    i still stand by that, look at the last few shows, no variety, no new songs, identical setlists. (we'll not batman during this but it is hardly new is it??)

    2009 and 2010 had so much more variety, new songs and suprises. yea it's good to have zooropa and ebttrt back but as for the rest?? same old same old.


    just my opinion.


    Who needs to switch it up when you have perfection?

    Honestly, the band is in WAY better form during this leg than they have been for the entire tour thus far.

    It's not about the variation in the setlist, it's about the quality of the performance. They've finally got their perfect setlist and don't need to shuffle songs in and out to make it work. They've struck the perfect balance of new and old. (Plus these are all 1 night stays in cities, not 3 like in Brazil)
  4. Well, that was it. It was enjoyable although I was hoping for that surprise. See ya all later good night from here!!
  6. your missing the point, its about variety not performance.

    i would see u2 100 times and have the same setlist and be ecstatic.

    u2 are on great form but what makes each show special?? the fans, us.
  7. I'm afraid Mr Genaro, your show is most likely to be different than the first one. Wouldn't be surprised if you get Ultraviolet. But you may end up getting The Fly in the end, who knows.

    By the way, why is there a 10 day gap between Oakland and Anaheim when they are both in the same state?

    Anyway, I need to enter a new year at school today, so enjoy your day everyone
  8. See you, Kieran, good luck!


  9. Not new songs literally, but the new format of the setlist and the old 09 style. Even Better - Zooropa is pretty radical compared to 2009 and then COBL to the rest is pretty standard. I still like this format. And if you break it down all the albums are represented (except Pop kind of, unless you count Batman as a POPMart era song) its very diverse now.

    The political section and the Astranaut stuff is gone thank god. (although I kinda like the new BD intro)

    Im loving All I Want is You soo much more than I Still Haven't Found. And Batman is with the backing track (it was missing in europe, sounded flat.) and the Will You Still Love Me Tmrw is great

    Overall I don't see the need to swap I Will Follow / NYD. Still Haven't / All I Want. UV and Batman so much because these are 1 night stays.

    Oh but for Anaheim 2 if its a battle for UV/Batman/The Fly I'll be happy for any of them
  10. By the way, why is there a 10 day gap between Oakland and Anaheim when they are both in the same state?

    when were these dates worked out?? this may have been done to give glasto rehersal time?? who has the details?

    I don't know why there's a 10 day gap, but I do know that if that gap were any less, I would still be taking finals and would therefore be unable to attend. Thank goodness for the gap!
