Originally posted by dylbagz:You guys realise they're only boring for you having seen them all so many times and at multiple shows per tour? The venue is always going to be 90% casuals, and the band plays to them rather than the 10% who might have seen pride more than a couple times before

Agreed. Pride is an important song and there are not many bands which have a song this meaningful and that embodies everything about u2- the sound/ the message/ the live performance. I changed my mind on Pride during the JT tour.
But all the post 2000 staples are all a bit meh.

Tell me something I don't know : though I would say probably 20% of the audience do more than 1 show on any one specific tour and probably at least half of any crowd have seen the before. I know I do multiple shows per tour and not everyone does, but I didn't miss "Bullet" on 360 at all ; and neither did lots of people.

Bullet was one of the highlights of the JT tour and especially on the I&E tour, on the Vertigo tour it was incredible so I don't get what your going on about ,Its an important song to U2 and is more relevant now than ever, would anyone care if they dropped COBL, Elevation etc I certainly wouldn't also The Fly needs to played again how amazing would it be using that big TV screen it was always a show highlight and it saved U2 from becoming a heritage act in the 90s when so many 80s bands were kicked to the kerb and lost their fanbase as they didn't move with the times.

I would prefer COBL over Bullet every day of the week. Would love to see the Fly back though.
