    - 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.

    On what grounds have you anything to back this lot up lol? Other than the shiz WW mentioned in your last point...I have to say I treat this as likely, but I'll be happy to be proved wrong as ever
  2. No Drowning Man please... but please do replace The Unforgettable Fire.


    I'd be ecstatic if we got Drowning Man, and devastated if we didn't get UF. But I'm in the camp that doesn't think the setlist is going to change much, so no worries (I hope) for me thus far as far UF goes...

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


    Agree completely.

    - 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


    Wow, I disagree with everything in your post (minus Mofo).

    Neither song is all that exciting to me. If they want to play something else from War play "Two Hearts Beat As One".

    Where did WW mention this stuff?


  6. Agree with you Jeremy.

    WOWY in Cardiff still grabbed me by the short and curlies. It went on and on, we got a kinda mini solo from Edge and a deafening second set of Whoah, whoah, whoah etc. I thought he was going into Shine Like Stars but sadly not. It was still very good though. Plenty of passion.

  8. Buggered if I remember lol, I do remember reading it though. Might have been mentioned by u2gigs or @u2 on Twitter...

    Haha, yeah - having listened to it getting a little murdered during Vertigo, I'm much preferring the 360 renditions; Wembley 1 was magical for me, being in amongst it all and being able to see everything at Sheffield from where I was just added to the overall experience. Would like to see other songs get a chance but WOWY still holds something for me.
  9. Originally posted by haytrain: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.


    What is SIaMYCGO?
