maybe acrobat and wild horses already served their purpose in getting people to buy tickets they hadn't intended to based on an expectation of those songs appearing and now they've cleared a few unsold seats they can stop the pretence plus they distracted from what is a shit setlist.
I feel kinda betrayed by that current setlist. Lazy, stupid and pretty much not worth the money - we had half of the show a dozen times, it's enough.
They lost their balls. Instead of doing something different, something brave - the pull the safety card. Again. That totally sucks.
Same shit every time. They're too old for rocknroll. Maybe they better call it a day.
Come on here, just 1 setlist 2 weeks before the first show.
There might be more to come.
And it is the E&I tour, so I am happy with the SOI songs, but missing Red Flag Day and Book of your heart. The only rarities we will get is Acrobat and Wild Horses, If we are lucky.

they can't actually play a simple rock n roll show anymore, they've become slaves to the gimmicks. A circus act with bigger and brighter tents. Take away the lights, screens, walkways, setpieces etc and they would be completely lost just playing a straight forward show from one end of the arena. They are neither good enough musicians to rehearse and nail exceptional numbers of songs and the screens are so much part of the show that they can't suddenly wander off down the road of say i threw a brick/a day without me because it will throw the whole circus act out. Nor are they interested in rehearsing such numbers of songs - well one of them isn't he's more interested in getting on a plane to texas apparently.
