Yep... I remember lots of negative comments about the City, Beaut and either One or Still encore. With the new Chaplin intro this show is now the closest to a Zooropa era show for me... a bit darker, political, clear messages, etc. So EI wins for me.

Honestly tho each have their ups and downs, but I would argue many of the current one’s “ups” were already present on the innocent tour and by virtue are “downs”, so...
I think I’m ready for a U2 tour without so much emphasis on the tech of the stage and having to stick to a specific formula for the show. I’m not saying a simpler stage would yield different setlists, I just mean songs like Cedarwood or Sunday (as it is now) wouldn’t really hold up without the power of the visuals/narrative, and I wonder if that’s taking some of the U2 magic away. The opening part of the Joshua show last year was damn awesome because it was literally just U2 playing with the house lights on.
