  1. Originally posted by WideAwakeBadBoy:I like the first half but the concert is saturated with SOE - this is the experience and innocence tour, yet innocence gets 2 songs compared to experience's 8 - either stop playing BD and Elevation and replace them with different songs we haven't heard every show since their release, or better still - add them as extras!!
    I think it’s a pity that both albums weren’t released together and they just did one I&E tour. That would have been a better tour if they had played 7-8 songs from both albums each night.
  2. Originally posted by deanallison:Perhaps on this tour they’ve just challenged too many people. Challenged the casuals who want to hear Streets and WOWY (probably challenged some die hards with that too) plus challenged the die hards with still playing the likes of elevation and vertigo whilst neglecting a lot of there material which hasn’t appeared often enough. Some of us take it better than others, I guess all reactions are understandable, those criticising the band and those defending them. I can see both sides but I generally try and take a positive outlook on things and know I’ll enjoy seeing them.
    but not challenging themselves.. rising ticket prices, less song rotation than IE, playing a block of songs from IE and cutting the setlist...yeah narrative, but...if I could have seen them this tour I would have, but I'm still going to criticize
  3. Believe me, I wish this was even similiar to the 2015 I & E Tour, where there was two rotational spots. Did they mostly rotate just a couple of songs... yeah but there was room for a suprise now and then (i.e. Zoo Station, WLCTT, Calif., Magnificent, In God's Country, All I Want Is You.... etc). So far on the European leg there hasn't been any rotations.... only difference is Berlin 2 only got 5 songs!!
  4. Another thing to take into consideration when we talk about the lack of rotation. Once I’ve attended the 2 London shows this year, even if they don’t rotate and play the same set as they did tonight in the last 3 years (since I&E Glasgow) I will have attended 5 shows and seen 52 different songs, that’s not bad going for such a short space of time and only 5 shows.
  5. Anybetlist changss?
  6. in my dreams i was drowning my sorrows
  7. i knew when Bono sang Summer of Love tonight that HE WAS BACK TO HIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE! ALL IS WELL!
  8. Bono was back to his most beautiful voice yesterday!

  9. Despite the same boring setlist I had a pretty decent concert experience. Band was on fire, Bono's voice was really well, and I've managed to take some decent pics, even from the nosebleeds seats I had. Next stop Paris
