  1. I know there's probably a topic on this already but I thought I'd share my thoughts.

    We all moaned about setlists over the last two tours. But really when you think about it, you realise how great E+I and Joshua Tree tours were and it's only when they've been over for a while you begin to miss it. Especially when you watch videos online.

    I don't really expect a tour this year, really hope I'm proved wrong and fans in Australia and New Zealand finally get their time to see them again. I'm wondering if there's going to be an Achtung Baby 30th anniversary tour by the time 2021 comes around.

    I don't think we're finished with them yet, I still hold the theory they'll keep going until one of them dies - but let's not think about this yet.

    I agree with that theory, they will always make music. Personally I liked the set list of the E&I tour as it progressed. I like the album and Achtung Baby highlights thrown in were a bonus. I went to both shows in London, a friend who I took along to the second night said he thought the show was even better than The Joshua Tree 2017 one we saw at Twickenham. Each to their own however of course.

    And yes, I've been watching back videos of the past tours. U2 have spoilt us over time with such a diverse back catalogue and we have become spoilt fans as such I think.
