    Yeah, I vaguely recall an interview where I think it was either Bono or Edge said they had to go out and buy all their back catalogue on CD during rehearsals prior to a tour to relearn their own songs as they hadn't played them for over a decade (typical exaggeration, as they'd probably played them a couple of years previously or something).

    Can't remember when this was from, think maybe either Zoo TV or Pop, but its stuck in my mind ever since.
    Even in the Australian Skies UF leg they had to buy their records again to re- learn them.
    My point is that they are not the most gifted, naturally talented musicians. All of their songs need practice, practice. So no IWF or Vertigo in the rehearsals make a good case for claiming we won't hear them in opening night.
  2. How many individual songs have been rehearsed? Enough for a 2hr 15 minute set?
  3. The Joshua Tree in full

    New Year's Day
    Sunday Bloody Sunday
    A Sort Of Homecoming
    Pride
    MLK
    Ultraviolet
    One
    Miss Sarajevo
    Beautiful Day
    The Little Things You Give Away
  4. Not enough for any rotation then. They must be up to more behind the scenes.

    As much as I'd love to hear Bad and even The Unforgettable Fire again, I'll leave pretty happy if this is what I hear at the Toronto show (although there's still loads of time before that show).
  6. 17 80's era songs and 5 post 80's. liking this so far. If Larry is here lol you think he told the band that we are tired of COBL, Vertigo and MW?

    If Larry were here, he'd make sure to pass everyone's thoughts on MS before he'd say anything else...

  8. I'm sure of that. But I think EBW fits in this tour in the encore after One.
  9. I'd rule Exodus out but I think Shine Like Stars will appear quite often this tour.
