    Great idea. Once you know about what their vision about this tour and what The Little Things is about, the latter makes a lot of sense as the closer, and throwing an old hit after it cancels the whole concept.
    Swapping the songs you mention could really work.
    They should start with a Boy song and end with SOE song.
  4. Almost the video played before Exit @1:00. They took bits of it for the show.

  5. Such an exciting time to see the band playing these shows! A few thoughts so far:

    -The stage set-up looks incredible, as is the opening salvo of songs on the b-stage. Streets has been given new life with the traditional red screen intro. Speaking of which, I wonder if they'll play TJT out of sequence when they get to Europe? Streets really needs that big intro in total darkness, perhaps an encore opener?

    -22 songs is a tad short given they played 24 on the I&E tour, and Miss Sarajevo/The Little Things (even though I get the idea behind it) is too mellow an ending and jarring for casual fans. Add in one more song to the pre-JT run and another (more up tempo) song in between the final two songs. Hell, putting One as the closer would do it for me.

    -Bono sounded mostly very good, save for a few hiccups which is perfectly understandable at 57 years old. You can tell he was testing the water as he's got a lot of tough stuff to get through. It sounds like he gave it his all in the rehearsals too, hopefully he'll get more comfortable as the tour progresses. It's been a while (360 era) since we've seen him push himself on the ending to Streets, I hope he gives it an attempt once again

    He didn't sound quite as strong on Ultraviolet when compared to 360 but then again that was 8 years ago now...during a period where his voice was arguably the best it had been since the late 80s/early 90s. Switch out Elevation for Vertigo too, those falsettos are tough for him so late on in the set.

    I'm really going to try and leave things till London now, just in case there are any changes!
  8. Guys what is the first chance we'll see a Pro-shot, web cast etc?
