The Berlin Wall is sort of a confusing piece of imagery.

The energy of Streets is wasted being sandwiched between two speeches and followed by Still. Streets might not do well as a closer, but it would do great to open the encore. Drop the Mother and Child Reunion, put up a big red screen and kick off the encore with some energy! Not to say that COBL doesn't have energy, but it's lethargic compared to Streets.

Maybe make the intermission longer so they can handle it (a real intermission would probably break the story...)
Or heck, even add a break where Bono chats with the audience like a few nights before. Band can rest, Bono wouldn't mind and they can add 5 more songs.

The story is really only from Iris to UTEOTW so a proper intermission wouldn't hurt

Can I say one thing ?
There's a difference between the variation between songs as the concept is right now (same show, some changes) and 2 totally new different shows, as hinted (see that I didn't say promised this time huh).
SO : I was hoping for 2 completely different shows, which would stay roughly the same on its own. So like unpair nights are always the same and pair nights are always the same.
BUT, they've abandoned the concept of 2 different shows, SO therefore I'd like some variation within it in return. You know, like you can tell the same story in different ways, right ?
Like you can take us back to youth and straightforward rock, but it doesn't always have to be Vertigo or I Will Follow. Throw in some other Boy-songs.
They can take us to Experience with The Fly, Discotheque, Mofo...
They can end the show with other singalongs.
Now, before people are letting their tits go again, like I said before, I do like the show and yes I get it's about pleasing the majority, so it's pretty irresistable to play eg Mysterious Ways when the crowds keep roaring, but this is my idea to turning it up another notch. From 8,5/10 to 9,5/10. (I don't give 10's)
