  1. I remember lots of people hated the IE encore at the time. The Bad/40 closes saved it I think
  2. Yep... I remember lots of negative comments about the City, Beaut and either One or Still encore. With the new Chaplin intro this show is now the closest to a Zooropa era show for me... a bit darker, political, clear messages, etc. So EI wins for me.

    Yeah. I feel if they add in the rehearsed stuff it will lift the show big time. Or have the big song near the end. Bad all i want is your etc.
  4. Anyone know if the wild horses rehearsals have had the Apollo outro?

    Honestly tho each have their ups and downs, but I would argue many of the current one’s “ups” were already present on the innocent tour and by virtue are “downs”, so...

    I think I’m ready for a U2 tour without so much emphasis on the tech of the stage and having to stick to a specific formula for the show. I’m not saying a simpler stage would yield different setlists, I just mean songs like Cedarwood or Sunday (as it is now) wouldn’t really hold up without the power of the visuals/narrative, and I wonder if that’s taking some of the U2 magic away. The opening part of the Joshua show last year was damn awesome because it was literally just U2 playing with the house lights on.


    I agree..music over tech any day for me..like back in the day ( and no phones either )

  8. Just Larry with house lights on, fading intro music, then BAM- SBS. The first part was amazing, just all four of them playing on the tree
  9. Even the JT30 opening section as mentioned was the same songs pretty much most nights, we have to realise we are seeing shows not gigs, if you went to see Les Mis on West End / Broadway and they done a different set of songs there would be hell to play.

    The ticket prices on EI kind of ensures one show for most casual observers and that determines less deviation from the script. The internet sort of ruins things as well, I remember reading magazine articles on the JT 87 / Zoo Tv tour just to get a hint of what songs were being performed, now it is all over the place within minutes.
  12. Struggling to see the rationale to leave these changes to so late into the tour.

    Leads me to believe that we might get maybe 1 or 2 more songs into rotation list at most with this timing.
