Originally posted by miryclay:I guess it depends on how the new ones plays live. My point is also that COBL is a very definitive song of the Vertigo/360 tours and to a lesser extent IE and EI tours.

If they were to drop all of the regulars and that included COBL that would be fine, dependant on what they brought in obviously. I’d like them to revisit some songs from Boy on the next tour that haven’t been played as much. Twilight, An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart, A Day Without Me. I think they could do a great job of these songs. 11 O’clock tick tock as well, and not as one off or rotationals but played every night. Bring back TUF as well, as I mentioned in my last post Gone. From JT WOWY and Streets. Mysterious Ways will be due an appearance as well, keep zoo station and the fly in there as well and Stay, Zooropa. For the modern era give us stuck, walk on, original of the species, every breaking wave and love is bigger. And then play 7 or 8 new songs. There’s your setlist. If they aren’t closing with a new song play 40 every night as well. They could always throw Bad, UTEOTW or All I Want Is You in as a rotational. These are all songs they’ve nailed live in the past and there isn’t really anything standing in the way of them doing a good job of them again.

Agreed, although it's much more urgent to retire Beautiful Day. It's been played at every single tour gig since October 2000 including promo shows and off-tour appearances, it's surreal. COBL is dull and boring by now, I'll give you that, but I just can't stand Beautiful Day anymore.
