Originally posted by aparofanI think they should retire Pride, One, New Year's Day, and Sunday Bloody Sunday. I almost included Streets in there but I think they can still get some juice of that one if they didn't play it as often. All of these songs sound tired to me. They don't have near the energy they used to. I think they'll continue to play all of them though which is OK. I don't dislike any of them.
No way! Especially Streets - if I went to a show and didn't hear these it'd feel odd. The show would be sort of out of whack - not really U2.
In truth, I don't think any song should be dropped (even if it is One) because it's U2 and those five songs you listed made them - they could play just those every night and it would still rock. Imagine if John Lennon was still alive and he completely abandoned Imagine, the Beatles dropping Ringo Starr and Michael Jackson refusing to ever play Thriller again in a show - that's what it would be like.
