Including Red Hill Mining Town, Acrobat, Unforgettable Fire, A Sort of Homecoming, Two Hearts Beat As One, Exit and some Pop stuff, even if you can't play them properly anymore.

As for the taping, I think the band allows it as does McGuiness (they haven't stopped it happening for the last 20+ years)
Originally posted by rmann83Maybe I'm the minority here but I don't think U2 needs to do anything to better its relationship with its fans, our relationship is fine.
Could U2.com use fixing? I don't know, I don't go there, I come here for my U2 updates and trivia. I'm not into bands because of how well kept their site is or how good their programming and communication skills are. A band's ONLY and SOLE communication link to their fans should be their music, period.
And I certainly don't think the band owes their fans anything but good songs. They should follow their own setlists and build their own themes and images. Fans are fans because they follow their favorite band, it should NEVER be the other way around. Is there music I wish they would play recently? Sure. But them not playing Tryin to Throw Your Arms Around the World on the Vertigo tour certainly doesn't effect my relationship with them.
And I thought we went over all this already but Paul McGuinesses isn't ruining anyone's image with anything.
As for all my SHOULD's and NEVER's up there, this is all of course, in my humble opinion

They don't. They rather have a blind eye policy.You have to stealth tape. There's no taper's section and you still get thrown out if you get busted.
If they could decide to go taper friendly, it would make things much easier.
