    The poster is referencing playing non singles from a previous album on a new tour. Desire and Angel etc were played on Lovetown as they featured on R&H. Exit was not a single from the Joshua Tree but was still played in 1989.

    Iris and RBW weren't singles from SOI but are still being played today. Usually it's just the singles from an album that get carried forward.


    They played Running To Stand Still on Zoo TV (if we don't consider R&H as a "regular" album, and I don't), which wasn't a single. Nothing from Zooropa was played on Popmart, but on the Elevation Tour they played Gone, which wasn't a single. They also played a non-singles In A Little While and Kite a few times during the Vertigo Tour. It was the 360 tour when it really broke - not a single song from HTDAAB for the whole tour except for two singles. And, of course, only one performance of Magnificent (a single) during the whole I+E.

    And Wake up dead man too on Elevation tour
  3. Since RFD is going to be played, that means Horses is dead,
  4. Hold on, they might just horsed around. On reddit, i would get gold!
  5. I have a question for you:
    What would you prefer:
    A setlist with 4 or 5 rotational slots with the usual songs that U2 could prepare with a few days of rehearsals, like NYD, Angel of Harlem, Showman for Best Thing, Gloria, maybe OOC, you can throw in some JT classics (Bullet, WOWY, but not Streets, not going to happen )
    OR
    A static setlist with only 1 rotational slot, but anything can happen there. I'm talking real rarities like Please, Kite, A Day Without Me, Drowning Man, etc. Variations beyond our wildest dreams that will keep everyone guessing what they will play in that slot.

    Nice question! I think it depends on how many shows I’m seeing. If I’m seeing one show, I’d go with option 2. If I was seeing multiple shows, I’d probably go with option one for more overall variety in the set list.

    The latter without a doubt.
