I rest my case...

 

[U2Man]

Too few, too traditional, NO surprises, nothing new, very short list, just plain boring.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh goody, more bitching.

 

[piomike]

You can never have enough of Achtung Baby!

 

[popacrobat]

and whats wrong with that setlist exactly?

 

[pepokiss]

just too much auto-hype...


I WANT CRUMBS!!!

WHERE's WILD HORSES???

 

[play it cool]

OK, there were no surprises, but then I wasn't really expecting any 1st show. This will change and I'm sure it was a great show tonight, can't wait.

 

[Nisse]

This isn't Zoo TV.. and it's not even rare AB songs like Wild Horses and Ultra Violet.

Btw you forgot ABOY before Yahweh and Vertigo after.

 

[menelaos]

Vertigo twice is unnessecery IMO...

 

[popacrobat]

why would they play wild horses again?

it was played once on the first leg

that hardly makes it a staple of the tour

 

[Zooropean103]

Where's Zooropa and Pop songs that Adam talked about? But otherwise, hey, it's great setlist!...

 

[ewings]

I see nothing wrong with the set list.....don't know what you are griping about. I'd be happy to hear them sing all those songs -- again!

 

[zwervers2]

OK, there were no surprises, but then I wasn't really expecting any 1st show. This will change and I'm sure it was a great show tonight, can't wait.

you can't denie that it is at leat questionable that they skip one boysong or Gloria I mean come one you skip 40 AND a boy song..
a very mediocre set in comparrison to all the other sets (anaheim april 1st was worse)...Again it is BS to play a mediocre song twice (not a single, not a classic) they have tons of material people are dying to hear and they play unos dos etc...just end with out of control and I will follow(or something)...

the reason I'm dissapointed is that the band sais they would mix up the set...to say they haven't delivered is an understatement..
Don't get me wrong their are the top but they choose poorly setlistwise...it's not like they are 18 and have 10 songs and a cover

 

[U2Man]

It's a crappy setlist. It's so boring, I've even started a thread about it. Let's flame the Brussel show big time We know they can do better, and we deserve better

why would they play vertigo..it was played 2 hours before

exactely..

 

[U2Man]

Sorry about that then, it was taken from u2-vertigo-tour. It's still one big disappointing crap-opening-show, though.

maybe they got confused whe they started to play Vertigo again...why the hell would they play this song twice..
It's a very poor set indeed

 

[FlyYourKite]

Oh goody, more bitching.

Exactly.

 

[ludilobrate]

I don*t know what is going on?why some people always complaint?Setlist is excellent,and the best thing -there are 5 songs from AB and Vertigo at the end-again! PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS WAS A ROCK and ROLL SHOW!

 

[U2Man]

This setlist sucks. I couldn't help laughing when I read the title of this thread, though.

Well, I wasn't there. Can't judge the performance. It's the setlist we are complaining about. Why are they promoting AB? I thought HTDAAB was the new album. Where's Crumbs? Haven't they had around about 14 days to rehearse it? Why not just ONE single song that they haven't played endlessly before on this tour?

They played more songs from HTDAAB than AB. Most people who go to the shows only get to go to one show.

vertigo at the end would be very nice if it wasn't played just 2 hours before I mean come on they have 360 songs to chose from

Have you been to a show were Vertigo was played twice? It was really exciting and the audience erupted during Seattle 2. How can you judge it if you haven't been there?

 

[yimou]

Can somebody please tell me why they play Vertigo twice ?? I know its not the first time but i have never figured out why they waste precious concert time and play the same crap twice.

 

[bort269]

anyone think that they did a classic setlist for all the European press?
Almost everyone is going to be at the FIRST show of the tour, so once the reviews are all good they can fuck around with the setlist and whip out Electrical Storm and Crumbs.

But for the 1st show they played it safe so as to not have a Staring At The Sun incident like in Vegas for Popmart.

Think about it, usually the 1st night in a city is the classic setlist (that's usually the show that gets reviewed by most of the press, few papers review the next shows in the same city) and then they mix it up.

Chicago is a perfect example of that biting them in the ass though, since the Chicago papers lit them up for the 1st night's performance, and then didn't review the other shows.
I'll blame the shitty 1st night on the DVD though...

Just be patient... if that's possible for U2 fans!
