Originally posted by u2opra:Yeah they used LAPOE quite a few times, here's an example of one show:

Originally posted by dieder:Did they ever open with Love And Peace? I only heard that was their first idea of opening with. I think Breathe is a very good opener. That outro is amazingly powerfull and after that it kicks right in NLOTH (which is outstanding too).
Originally posted by DavePoptart:I think the north American leg of the tour will see a new opener for the show and some newe songs. Just because when U2 come on stage in the USA it is dark already!!!!! Unlike in Europe it is still light out!!!!!!!!

Chicago! Mofo!
I'm all for Fez-Being Born being added to the setlist.
Maybe open or rotate with Unknown Caller.

They were thinking about it on the last tour. Bono kept saying ''it's coming'' and was supposedly rehearsed several times. It's early days yet...

Maybe the urge has passed. But they've gotta play something from Pop this tour.
Staring At The Sun has been in the vault for a while.
I think there's still more NLOTH to come and Fez-Being Born would beat White As Snow and Cedars and Stand Up as a live act IMO.
