    I wouldn't put it past them.
    I feel like Bono is always going to include SBS in the setlist to reference the latest shooting/atrocity/war zone
    I know, like U2 didn't write any other political song since 83.

    It was teased in the tour promo video.

    Ugh.
  3. I also don't think we freaked out enough by the inclusion of One in another tour again.
    No doubt the song is a masterpiece, but it has lost a lot of its punch. Another song that they need so that Bono can have his 5 minutes to thank everyone, mention the One campaign, give the old speech of "carry each other as one", etc.

    I’ve got a very clear line when it comes to that song live, if he sings all the lyrics I’m fine with it even though I agree it’s not got the power it had in the past, however I can’t be bothered with a sing along version.
  5. Nah they can't just repeat chunks of SOI tour surely .
    Maybe they've got lots of leftover newspaper cuttings they need to dump on us from the ceiling
    I like One but not in its modern live Karaoke format
    I just don't get why they won't freshen it all up and make it interesting even for themselves .
    Playing the likes of Elevation, Vertigo, beautiful Day , COBL it's just lazy
  6. In the full setlist they played, I Will Follow surprised me. No Desire, Acrobat that's disappointing. Why always Elevation and instead of COBL suits Streets better. I realy miss the greatest live song ever. Also disappointed. It looks like the encore start with COBL. The Ocean works well into Iris I guess. Maybe Desire rotates with Pride or IWF.

    I imagine their train of thought like this

    - Huh. Donald Trump bombed Syria.
    - Guys, we have a new song that explicitly has Aleppo in its lyrics
    - Hey, we also have a song about refugees in the sea
    - Oh! I know, let's play SBS in its shittiest arrangement AGAIN
    - High five!

    *they laugh in millionaire*
  8. Larry just wants a walk.
  9. They've always been stubborn
    If we petition them & demand they play the likes of elevation / COBL / BD then that's the best hope for seeing them dropped

    You're right. It is. But everybody wants One. Just a classic. Especially the non U2 fans, otherwise they will miss it just like BD. We already miss Streets and that's shit, I can say. It's a shame. But it wil be a great live show either.
