    These things are all subjective of course but I do hope they keep the rotations 'fair'; a Wild Horses/Acrobat slot would work much better than say...Acrobat and SBS.
    as long as acrobat is in the mix, i'll take what comes with it!
  3. It's killing me that they are going to play BD, Ele, COBL and others AGAIN So many wasted spots... I understand that not every spot in the setlist can be a rarity, but some of these songs are just overplayed... Anything from NLOTH/POP/Zooropa.. unplayed songs from SOI... so many options... and we will get BD, Ele, COBL, Desire, Pride, One... Yes, they might play Acrobat and that's cool, but there are a lot of chances they just won't take :S I know that the tour is gonna be great as always, it just could be even better

    SBS, BD, Ele, COBL should indeed all rest. And of all the great SOI tracks they could play, SFS, CR, and RBW are certainly not my first choices.

    Please, Please!
    MOFO!
    Twilight (find a way to adapt it to Bono's voice now - it's a gem)
    And yes: anything from NLOTH/POP/Zooropa. Please!

    Sorry to go a bit offtopic but you just reminded me how Muse have a thing or two to learn about keeping rotations fair They really bummed me big time in 2015. Bliss&Citizen Erased&Stockholm Syndrome vs Plug In Baby&Apocalypse Please&Hysteria, fairness my ass!

    In U2 terms, it would be like rotating Acrobat with Mysterious Ways and then rotate Exit with Still Haven't Found. Same albums but oooh so different songs.

    (goes without saying that I got the bad rotation )


    I really hope U2 don't do that. Ever.

    I dunno if I'd lump COBL in with that group... it was pretty much ignored last tour... but yes, I agree.

    That's what I'm afraid of. If it must be, I hope the Wolves/SBS/World rotation is Night 2 scenario. And podunk places like Atlanta that only have 1 show will get the Full Monty.
  8. I'd like to hear Raised By Wolves, but not at the expense of rotating it with Acrobat/Wild Horses

    That be a slap in the face.
    I've got night 1 and 2 in NY but otherwise I'd be mad
  9. I can't remember any tour where they rotated a whole sequence of 3-4 songs from show to show. They usually rotate 3-5 songs from night to night but not in whole segments, it's usually one at the start, one or two in the middle, one in the encore, etc. I would be very surprised if they start doing it now. Just as much as anyone, I'd love to see two very different setlists from night to night, of course... But as Christopher says above ↑, not at the expense of two of the potential biggest highlights being thrown out.
  10. Originally posted by James360:Not my idea of course, it is just what it looks like they are trying given both sequences ran into UTEOTW on each rehearsal.

    I hope too that Wild Horses and Acrobat are main stays!

    well, it IS your idea... and it's very unlikely one. They are not doing full setlist rehearsals now, so those sequences don't really mean anything. Also if they are going to use a part of the I&E setlist it's very likely to be used every night.

    Edit: of course the RBW & UTEOTW sequence is quite likely because it was used that way on I&E and also because they rehearsed RBW together with the intro of UTEOTW.
  11. This year I'm at a night 1 (Manchester) and a night 2 (Hamburg) so I'm hoping I'll get both rotations!!
  12. Manchester will be special shows I feel
