PS. Full "official" Zooropa? I don't think so. This is the only one I remember: http://www.u2.com/media/player/738/77 which is something like 1m30s long

ASOH is the only song so far that has excited me about seeing other than seeing Exit again.

However, I will say that attending the concerts was an entirely different experience altogether. The video screen adds a massive component that cannot be accurately depicted in a recording or even a video. From a performance standpoint, pretty much every song was on point with a few exceptions where I didn't understand the concept behind the performances.
Personally, I was never expecting any new material to come out on this tour aside from the Joshua Tree material that we haven't seen for years and years. The fact we have ASOH and Little Things is a bonus in my eyes. I don't think we should be concerned about setlist variation and set length in the context of future tours. I think they deliberately chose this set length to make the Joshua Tree portion the primary focus of the show. I think questions of Bono's health or endurance should be shelved for the time being. If Bono is struggling to last through longer sets, he didn't show any signs of that this weekend.
Finally, I initially wasn't sold on Little Things as a closer. I am now. Sunday's performance was absolutely fantastic. I hope this becomes a regular set closer, but I feel we will never see it on the first night of 2 night stays.

There's gotta be a good way to ensure they are aware of this, no?
