Originally posted by Release3:I forgot to mention Bullet The Blue Sky. Bullet-Hands-Pride is hands down the best part of the show. Bullet the Blue Sky is soooooooooooooooo good this tour (maybe even the best version?) so I'm really happy that came back.
Originally posted by Release3:Every single song this tour (except the SOI tracks of course) has been played on 360, 2 from Vertigo (Gloria and Electric Co). The only exceptions were the rare and quickly dropped When Love Comes To Town and October. So minus TWO songs that were dropped super quick, every song being played have been regulars for 10 years. That's pretty frustrating. At least 360 gave us Ultraviolet, The Unforgettable Fire, and shit they even played MLK, and of course towards the end we got Zooropa, The Fly, Scarlet, and at the time Even Better was amazing. I'm not saying have a dream setlist where they play Acrobat, the whole second side of Joshua Tree, all of POP, and every song they have never played live, but fucking-a play at least one song that you haven't been hashing out over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again regularly for a decade straight... (I don't want to take anything away from October (which I doubt will ever be played again), Gloria, or Electric Co. They are great songs, but Gloria has only been played a few times, and Electric Co is usually every other night. You might get a show where you don't get to hear any songs that were played prior to 360 and I attended one of those shows. The new songs are incredible and I'm happy they're playing more than 2 or 3 of them like what happened at the end of 360, but give us something... anything...) Rant over, sorry! haha
First part of the set is fixed and I can live with that but the second part could be even more "loose" + encore could be a lot more interesting Originally posted by BigGiRL:Apart from surprises, I would also like to see the band once keeping their focus and concentration, at least up until the encore. Last night seem togago that way all the way up to Elevation (I know, not everyone likes this song, but it was undeniable played with much verve and energy).
I respect Lady Gaga as an artist, but her tribute felt out of place. Not per se the version of Ordinary Love as such, but rather that the band - or at least Bono - seemed to have lost their inspiration and energy. Like if Gaga used it all up... (does that make sense?)
