Changes In The Setlist For 2010

Chris, I'm not joking- here's what I hate about the tour right now:

-In a Little While
-Walk On
-No NLOTH
-Show Intro

I'll deal with the show intro- I'm all about them trying something new. And I've given up on complaining about Walk On; I'm just used to it. I'm fine with it. I'm not one to complain about Elevation- it was one of the songs (the Vertigo Chicago performance) that got me to start looking deeper into their live catalouge, because I didn't know they changed songs like they changed Elevation. I like hearing it. I DON'T like hearing IALW, and I can't STAND not hearing NLOTH.

Mark my words. Will not complain.

The show from last year developed into something so rock solid that it's hard to break it apart and fit new ideas in, but having captured that show on the Rosebowl DVD, it was clear that we have to refresh the show to some degree.
We need a new opening certainly, then maybe three or four new songs to keep it interesting for us as much as everyone else.
I've been keen to put in Mercy, for the novelty value of playing something unreleased, and then there's Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World which will be a winner if we can make the production elements happen. Perhaps inspired by opening the tour in Italy, Bono suggested Miss Sarajevo.
Looking through the set he then put his finger on Ultraviolet and wondered if there was another song we could put there which would still work with the hanging microphone and laser jacket. After a minute or two he suggested Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, which hasn't seen the light of day since PopMart.
In many ways Ultraviolet was the great stealth surprise of last year - a little known album track which came back and stole the show (like a modern day Bad) - but it's on the DVD and in the security of knowing we have it in the bag, it's good to be able to think about alternatives.
To give ourselves a sense of how it might be, we watched the performance of Ultraviolet from the Rosebowl DVD, whilst listening to Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. It's clearly not going to be a straight 'cut and paste' but it was a lot more promising than I'd thought. I love that song too - such a big, glam, bombastic thing. It used to sound so good on the PopMart tour.
