Originally posted by Release3:In regards to Little Things not being played live, I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that bono said it’s a very hard song for him to sing and that’s why they don’t play it.
Originally posted by Release3:A little off topic, but we can all agree the encore for the first dozen or so JT17 shows were some of the most boring of all time?
JT32 encore was muuuuch better.
Originally posted by Release3:Couldn’t agree more. That’s why I feel the next album/tour should not be story based. Having themes like the Zoo Tv / Spiritual encore during Vertigo is fine, but they handcuffed themselves so badly during JT17 and EI. For EI, by the time they got an awesome set list figured out for EI, the tour was already 3/4 over.
Just Look at the variation and set lists during Elevation, Vertigo, and 360.

Originally posted by hoserama:I don't think anybody will disagree with that. The Miss Syria and Little Things was a snoozer. I remember hearing it 2 weeks before opening night in rehearsals and thinking they've gotta change this.
Fell into the mistake they've done multiple times...fall in love with the "story" and set pieces and ignore the music and momentum of a show.
