1. just interested in what you all think the most over and underplayed u2 song is.
    my thoughts are

    most overplayed: NYD/IWF but great songs

    most underplayed: kite, Original Of The Species.
  2. overplayed: i think that 7/8 songs from SOI are to many, they have to save room for past albums, for example 2/3 songs from NLOTH.

    underplayed: Kite, Original of the Species, Winter, The Fly, Fast Cars,, Stand up comedy, Mercy, Red Mining Hill,Unforgettable Fire, New Year's day.

    What i suggest is obviously written for the present tour.
    I think they could play all the last album but 4/5 song are enough if you play them in rotation.

    All the best to everybody
  3. Most overplayed: City of Blinding Lights
    Most underplayed: One Tree Hill
  4. Most overplayed: Beautiful Day, COBL, Stuck, Mysterious Ways. If you asked me this about two months ago Pride would have been in this list, but it sounds great this tour.

    Most underplayed: Kite, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Love Is Blindness everything from POP, A Sort Of Homecoming, Hawkmoon 269

    have the changed the tempo of pride since 360?
  6. Overplayed: Still haven't found..
    Underplayed: Acrobat
  7. OK...well for me COBL and OTH are also over/underplayed in general!
    For the rest I think Boy/October/War songs are way too underplayed:
    11 O'Clock Tick Tock
    Another Time, Another Place
    Twilight
    An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart
    A Day Without Me/I Threw A Brick Through A Window
    A Celebration
    Surrender
    Two Hearts Beat As One

    New Year's Day is underplayed in this tour (so far), but in general it is well represented.

    Overplayed too are, in my opinion: EBTTRT, Mysterious Ways, ISTHFWLF

    Last but not least, I'm still not tired of I Will Follow, Pride, Streets, WOWY & Beautiful Day
  8. I Will Follow is the overplayed song according to U2gigs.
  9. i think everybody knows that in the history of the band and in all tours they never changed radically the setlits. They played max 3 or 4 different songs in 10/20 concerts or in the entire tours.

    This would probably be my list as well, except I can never get enough of COBL...

    And One Tree Hill and Surrender are definitely the underplayed candidates for me. Still holding out hope that Ultraviolet will make a comeback this tour... and of course, Acrobat.


  11. And so it proves once more that everyone has their war-horse favorites...

    (For me EVERY concert with I Will Follow & Streets is a GOOD concert )
