When I went to my only show, Madrid 05, the people around me knew every following song, and they spoke like Bono on the One's speech. I HATED that.
I don't wanna be one of this fans. I wanna be surprised.
And I know I'll do it.
If necessary, I'll cut off my intenet connection... Or not

the main issue is that changing your setlists ONLY benefits hardcore fans who plan on seeing more than one show at a time.

as a result, U2's live career is very neatly time-capsuled. Vertigo, Elevation, PopMart, ZooTV, JT, UF, War, are ALL different versions of U2, different experiences. even individual songs -- Streets in 1997 is techno whereas Streets in 2005 has a tribal beat (think about that, the same song sounds different!) that is why we can tolerate downloading lots of bootlegs and even listening back-to-back-to-back (ZooTV dublin - lovetown dublin - elevation slane, for instance) and never get tired. each tour is a U2 we have never seen before and a U2 we will never see again.
