Originally posted by Caledonia:Sounds like they were on better form last night after what seemed like a bit of a dodgy night in St Louis, and really great to hear that they've played 'Gloria'. I hope for more occasions where they throw in the odd (semi-)rarity like that through the tour, always makes things a little more interesting for everyone, band included.
Also really hope that they can play some more of the SoE songs over the duration of the tour and perhaps the snippetry is a hint of what's to come with that? One can hope, though it's possible they may have tried and found they just don't work so good live for whatever reason or are a bit too tricky to pull off well. The Showman would be a fun e-stage song for sure.
I think as others have said its quite probable they'll change the America segment of the show for something more Euro orientated for Europe, and hopefully we'll get to hear either Summer Of Love and/or Red Flag Day.
Also hope they hold firm with their decision not to play any TJT and keep them rested through this tour. As much as we all love them, they've earned a good lie down!

If the Achtung Babies can play such aweome versions of Landlady, Red flag day & Book of your heart then U2 should be able to manage it

Not be sensitive bright and early in the morning - but if you don't think Moment of Surrender or Unknown Caller are relevant songs in a story of a maturing life and growth then you haven't lived much or had to go through those moments of life. If Stuck in a Moment gets pulled out (and you know it will) with it's back story of Michael Hutchence then these can too... Looking at the album listing and seeing 11 albums represented and only Unforgetable Fire, Joshua Tree, and No Line as the only ones missing... well, No line is in a time period that could work...
