  1. I don't expect a different opener, Breathe is doing fine

    They'll keep the same NLOTH-songs, with a possible addition of Stand Up Comedy in the variable part (a la All Because Of You). I agree about the one saying that they'll play a normal version of Crazy Tonight: America has always been the country where such stuff doesnt really seems to work (Pop was the proof), so I expect them to play it normal indeed.

    I also agree on Bullet The Blue Sky, imagine Vertigo with BTBS right after it

    I see MLK being replaced by Promenade.
  2. If they get rid of the "I'll Go Crazy" remix, I will be pissed beyond belief.

    I would be very happy if we had the same setlists that Europe did.

    I dont think they will change much in the first couple of shows. After that I expect some shake ups like in Europe. Big changes in setlists will come next year I guess, when they release SoA.

    MLK replaced by Promenade? No way, MLK found a new meaning with Suu Kyi together with Walk On
  4. Originally posted by Johnny99:Here is what I think we might expect for the next leg:

    - incoming of Bullet, probably replacing SBS
    - Crazy Tonight remix replaced by Even Better remix
    - WOWY replaced by Crazy Tonight in standard version ( if Bullet would be back, the number of Joshua Tree songs will be keeped then ); there will be a strong reason for playing CT in normal - the new single release. And this, as I think, is the reason for rehearsing Even Better
    - Drowning Man will become a regular replacing Unforgettable Fire ( if SBS would be gone, this will keep the number of War songs ); on the other hand I'm not sure if they'll put UF out just before the time of UF reedition, maybe DM will go into the " variable part "
    - I Will Follow will be played somewhere during the " changeble area ". And maybe Gloria also.
    - if YBR will make it into the set, it would be played probably somewhere middle, like ISS chats did.
    - White As Snow / October / NYD ? Well, if WW is saying so..

    This is probably all we can say considering what we already know about the band's workings. But I also expect some more surprises.



    -I definitely don't want Bullet The Blue Sky replacing Sunday Bloody Sunday.
    - I'm OK with the Even Better Than The Real Thing remix, though I really want to hear the I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight Remix.
    -No Drowning Man please... but please do replace The Unforgettable Fire.
    - And three words: STAND UP COMEDY

  5. I think the shows in the US will be remarkably similar to the European ones. Possibly a different acoustic song (SIAMYCGO and AoH), possibly Sunday Bloody Sunday dropped for Bullet, but I'd bet money we're getting the remix version of Crazy. One of the more memorable parts of the show for sure. Don't see how they could just can it.

    I'd love to see Stand Up Comedy, but TUF is such a great song!
  8. id love to hear Stand Up
  9. I'm not very keen on Stand Up Comedy itself but they might change my thoughts when they work this thing out live... some effects and distortion could do the job. But don't make it a regular

    I hope of some sort of reinvention of the song kinda like how Ill Go Crazy was so different. Stand Up Comedy Remix???


  11. Well the song clearly has potential as a stadium rocker with that riff but you dont get there with that riff only. Things around that has to change dramatically. The song is just not very good, the riff is good but the ending is boring and needs some Jack White'ish things like fucking up the riff in the end (in a good way)
  12. my suggestions:
    - get a better opener (Breathe just doesnt work as an opener, i guess FEZ would be a great choice)
    - drop TUF, its sooooo boring
    - make SUC a regular part of the show
    - sing the WOWY like in Lovetown times and more importantly sing it with the shine like stars extra verse
    - play mofo, itd be so kick-ass in the claw!
    - play desire or/and AOH again
    - please dont play BTBS, the most overrated song
    - dont drop Pride just make it a closing song
    - do all of this and youll make a perfect show even more perfect
