    Hope this will be the case when they continue in 2016 with Songs Of Experience.
    At least the "experience" part of the show has been the most surprising and mixed up part (= "act 2," or the part after the intermission/intermezzo - I think it should be called intermezzo now that they're in Europe!).

    Still, I think the 'i+e" shows are brilliant. I can understand the band's point of view that they HAVE to take this on the road first.
    It's ZOO TV 2.0 - and compared to the ZOO TV "original series" there has already been far more change and rotation (as people just keep pointing out....)

    Yes... but look at shows count. 360 three years 110 shows. i+e 76 shows just in one year!!!
  3. I'm so unbelievably excited for London night 2, counting down the days! However, I'm going to be crushed if they don't play One...and given the current trend of ISHFWILF being the closer of the second night it seems likely I won't be hearing it. This makes me very sad indeed.

    Also, though it's probably a controversial opinion among many here I'd be made up if they went for the standard AoH/Desire combo on the E-stage, simply because I never got those on my 360 gig...never heard Mysterious Ways too!

    IMO they should ditch COBL, have BD and One in the encore every night and rotate Bad and 40 as closers.
  4. Well, it's almost 50 songs that have been played in total, but the BAD part of it is that there's a block of 18 songs that doesn't change between nights and hasn't changed since the very start of the tour. That means a 80% of the setlist is static, regardless how many one-off songs they have played and bumped the total list. That's what makes up for a really staple, repetitive setlist. I would prefer a smaller total song count but a smaller % of same songs played every feckin' single night, and I guess many agree.
  5. Logistics plays a HUGE part there.

    The problem is that they only change 4 songs every show . And many songs were played few times .

    40 (8 times)
    Volcano (8 times)
    Zooropa (8 times)
    Sweetest Thing (7 times)
    Gloria (6 times)
    All I Want Is You (5 times)
    Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of (5 times)
    The Troubles (4 times)
    When Love Comes To Town (4 times)

  7. of course it could be worst ... Look at ZOO TV or Pop mart ( both awesome tours)
