    Can see it on a few of the Seattle videos. Missing I Will Follow. Unless the band go back to theatres and clubs then this will be he norm. Casuals buy lots of tickets.
  2. Obviously they are more committed to MS than new song. I love Little Things, just not as a closer
    And would rather see it than MS, but I guess tehy'd rather stick to nailing refugee crisis home than work up excitement for new material...
  3. According to the setlist, Little Things was supposed to follow Bad.

    Couldn't have said it better, outwith the second half of TJT, the little things and ASOH are the songs I'm most looking forward to, starting to doubt I'm going to get to hear the little things now.
  5. Anyone want to buy an extra ticket for rosebowl? $40
  6. Probably sensing that it wouldn't get attention it deserves...
    Let's hope it will return to set tonight...if only to show some rotation for a 2nd night
  7. What was security like getting into the venue? Wands? Walk through metal detector? Pat downs? Hoping to get recording gear in tonight.
  9. Good to see Little Things was on the setlist. Maybe they just felt like ending on high energy with IWF, as they did in Seattle, but just did not have time for both.
  10. Wipe you arse with pages from the Bible? Really Bono? Here is the quote that scrolled up the screen before last night's concert:

    "If only they had used the white supremacy bibles
    for toilet paper purpose"

    How very erudite and cosmopolitan. He spent the entire concert ramming his favorite social causes down our throat based on some morality he gleans from where? The Bible. What a hypocrite.

    He rails against walls and borders from a concert stage surrounded by a wall and high security to enter. He wants more screening at his concerts than countries have for their borders. I'll go get my hypocritical civics lesson again tonight. Hopefully he sings "It's the Little Things" and listens to the line "your big mouth in the way".

    How very erudite and cosmopolitan. To quote Bono, "you stoop so low just to reach so high".
    It's from a poem called 'Puerto Rican Obituary' by Pedro Pietri.

    No bags, walk through detectors and wands. That said, it was the easiest and sloppy implementation of the nfl security policy. Wasn't even looking at the stuff you put on the counter. I know at least seven tapers who got stuff in.
