I remember that 2009 was a bit dark for teh 1st 3/4 songs and the band sticked close together. Some friends and I were discussing that it gave the show a dark " intention" and to much of the wanted "intimacy". In other words we never really lost the first impressions of the 2009 show. Its not critique but just our experience.

Now on this leg they seem to do the opposite, bright lights and Bono out on the rim from starters.
Personally I like it, as a change but also as a communicative statement to the audience
Seems the whole is more open from the first vids

Originally posted by ric:nice to wake up today and see a batman video already!! but it just re-enforces my view that it should have been much earlier in the show (ie first instead of BD) especially as bono shouts "showtime" at the end!! i also have to agree that UV works a lot better for that part of the show unless they change the spaceship intro... so once again - KEEP UV AND MOVE BATMAN TO THE START!

but the thing that makes no sense to me at all is that i cant believe that when the stingray thing is played the lights are all on ala elevation tour?!?!? the stadium should be dark and the stage should be erupting with strobes and everything else it can throw at us! thats the only way to open a stadium show with a stage like that and a rocking song like that! can you imagine zootv or popmart starting with all the lights on and the stage slowly limping into life?!

and i'm not overly keen on glastonbury - i agree it sounds like a b-side from an era i'm not keen on.. north star is a nice enough little song though.

so good start but yes the setlist and running order and definitely the start of the show needs work!

Originally posted by LikeASong:I agree on that, snortier, the opening with Stingray-Beautiful Day, although is a bit crappy because of the lights one etc, has that special feeling of "communicating" with the crowd since the very beggining. I read your post yesterday, don't know why I didn't reply. Good point!!
