  1. It's over played as it is currently. As someone else said, it wouldn't worry me if I never saw the current/original version again
  2. It was me that said that, but funny enough - had you asked me before my first U2 show (2009 leg of 360), which two songs I would have dropped from the setlist, I would have said Beautiful Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday, because the Vertigo tour turned me off of both so much...and yet for my first U2 show, they blew me away. Wouldn't have traded them out.

    In fact I guess I would have ditched Walk On and that Crazy Remix from my first show.

    And Beautiful Day remained one of my favorite moments of my second show as well. Funny how that all works out.

    I don't think it's overplayed. You just have heard it too many times
  4. I think what's crucial here is this: The performance was amazing. Fresh, energetic and Bono is spot on for tone and power. They still got it.

    Oh, and not that it makes any difference whatsoever but here is the official U2 upload.

    and is good to see you here Ross !!
  6. Thanks Pato. I take unannounced forum breaks now and then, but I never expect anyone to notice. I've also had a few major PC problems and only recently got it all rebuilt and functioning again. Rebuilt from the ground up and functioning perfectly once more.

    To be honest i missed your gifs
  8. You guys can say that SBS and Beautiful Day are overplayed, but in my mind it's not a U2 gig without those two. Streets also.

    I agree with every word.

    Yeah, but it is also opinionated whether someone thinks that those two songs are overplayed.

    Beautiful Day should have been dropped midway through 360 in my opinion - it just got too boring. Sunday Bloody Sunday, on the other hand, should be in the set a lot. It deserves to be. It never bores me.
  11. Didnt get boring for the ones who visited the show past midway in the tour And since they are paying the tickets I guess they deserve BD.
  12. When U2 plays a show, they aren't thinking about people like us (hardcore fans that stream every show), they are thinking about the guy who is coming to see U2 for his first time, so they play their hits (BD, SBS, Pride). No one person goes to every U2 concert and thinks "They're playing Sunday again? Boring, these guys really need to step it up."


    When a song is "boring," it is played the same way over and over. U2 must have found a way to play the song that the crowd enjoys (2009 intro/astronaut segment).

    I've only been to one U2 show ever, and I must say, the way they played those songs were perfect for the occasion. I didn't think about the fact that every song they played was the same way as the night before, or even the fact that they dropped The Fly.
