So just a quick question, and I'd probably be able to answer this for myself if I took some time to look, but I know others around here can probably answer for me

Have tickets to the first Montreal show this summer, and the Toronto show. The way it goes is:
Montreal - July 8th
Montreal - July 9th
Toronto - July 11th

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like U2 tends to be more experimental currently on the 2nd night of a city that they're playing. I really hope this isn't the case, because I'd rather not miss something like Bad or whatever, but then if they ARE more experimental the second night, does that usually carry onto the next city if there's only 1 performance in that next city? What I mean is, if the show on the 9th has more experimental material, will the show on the 11th have aroudn the same set?

Or am I looking at seeing 2 of the same shows with a bit of a conservative setlist? Right now it's almost impossible to tell, seems like very show is totally different.

I'd say most likely yes you're probably right - the show on the 9th might have a couple of different songs, and the show on the 11th might have one or both of those same two songs from the 9th. I wouldn't worry too much about missing anything on the 11th that you won't see on the 9th.

BUT - with the way things are going now, who knows. You might get three completely different setlists. who knows what they'll be doing for the North American leg...

sometimes i find very hard understanding which songs stand behind the acronyms used (htgm lmou cthn .. LOL) ..for me it takes longer to figure the song out than to read the post itself.

i'm really a dummy old style mind

There are some tricky ones... DGPFYCC is Daddy's Gonna Pay, and first time I saw it shortened I was like WTF? Other tough ones are IYWTVD (Velvet Dress), SDABTO (Some Days Are Better Than Others), TSOHOSOS (Two Shots Of Happy...) and ITABTAW (I Threw A Brick...) hahaha

but also in writing them .. isn't easier and quicker to write the title or part of it than thinking at the first letter of each word and then writing it?

hehehe
wondering if there are two songs that have the same acronym ...

WOWY or MOS are much quicker, but indeed some of that acronyms are harder to write than the actual full title.

And no, I'm not aware of any U2 songs that share acronyms...
