    Well with Elevation being rehearsed and the new song, it's at 22 right now.

    Actually, it is better than in 1987. I went to my first U2 show in Rotterdam in '87 and it had only 19 songs. Opening night in Tempe, Arizona had only 17 songs.....

  3. Elevation or Vertigo...doesn´t matter both songs are poor if you compare it with their 80´s catalogue.


  4. Or, BD>New song is the encore, and the mysterious songs are after JT and before BD.

    Yes but the last tour had 25 or 26 songs even 27 at one show and tickets were IR£18 in 1987 !!
  6. I don't think ticketprices have, even remotely, anything to do with the number of songs performed.
  7. Really. Thankfully the band do !!
  8. At least they are skipping COBL...
  9. Ticketprices are related to production costs me thinks.
    In 1987, there was only a simple stage and some lights.

    anyway, I prefer quality over quantity.
    I would happily pay topprice for a short setlist, something like:

    Mofo
    Do You Feel Loved
    Ultraviolet
    Acrobat
    Heartland
    Walk to the Water

    encore:
    Luminous Times
    Bad
    40

    I think Beautiful Day has got to the stage where if U2 don't play Beautiful Day at a show, it'd be like Springsteen not playing Born To Run during one of his shows.
