    Europe and America have reached a fantastic compromise. Europe would much prefer the slower tempo finale and Miss Sarajevo as a blueprint, while us Yanks would rather end on a high note with an Ultraviolet right into COBL jolt in the arm...

    We'll call it the Wide Awake Accord. Please think about it.
    I've already spoke to Larry and we've agreed they will play Zoo station, The Fly and Acrobat in place of Beautiful Day, Elevation and Miss Sarajevo when they reach the European leg, your stuck with Miss Sarajevo in the U.S. I'm afraid.

    You put way too much faith in Larry. Edge will never stand for Acrobat.

    I think he said Acrobat, Mofo and Please
  4. I've already got confirmation from Edge too he says it's 'gonna be amazing'.
  5. And the fact that they are playing a Passengers song every night proves that Larry has ultimate say in setlist!
  7. Yeah... and Bono said that Edge was on fire during rehearsing it...

    If we could make signatures for our posts here, this would be mine. Superb.
  11. For those at the show on Sunday, Did anyone hear Bono say before Little Things, that "This is the last song on the album"? Not a bad last song on an album if I heard that correctly!

    With 360 if you made it really close to the stage you couldn't really see the screen without neck pain.. With this massive screen it's more Stadium friendly for all spots


    The 360 Tour was all about The Claw. This serves as both a massive strength and perhaps a weakness because the stage was such a spectacle that an argument could be made that it took away from some of the performances.

    I enjoyed this stage because it had a particular purpose in mind, and that purpose was NOT to immerse themselves with the fans in the traditional sense. The purpose of this tour is The Joshua Tree and the stage and media used is all to that end. It's valid for people to say U2 as 4 guys felt distant from the crowd in this tour because I honestly think that was their intent. They wanted the music and the message of The Joshua Tree to be the primary focus of the show. Hence why the video screens were dominated by highly political messages. Sorry if people get offended when U2 decides to bring politics to the show, but that's The Joshua Tree for you.
