The Fly
I'm just taking a look back 10 years or so and the opening number for one tour has not been played in following tours. I started thinking about this when I saw people talking about potential setlists and mentioning Elevation. You look back to ZOOTV - Zoo Station was played to kick off the show (which was ridicuously good show starter), but wasn't played @ Popmart.
And for Popmart, Mofo kicked off the show (not including lead-ins) but was not played at all in Elevation or atleast that I remember. If it was, it was used sparingly.
I expect this trend to continue. Elevation is too good of an opener that i don't see it being played in the middle of a show....too many other good songs fill those slots. And it obviously won't be used to start this tour as U2 like to spice things up.
So, those are just my thoughts on Elevation and the upcoming tour.
