That's from "Boy" actually. Just like "Electric Co", "I Will Follow" and "Out of Control" are.

Sorry to see An Cat Dubh go, (I hope it's temporary), but nice to see "October" (the "God album") finally get represented! I can't decidw which I'd like to hear better, but as long as "Electric Co", stays in, it's great!
 
GLORIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Now they just have to cut Elevation and Pride and insert Until The End Of The World and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Elevation opened the last tour and is too recent. IMO Zoo Station works this time since enough time has gone by. Everyone is tired of Pride, even if they've never seen it live.
 
Cry is not on "Boy". Actually, Cry is just the opening riff from "Is that all?", which is on "October". Not sure about the lyrics though, but its the same opening for Electric co as the one on Under a blood red sky.
 
With or without you is good if bono gives it his all. Recently he talks his way through it. Spoils it for me. Play the Classics to the max otherwise dont bother. Just stick to the new songs that are fresh to play

Bono basically sleepwalks through two songs these days -- With Or Without You, and most of Streets (except for his leading speeches).

The rest of the band is spot-on, with these, but not Bono.
 
This is starting too much like the Pop Tour with the band's decision to carve out "Bad". If this is a permanent decision for the tour then the tour is already running on one less cylinder.

Not playing "Bad" tragic.

Yeah, they used to play it before "Electric Co" live all the time, even before the riff ended up in "Is That All?"
 
U2: Please substitute "With Or Without You" with "A Man And A Woman"

Thanks,
JD
