    This has to be 100% correct. I often line up 15-20 songs and play them on drums. I structure them like a setlist. Since I’ve been on a u2 kick lately , I’ve played 4-5 different times and had little things at the end every time. There is simply no other spot for. Maybe in the future it can become a set closer but certainly not now.

    It was great during TJT. Was at the first show they ever played it and it was awesome to close with.
  3. I do agree little things sounds like it needs to be a closer of sorts but I don’t think it has to be the full show closer just the main set closer and I think there’s room for that, they could just add it in after COBL and it would work.
  4. Thematic is great but you have to play the hits, otherwise you’re audience may feel slightly disappointed. On ZooTV there was no rotation but they played all the big hits. I’m going in November and I’m hoping the encore will be totally different. Stop trying to make Love is Bigger into something it isn’t. Play All I want is you instead.

    It would be the perfect closer it's a little like moment of surrender. 13 is a bit of an anti climax
    I hoped to hear it at TJT have been to both AMS shows and thought they would play it the 2nd night
    But unfortunately
  6. I don't think 13 will shift as a closer , it fits the whole thematic show and I have always preferred melancholy endings like we had on Zoo (Love is Blindness / can't help falling in love)

    they only choose songs from 84-91 for the 1st 2 legs of zoo tv.

    Why Love Is Bigger cannot be a new live staple? We criticize the band for chickening out and drop new songs in favor of old classics, and when they stick to their guns on new material we ask for the opposite? Love is Bigger has one of the best crowd reactions among SOE songs, why should they drop it?
  9. Love is Bigger should stick around for the rest of the tour. People in Nashville were into it.
  10. Lyrics in love is bigger fit the theme, it's going nowhere . Good song
  11. Yea it’s just begging fir an even bigger song after it.
  12. Would be a good place to drop Bad in, that's my view then we can have a soft close with 13
