1. Starting a concert like Springsteen sometimes does is not a way for U2 opening a concert, I think.

    The way for U2 is increasing up the "voltage" in the stadium with the music on the speakers, the intro and then a big BANG.
  2. but what Bruce does is not another way to start a concert .. it's just an extemporized extra

  3. Personally I do not like so much the solo opening of a concert.
  4. that's another issue

    example Padova .. you don't like the start with Tom Joad solo acoustic it's ok .. i loved it
    but what about the pre-set (regardless of the songs played) that happened 2hours and half - 3hours before the concert started?
  5. ^ that is what I (think) I (would) dislike. Opening a concert solo is another matter and depending on the song and the concert circumstances it can be amazing.

    Pre-Show:
    1. I'll Work for your Love
    2. Girls in their Summer Clothes
    3. Real World (piano)

    here's how the rest of the gig will pan out

    first 7-10 songs you'd probably kill for
    11+ darkness or bitusa = time to kill yourself
    usual ending of main set

    usual encores probably including one oddity

    game over
  7. And a great time for the people in the stadium, which is what probably matters to Bruce and his guys
  8. oh that's where i've been going wrong. I thought he was only interested in my opinion and nothing else.

    you will definitely not like U2's new tour and setlist
  10. how the hell do you know what i like or don't like about u2 - a u2 fan since 2007 telling someone who was there from 1981 onwards! i suspect even they don't know the setlist yet and no one knows when it starts so you're just talking bollocks all round really aren't you.
  11. Hey hey, keep it cool...
