  1. that is 26 songs (incl LIAWHL)
  4. Yikes. Some baffling choices.

    YTBTAM - the acoustic version is dire, really quite fond of the album version these days.

    HMTMKMKM - one of the best tracks in the setlist reduced to an intermission remix.

    SATS - a token 'Pop' inclusion, the least 'Pop' song on the album. Again a boring Acoustic version.
  5. Edge used to play Sats acoustic with some serious mojo juice.

    I’m probably edging towards agreement about all 3 things but not to the same extent. Album best thing vs acoustic best thing doesn’t matter much to me but i’am more accustomed to the album version now I guess. HMTMKMKM is a great song and definitely better than some songs in the Setlist but I’ve seen it live before and it’s not going to have a negative impact on my show not being performed. SATS I really like the acoustic version but prefer the electric album version. However the one version they have done of SATS electric wasn’t great and that’s even if we discount ‘take 1’.

  8. they know what it sounds like live.. probably not as good as it does on the album.. maybe it needs a bit of time/work... I'm sure they know it kicks ass on the album.

    Its there best work sonically speaking on the album without a doubt. Maybe it will make a debut in Europe.
  10. I'm not happy at all with the setlist...
  11. I hope eventually they play the other SOE tracks that are not on here. My only other gripes:

    - Play another old rarity instead of I Will Follow. I know it's part of the "Innocence Suite" as Willie Williams called it, but still...
    - Switch Elevation to Intermission PA and play Hold Me, Thrill Me full band live instead. That would be badass to start the second half of the show.
    - Put Vertigo near the beginning like on I & E and substitute with The Fly or Gone or something more 90's "experience" themed.

    Otherwise, as others have said, this could be a lot worse! Haha. I'm getting more excited for it now. Happy that they're still capable of writing and performing new material and making it all part of an experience (pun intended).
