Originally posted by superkev:Happy with the setlist. They are always going to play the crowd pleasers because not everybody listens to bootlegs everyday and will want to hear the prides and the Beautiful days. They have to provide for the hardcore and the casual fans. Thats just the way it is.
Originally posted by LikeASong:[..]Amen, that's it. We can't request a setlist full of Acrobats and Promenades, 1) because it would be incredibly boring (even for us die hard fans) and 2) because WOWY, One, Pride ETC are the hits that made U2 so incredibly big, they can NOT get rid of them. And they're damn good songs, why denying it??
Originally posted by LikeASong:[..]That could work for One, but SBS is one of the most political songs they ever done, how the hell can you imagine they'd quit all political acting and references into it?
No chance.

I hear what you are saying, but I'd just prefer they let the song "do the politicking" if you know what I mean. If Bono sings Sunday Bloody Sunday with some passion, and maybe a one political one liner, it would be so much better than a 5 minute speech/lecture prior to singing it.

i remember when they used to like to "keep it interesting" for themselves... sorry but so far what has been played doesn't really interest me at all apart from the 2 songs i already mentioned...
I think I'd rather have well-rehearsed and spot-on performances of the new material than poorer performances of random older songs just for the sake of playing them.
