U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing
 Album:
Achtung Baby (1991)

  1. Wouldnt mind that much I think that POE and WILATW are the better songs on ATYCLB but still i would prefer Cedars of Lebanon to close xD


  2. And New York instead of Even Better, Grace for ISHF, Wild Honey for WOWY, When I Look At The World for SBS and Kite for COBL

    and a reprise of IALW in the end

  4. I love Wild Honey. Definitely have it in the set somewhere.
  5. Macphisto has sent me the recording of the second La Plata show, I'm currently at university but I will have the full afternoon free so expect it to be uploaded in around 3'5 hours from now! Moreover, upload speeds here are insane, so I will be able to upload it to plenty of servers in no time

    PS. It sounds great too, same quality as night1, maybe a little more individual singers and clappers, but music comes out astonishingly clear.

Originally posted by NumberFiveAlive:So sad that they play so many songs from ATYCLB and so few from NLOTH... because NLOTH is definetely better than the 2 last albums. 2 songs from HTDAAB is just right, do the same with ATYCLB (BD + Ele) and replace the rest... and if you hate Zooropa/Pop so much you cant play single song from them (which is sooo sad), just play somethin from NLOTH or the unreleased songs...


    I think HTDAAB is probably the best album of the last 3. Besides, I think they need to play Original Of The Species and Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own again.

    What about Window In The Skies? I know it was later released as a single, but at the time I'm sure it was unreleased.

    Also, I would much rather they drop Mysterious Ways. Personally, I feel that it just doesn't fit in the setlist... anywhere. Also, it seems to have fallen a bit flat lately.


    Mystarious Ways is always one of the best parts in the show. The whole stadium stops to jump and starts dancing...brilliant.

    I remember asking my friend that attended Sarajevo show which song was his favorite part of the concert. He said 'Mysterious Ways', without even thinking.

    It's a brilliant song.


  8. MW is a brilliant song, but I agree with ahn1991 in what he says that it doesn't "fit" very well in the show. It fit perfectly in the Zoo TV and Popmart, but has been floating around since then without a good setlist spot...

    This is especially true in the case of the Elevation Tour DVD U2 Go Home: Live From Slane Castle. Mysterious Ways was left out of the original DVD because it "didn't fit in". There's no doubt that Mysterious Ways is an amazing song, but I don't think it works well with this setlist. It's the same case with The Unforgettable Fire. It's an amazing song, but I'm glad it was eventually dropped. One of the interview links posted said that the song was extremely imposing in its awesome nature and I have to agree with that.
  10. I think Window In The Skies was played only after 18 Singles came out, a few shows after Saints.

    It's a brilliant song.

    Got the same reaction from a couple of my friends I went with to Sheffield.

    Couldn't say where I think the best setlist spot for it is though - I remember at Wembley 1 when they started playing it after One, it caught everyone completely unaware and was brilliant for it, but you look at ZooTV and PopMart and it was either early on or late down the order. To be honest, I think it's better off floating around, it's a song that fits wherever it ends up.

    It's a shame NLOTH has almost been completely discarded from the live arena, I think it's a great album with material that works well live, and the band really haven't given it an extended chance, but such is life.
  12. what we'll have in the future from No line is only Boots and Crazy remix like it happens with Vertigo and City of blinding lights from the Bomb
