E&I Tour - General topic

Originally posted by CMIPalaeo:Just a thought, even though Little Things is not appearing on this tour, it really feels to me like it’ll be one of the representatives of SOE on later tours, whereas some of the songs like LIAWHL, SOL, and 13 seem like they’ll probably never appear after this. What songs do you all think will stick around after this tour??

Not my preference but my prediction is that from SOI and SOE only EBW has a chance of showing up in the future. I do think little things is slightly more likely than most of SOE perhaps with the exception of Love is bigger but I really don’t expect these albums to have much representation after this tour.

Trying to Throw Your Arms was played at that legendary Sydney gig.. whether or not it's available depends on which recording you have..but yeah, Ultraviolet would have been epic.

Going from IE to EI, makes no sense to me to have that block of songs (IWF to UTEOTW) in the same section of the show, let alone play them again this time around.

imo Song for someone, EBW, Little Things, American Soul & Love is bigger are all strong possibilities for a future tour.

Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:Posted this in the Paris thread, but this is sort of how I've been feeling about this tour:

To me:

I Will Follow
Gloria
Beautiful Day
The Ocean
Iris (Hold Me Close)
Cedarwood Road
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Until The End Of The World
(Intermission - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me)
Elevation
Vertigo

This whole section needed to be completely cut from the show, and something more interesting/more "experience" themed should've gone in. The show shouldn't have had a mini "early days" set, and it shouldn't have had that SoI mini-set with the same visuals, and Elevation and Vertigo either needed to be changed to something different (remix?) or just taken out. At least Elevation got the cool intro again, that's something.

But this is sort of the core of the issue of the show to me. Imagine if instead, it went:

Love Is All We Have Left
The Blackout
Lights of Home
Zoo Station
The Fly
Wild Horses
Book of Your Heart
Crystal Ballroom
Little Things
Last Night on Earth
Gone
Please
Love and Peace
Get On Your Boots/Breathe


Instead? Maybe unrealistic, but IMO would've made for a much better "part 2" of the whole Innocence and Experience campaign.

My thoughts too.

Paris IEM Empress Valley release can have the soundcheck of Landland as bonus tracks.

I hear you. A sequence including three Pop songs in a row like that would be gold.

I think a more realistic way of fixing that part of the show would be to substitute in other SOI songs instead of Iris and Cedarwood. I know that those visuals and that part of the story mean a lot to them, but they could have still honored the "Innocence" portion of E&I by playing SOI songs that weren't already played at every I&E show. You mentioned Crystal Ballroom - what if they threw in California or The Troubles? Or full band EBW?
