Wait. They went to Omaha, but they're not coming to KC?

Why not?

When did they drop Electrico?

CRUMBS FROM YOUR TABLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!

 

[Renrutjd]

Yep. I live in KC as well and feel just slightly shorted. I guess they're waiting for the new arena to be built...

I too am noticing the slow evolution away from the "oldies" -- to bad about that, but OOTS and Crumbs are both amazing songs.

 

[gareth brown]

Why not?

whoops, i forgot they're shaking up the setlists every night and bringing back songs like Mofo, Lemon and Wire every now and again...

What a crap setlist...

 

[Rachel D.]

I should have been at that show. That might have been my last chance to go to a U2 concert for a longer time than most of you.

Kansas City has to come to the realization that Kemper is older than dirt. With the beautiful new venues in both Omaha and Oklahoma City, every major player in the entertainment world may skip KC forever sadly. I love your city. I saw Springsteen there a couple of years ago but Kemper is old and Kansas City deserves better. Give me a reason to attend another incredible U2 concert here in Omaha then drive 3 hours down I-29 to enjoy the band all over again in another great new venue. I miss the Plaza's shopping.

While they're not playing songs like Mofo, Lemon or Wire (yet), their setlists aren't carbon copies of the night before.
