Originally posted by Blue_Room:I'm going to be in the minority on this. I like the songs they have added. But I sort of like the narrative theme they had before the changes. The only change that should have been made was taking out SBS just because the version did not work. Then interchange UTEOTW with Wild Horses on multiple nights. I thought opening with LIAWHL was cool and wish they had kept that.

The "setlist" is better from a song perspective but it throws the narrative theming off a tad to me. I guess both are cool but I liked the vibe the first leg had. I know I'm the minority on that, but I guess the original narrative theming idea was very cool and spoke to me! LOL

This is just another chapter in the narrative in my opinion. This is also why Bono tells such long stories before Zoo Station and Stay. They replaced the chapter of the story which tells about their younger years with the chapter that tells about a defining point in their career. They almost split up and yet they came back together again. This is what these Achtung Baby/Zooropa songs tell.

I even believe that it's part of the narrative that Bono goes alone to the screen during Zoo Station and at the intro of Stay, to show that he was indeed all alone. The band were miles apart. Then, Adam, Larry and Edge join one by one to illustrate them getting back together. The chapter ends with the four of them being as close as possible to each other performing at the top of their game, while the screen closes. A story with a good ending!

Didn’t sound like he did, but the song needs it.
