    think you might be kidding yourself mate
  2. Probably the best, tightest version of acrobat so far which is a major plus, need to give the rest of it a listen later on.
  3. Too bad they play the worse songs from SOE. The three other good ones they left out.
  4. 5, in fact. Showman, Summer of Love, Red Flag Day, Landlady and Book of Your Heart.
    Nothing surprising - they didn't play Reach Me Now and Sleep like a Baby from SOI with Troubles and Crystal Ballroom getting just a couple of performances.
  5. Was nearly at the rail on the e-stage, totally incredible. Acrobat was definitely the highlight for me, Edge's solo!!!! They sounded great and Bono's voice sounded fantastic almost all the time (really beautiful on Iris). longer review later but they were really locked in and listening to each other and playing tightly, especially on the e-stage. Gloria was also amazing!
  6. Sounds like they were on better form last night after what seemed like a bit of a dodgy night in St Louis, and really great to hear that they've played 'Gloria'. I hope for more occasions where they throw in the odd (semi-)rarity like that through the tour, always makes things a little more interesting for everyone, band included.

    Also really hope that they can play some more of the SoE songs over the duration of the tour and perhaps the snippetry is a hint of what's to come with that? One can hope, though it's possible they may have tried and found they just don't work so good live for whatever reason or are a bit too tricky to pull off well. The Showman would be a fun e-stage song for sure.

    I think as others have said its quite probable they'll change the America segment of the show for something more Euro orientated for Europe, and hopefully we'll get to hear either Summer Of Love and/or Red Flag Day.

    Also hope they hold firm with their decision not to play any TJT and keep them rested through this tour. As much as we all love them, they've earned a good lie down!

    still not sold. i think love is bigger a better, uplifting closer... but i'll always take that extra song.

    i missed the show... was gloria the full song?
  8. Wouldn't be surprised if they do a euro block with red flag day and summer of love instead of the current american block
  9. Get Out Of Your Own Way will you 100% be performed in Europe. Where in the set is performed is unknown though
