    OK, hilight a different album every night, except pop ...unless they actually were to go back and FINISH those songs as Bono has often mentioned, id like to see where they were trying to go with it.


  2. screw multi-show cities....do it every night! This set list feels stale.


  5. Looks like it. Has there been more than 2 dates in one city on this tour so far? Can't think of any off the top of my head. If not, maybe they'll throw some curveballs tomorrow night...


  6. They're on the longest tour of their lives, it was bound to happen sooner or later. They just need a wider slot for rotating songs than the two songs (which has now been reduced to one, with the new and improved opener) that follow Still Haven't Found. Should be between that song and COBL that is rotated each night. Nobody in the general greatest hits crowd going to U2 show is just oh-so-dying to hear IALW and Miss Sarajevo. They could be playing bigger, better, and more "WOW" songs than that.

    To me, it's a nice enough song (esp. when it was full band from Elevation), but it just got played to death on this tour.


    It was played a bit too much in 2009, but it doesn't get played much anymore.

    And a big part of those "WOW" songs is actually making use of the claw and all her glory (as they do during parts of EBTTRT)

    I actually love how the remixed songs like Gone and Staring at the Sun for the Best of 1990-2000 album. They sound more finished to me. The regular album versions now sound just so-so after hearing those.

    "Stratospheric" i think would be a good description for the songs they need tobe playing this tour.
