So Cruel

Now, please play it next tour.

It's a shame the didn't pull out even more Achtung Baby tunes for the last leg(s) of the 360 tour. We got up to six songs in a single show (can't complain too much about that!) hearing the other six from time to time would have been nice.

Possible replacements/rotations:

Zoo Station for HMTMKMKM (although it was played in that position for many Vertigo tour shows AND that was sometimes UV spot in 2011) or Elevation
So Cruel for Miss Sarajevo
Love is Blindness for WOWY (just sometimes) or Moment of Surrender
TTTYAATW for Stay (again, just once in awhile) or maybe even ISHFWILF
Wild Horses for City of Blinding Lights or Pride, even
Acrobat for ...oh heck, just play the song anywhere!!!!

...or maybe I should stop living in the past two times over.

Miss Sarajevo's been played plenty over the last tours, so for SC's swap, I'd probably go for something like All I Want Is You.

The rest of those choices are pretty good.

Hate to say it, but Bono came off as a total knob in that "So Cruel" video....

I think they played enough AB songs on the tour, considering they were trying to promote a 20 year old album. If anything, they should have played more NLOTH songs and kept the unreleased tracks they started to play in 2010. The amount of AB songs was just right,. They have so much more songs to play, they shouldn't concentrate on one album.

Btw, the performance of So Cruel is amazing, I love Bono's voice and his guitar playing isn't that bad. Love the version and can't wait to watch it on the DVD.

A 20-year old classic album.

I see your point but I just want to be clear that I didn't mean they should play all 12 songs in one show but play all of them at some point during the 2011 legs of the tour.
