    We’re talking hypothetically now. Ifs and buts, the reality is the band played the same city two nights in a row and if you went to night 2 all you got was a song less which makes no sense to give people less for there money. There was no different songs brought in to counter that so we can’t even look at it from a song quality point of view.
  2. seriously?
    Same songs, but just dropping 5 songs one night and 6 songs another, would be better than they playing all 25 songs on both nights?
    well, I can see why we wouldn't agree...

    It's not designed for the rich super fans it's designed for the 95% who only see it once, back in the 80s and early 90s before the internet most ppl didn't have a clue what songs they were gonna play or in what order yeah they knew Bad,Pride,Streets and Sunday bloody Sunday would be played but most of the setlist was a surprise and the band mainly kept to the same songs most nights but nobody cared if it was the same gig as London, New York, or Dublin.

    26 songs is not hypothetical.

  5. I also prefer Lovetown, although I haven't experienced both tours (yet).

    So if it’s meant for the 95% who only see them once why not play the same amount of songs instead of giving night 2 a song less?

    Because they don't know or care what they did play the night before or the night after. They just enjoy the show.

    Also, some of us look at it as if they gave 1 bonus song on one night, not 1 song less on the other. It's not like they had played 25 songs one night and just 19 on the other.
  8. I don't understand.. u2 played 51 songs in 2 shows in Las Vegas, 26 unique titles. Yes they can do better, but it's not indefenisble as you said before.
  9. I’ll look At this as a glass half full guy. When PJ tours I spend tons of money on any show in the US because I know every show will be completely different. If u2 did this , I’d be flat broke. So thank you u2. I’m sure the one show I see will be great , but no thanks to any more than that.

    This is irrelevant. They should get with the times then. Shake it up a bit! Give audiences a reason to come out. When’s the last time they were curtaining off entire sections? The public can preview what they’re gonna get before hand now. And obviously some weren’t too inclined to go see this show.
