Things again... too much mellow to end the show. I get what they're trying for concept wise, and then going even further to incorporate theme and message into concept... I just think they're packed too tightly too close together - if that makes sense... The beginning flows into JT, but the end... It seems as the only purpose for Miss Sarajevo is to get the refugee concept across. Yes, it works in message, but not in flow of show. Anyway, I'm rambling now, you either get my point, or don't... that's why we have this open forum, no?

    In short, I get where you're going Matt (I think!)
    Yeah you got it exactly.


  3. Seattle looks fantastic....best show so far IMO.
  4. To me, fixing the encore is easy:
    Desire
    Angel of Harlem
    All I want is you
    Beautiful Day
    Ultra Violet
    Syria Video, but followed by:
    One
    The Little Things / IWF
  5. Yeah I mean anyone can make changing the encore "easy" by just adding in songs they haven't played on the tour.

    See, I like the Syria/refugee video with One... it works. But you can't segue tribute to women directly into refugee crisis...
  7. They could play an identical setlist to Seattle minus Miss Sarajevo. I'm trying not to hate on the song too much but I do think it's causing most of the problem this tour.
  8. It's evolving now . By the time it hits London it should be properly tweaked
  9. If they keep closing with IWF at least it's leaving you on a high note. I can live with that. But hey... If I get ASOH and Bad... You won't hear one negative peep outta me.
  10. I'd like to hear Lemon live again at some point
  11. Made a bootleg cover as I've already downloaded last night's show to relisten to the highlights
