    New York is long gone. Yahweh's chance is just as slim. I think the US shows will see the same setlist Mexico is seeing now, and I doubt they're going to "debut" any more songs before the end of the tour. We've got Zooropa and EBTTRT, not to mention what seems like countless others that the US hasn't seen yet. Look what's happened since the claw landed in the states:

    -North Star
    -Even Better Than the Real Thing
    -Miss Sarajevo
    -Zooropa
    -Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
    -Return of the Stingray Guitar
    -Scarlet
    -I Will Follow
    -Out of Control
    -These Discotheque/Please snippets
    -Magnificent Remix

    and songs that I really don't see happening very often/at all anymore, but still...

    -Every Breaking Wave
    -Glastonbury
    -One Tree Hill
    -Love Rescue Me

    That's a TON of new material since the US leg. We're already getting a fresh show.

    If you take last night's Mexico setlist and compare it to the setlist I saw in Chicago on the 2nd leg, I'd be hearing 10 completely different songs. That's a HELL of a setlist change compared to the 5 or so that generally get tossed about per tour. Almost half the setlist, really.



    I totally agree that it will be SATS that will get a play if anything from Pop,i also agree that the leg will be pretty much what we see in Mexico,its amazing so many songs have aired since the last visit to the U.S and the 2009 gigs now seem like a different tour almost.
    I do think they will play the Glastonbury song in the couple of gigs before Glasto,maybe just to get it right in front of an audience again.

    As for Yahweh i think this will be snippetted in future tours.

  2. I can see the Fly and maybe Gone returning, that's it



  3. Say "Lemon"...say "Lemon"...say "Lemon",,,keep saying it and it will be so.

    (and "The Fly," too)


  4. I'm afraid Bono would totally butcher "Lemon" these days...


  5. I thought so too but I was reminded that it is not the high notes Bono has trouble with but the low ones - like in "With or Without You"...but I see your point.
  6. It's not one of my favorite U2 songs, but I'd love to see Discotheque.


  7. agree with you on that!! I'd love to see gone make a comeback... I think bullet the blue sky making a comeback wouldn't be the worst thing either

    I supposed BTBS has been shellved for long enough,,,it should be paired up with "Running to Stand Still," however.

    I can't immediately think about a song with really high notes they play now


  10. Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Will Follow, Vertigo.
  11. ^Where The Streets Have No Name too. It's been back in it's original key since the Vertigo Tour, personally i think Bono's singing it really well this era. Especially the high note in the chorus.


  12. They don't play Pride very often anymore.
    About the others, ok, but they're not songs that are constantly high or am I wrong ?
    I mean, it's not à la Lemon, Daddy's Gonna Pay or Mysterious Ways - ZooTV style is it ?
    We can't expect that from Bono anymore I believe.
