  8. you could go to the show with a sign saying Wave of Sorrow and you would have a chance they play it


  9. hahahha you are going to far !!

    The Cure made shows with 50 songs ...Bruce close to 30 , so why not dream about a U2 show with 30 songs ??

    With 15 changes every show !! that would be a nice dream

  12. Last years helsinki came to 38 songs, including the pre-show, nassau coliseum on 31 12 80 was also 38 songs long. The shows have always been different from one night to another but it's the 'reunion'era from 1999 where it's just gone a bit mad. And the sign phenomenon has taken it to a whole new level in the last few years. On his own on the devils and dust tour it was clearly a case of he had set points within the concert but how he navigated the in between bits was down to him and what he fancied playing or could remember. He's not alone though mccartney regularly does nearly 40 song sets - admittedly there's only minor differences from night to night or more specifically where there are multiple shows in a city Elton john tends to change it up a bit, Prince too although there are huge sections of prince's back catalogue that he won't play. It's a regular thing for prince to do a 2-2.5 hour gig and then go on to a smaller venue the same night and play up to another 1.5 hours. At the opposite end try being a sting fan he's basically spent the last nine years with the same set list. This comes from someone who claims to get bored easily and want to be challenged musically (but not by his bank manager obviously). Just to put this thought out there are U2 up to performing a long show particularly Bono's voice couldn't hold up to three hours a night and are they capable musically - if you listen to rehearsals and soundchecks they can be a bit all over the place on even common stuff sometimes. If there's a sudden request for shadows and tall trees god knows what might happen - are they willing to look stupid Bruce clearly couldn't care less - he's done it to the band himself, changing the opening song between the lights going out and getting to the microphone. Bruce clearly has a great method for getting the requested songs lyrics on to the teleprompter but would that have been feasible for Bono wandering a stadium on 360? personally i think Bruce is on a mission to play everything at least once. We need his reaction to requests of songs only on bootlegs though - cos if he's got those on the teleprompter we need the teleprompter to see what else he's got on there.
