Boston IV?

I think you mean Boston I. Boston IV isn't until December!

 

[Popmartijn]

Well, if you start counting from the first leg on, then this is Boston IV (after the three shows in May). The final Boston show in December would then be Boston VII.

Yes, but the counting is done per leg, not per tour, at least in U2's mind. Note the fact they treat their first show of a leg in a city they already played on an earlier leg as their "night one" in the city, not as "night x" continuing on from the show/s played previously. (I have to wonder if in December, Boston's third and fourth shows will be taken as "night one/two" again simply due to the two month gap.)

All in all, I think this is kind of sad, especially because when the gap between shows is large (i.e. over half a year), you're probably more likely to get returning casual fans, increasing the amount of people who've already heard the standard setlist.

MLK, that's cool!!!!!!! What and how did he sing it?????

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

A Sgt. Pepper snip was in there as well. He did the first verse of MLK alone.
