    On the other hand, I prefer that Myterious Ways gets retired and UTEOTW stays instead
  2. I agree with Sergio on this one.

  3. I like both during 360 but not during Elevation and Vertigo.

    Anyway is time for "new " songs . I don t think that very old songs work fine with this moment of U2.

    Can still see The Troubles closing the show though. Look back on some of their tours and they always seen to end on a downer. Love Is Blindness - Zoo TV, Wake Up Dead Man - PopMart, Moment Of Surrender - 360 Tour.


    Hence why I picked Invisible as a closer. It seems fittingly appropriate to finish off a show with an upbeat electro rocker that leaves off the audience in a good mood, not to mention "There Is No Them, Only Us" sounds like a you are a unique fanbase and we love you.

    I toyed with this idea and I'm glad other people can see it too.
  7. Can Sleep Like a Baby Tonight with a The Wanderer snippet be a thing please? As in intro or outro? They came on back to back tonight on my iTunes and it was incredible.
  8. They just need to mix it up every night, indoors might mean less production so they can be more flexible, make it longer too... Pearl Jam's sets this year have contained 35/36 songs, a good third larger than a U2 standard set.
  9. 35/36 songs is a monstrous set! I guess U2 could do it if they had no chatter, no speeches, no Bono being Bono. Either that or start the concert earlier so they have more time to play around with.

    But I guess you're right about the advantages of indoor arenas. Arenas typically aren't noise restricted because they are enclosed and you don't have to worry about lighting since it's all under your control. On the other hand, production can take advantage of the arena's screen set-up to enhance production. I know Vertigo did a fair bit of that.

    I don' think Bono's voice could withstand a setlist over 25 songs on a continual basis. Would be nice to see them crack over the 2 and a half hour mark for a concert.
  11. Having way too much fun with this...

    Created a playlist in iTunes with this setlist and it works very well.

  12. I really hope they give some of the classics a rest, like With Or Without You, Sunday Bloody Sunday, City Of Blinding Lights and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.

    Not totally satisfied with the order / feel of the setlist, but I dared to dream a bit and just hope that some older gems/rarities have a comeback, like Hawmkoon 269, Bullet The Blue Sky, Sweetest Thing or A Sort Of Homecoming (mabye a bit reworked?)
