  1. Excellent. I just don’t understand why Landlady and Little Things aren’t in the set . I felt as if the first set was too short. SBS needs to go back into RBW or NYD ... the transition into UTEOTW seems off and rushed to me . IWF and Electric Co were great , crowd went crazy .

    I was thinking for a good spot for NYD is right after Vertigo. When Vertigo ends and Larry and Adam start it back up.... they should start NYD right there. That would of blew the roof off. Desire didn’t get the reception it did when I saw it on SOI. Again, all of Bono’s talking and cheesiness didn’t help.
  3. Best Thing acoustic was a snooze fest . They lost the crowd at this point . Full band version should be played . The crowd went nuts for IWF and Electric Co , if NYD and Gloria would have followed they would have torn the roof off .
    Bad should without question be played (along with NYD) each and every night over the tired and played out Elevation . If Vertigo needs to be played I feel it would work better in set 1 , as it did in 2015 .
    Desire I thought would be better . A shame Wild Horses is gone .
    Acrobat was my highlight along with Electric Co and IMO Exit would work great right after Acrobat with Bono staying in character.
    I understand why the band aren’t playing JT , but WOWY would be great ending the show , if not play All I Want Is You .
    Overall very good show , but if the band aren’t going to play JT , (and they aren’t) then some other classic tunes like Bad NYD Gloria and All I Want Is You need to be in there . Every night .
    The crowd was literally stunned when the show ended after 13 . I have been attending shows since 1981 when I saw the Ramones , and I don’t remember ever seeing a reaction quite like that , of stunned disbelief , that the show was indeed over .
    7/10

    I understand the thought of 13 ending but again this is a concert , not an album. It’s just an awful ending to a concert.

    Yes elevation is tired but you can’t deny the power of elevation and vertigo back to back. The crowd went absolutely nuts.
  6. After seeing the show, and being realistic with what’s been played or rehearsed and understand no JT being played, I think this would be incredible

    That's why I haven't seen any videos, just heard the streams. I want to be amazed by the screen, the effects, the light work, the intermission


    Thats like me. Im keeping up with the setlist and listening to bootlegs, but not watching any videos (apart from pride, 13, LIAWHL/Blackout which ive seen on youtube) You gotta have some sort of surprise for the shows!
