  2. Mysterious Ways doesn't need the extended solo.
  3. The solo makes a Good song become a GREAT song.

    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


    Attempt # 2

    Put Into The Groove during the openingsriff
  6. 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!!

    yeah but would've made a lot more sense at the start of the show - not two songs from the end! "what time is it in the world? almost time to go home!"

    for the third time HMTM first BD second!!!!

  8. 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!






    here's my attempt no2 !

  9. bono is epic here right? uteotw: THE EEEEEEEEEDDDDDGGGEEEEE

    Thx for your response

    LOL actually I didn't refer to the songs but pure the show setting. Lights (elevation tour style) and the fact that Bono is on the B stage right from the start. This seems the opposite from the 2009 legs. I think it has a postive effect on the rest of the show for the band and public, talking communication
