    I wonder why he does that?

    One that irked me in years gone by was in Mysterious Ways where he now sings "She's slippery" - I always preferred "She's slippy". I think technically "slippery" is right, but slippy just feels right lol
  2. I wouldn't mind California or magnificent in that slot or maybe a full band version of EBW don't think that will happen though.

    Yup, that would be nice...
    Don't see it happening either, unfortunately...
  4. So nobody here thinks that they should start with Boy or October track(s). Going into War and UF tracks. Then play the full JT album. And finish with a selection of tracks from albums after the JT album?
  5. Call me old fashioned but I wish the crowd would jump around a bit more to songs like New Years day and BD..difficult when everyone seems to have a phone in their hands.

    You're not alone, take a look to previous posts and other threads and you'll see that's a pretty common opinion

    I'm definitely not against the idea, my suggestions were more trying to stay along the lines of what they've been doing but yeah, I will follow, out Of Control, Gloria, October would all be very welcome in the setlist from me. I'd love the likes of an cat Dubh/ into the heart, and twilight as well but I think the first 4 I mentioned are more likely, especially I will follow since it's already made an appearance.
  9. Good to hear I am not alone on this.

    And, Like a song, that would be a brilliant song to play...

    I like that they finish with little things.
    So I hope they finish with that track. I will follow can make an appearence in the start.
  11. And, in my humble opinion. A Joshua Tree tour should reflect the time it was brought out. And the tracks played should do the same...
