They played a lot of early stuff over the course of the tour though, 12 pre JT songs . The band themselves must sense the need to freshen things up with the lesser played 90’s tracks and possibly some underplayed stuff from ATYCLB and HTDAAB also, I think NLOTH will still be left out.

but not regularly. There were only 4 or 5 slots in the setlist for that era, 3 of which were always filled with 'I will Follow', 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'Pride'.

Some nights there was as many as 7, in Glasgow they played Gloria, bad, 40, October and the 3 you mentioned. Add to that bullet, Streets, WOWY, desire and angel Of Harlem and you’ve got 12 from the one decade. The show was definitely 80’s heavy compared to other decades, obviously excluding the songs from the album they were touring. I think this tour should be 90’s heavy, with a hint of early 00’s.

now you're making a different distinction; it was about Innocence & Experience, not about 80's vs 90's. All recent tours did have more 80's songs than 90's.

Yeah that is two different distinctions to be fair. I guess I’m having a seperate debate whilst using your comment to respond to lol. But the reason I do so is because I think it is certain early ones that will miss out and later stuff taking it’s place and I think it will be tied into the theme, there will still be a good few of the old classics to tie in with it all and that’s where I guess Innocence and experience doesn’t really matter because Streets,WOWY, one, pride aren’t getting played because of the theme they’re getting played because they’re fan favourites. To put it simply I’m agreeing with your original comment to some extent but I do think the titles experience and innocence do have at least some influence on what songs they’ll play.
Originally posted by popmarter:The band really need to start extending the shows GnR were doing 3-4 hours a night on a 2 year tour recently and playing minimum 35 songs nobody left feeling short changed .U2 have such an impressive back catalogue that they could easily do a 30 song setlist although highly unlikely as they seem to like the less is more approach while charging top dollar but I think they will need to take a dramatically different approach on this tour for it to work some of the old stalwards need to be given a rest and bring in some old gems such as Discoteque,The Fly ,Love is Blindness, Gloria Desire ,if the show has too much SOE and SOI it could be a disaster but usually they know how to make it work and have a balance that pleases most.

A ) Any chance of split threads?
B) What has been rehearsed that we know of?
