  1. If these 3 songs are played, I'll be happy. Can't complain about setlists too much if these stay. However, if they get dropped .... that'll be bad

    Encouraging, indeed!

    Since Acrobat was not part of the full run-through from previous days, any guess as to where it will pop up in the set? Unless I'm reading the rehearsal list wrong?

    From what we’ve been told yesterday acrobat will be in the 2nd half of the show but it has been tried before the intermission as well and I’m not sure if I’ve read it right but I’m thinking bono will be performing the song as macphisto which makes sense given some of the lyrics and the darker nature of the song, a bit like how he had to put on a character to do Exit.
  3. Just give me Wild Horses and Acrobat and I will have a grand old time.
  4. Acrobat as macphisto would be cool
    "Dont let the bastards grind you down"
  5. It would need to be macphisto singing that wouldn’t it? You just can’t picture modern day bono singing that or ‘you can swallow or you can spit’ without being behind a mask of sorts.

    The latest Willie Williams interview actually made me thing we will not see Summer of Love, RFD or any other SOE song not played at opening night in this tour. At best, we may see a 1-time performance like Volcano, Lucifer Hands, etc. They chose their narrative and they're sticking to that. Any other new SOE song will disrupt this "narrative".
    I'm still calling this B.S.

    huge huge bs... if there's a really narrative that connects the two albums, play the two albums in the a order that one song connects to another... thats a narrative to me...
  7. if only more pop *sigh*
  8. Do they really need to rehearse One ??!!
  9. My instinct is still telling me Acrobat will be a regular.
  10. Those tour stats are interesting. I was at three of the last played gigs. Buffalo Vertigo and Moncton 360 (x2). For The Ocean, The Fly and HM,TM,KM,KM.
