omitting new album songs, live

[spaceman109]

interesting that bono mentioned on mtv's 'making the video' (vertigo) that they cannot think of any 'bomb' songs they would miss off on the tour, and would probably rotate all the songs...

anyone think they *will* miss out anything?

I'm thinking either Crumbs or AMaaW, i love them both but they can get lost in the shuffle

Cant see em' leaving off anything either. All the songs will probably be rotated during the tour.

Do you think they'd play more of the new album than they did w/ Acthung Baby during Zoo TV b4 Zooropa?

*jic u don't kno, they played a maximum of 10 songs from AB*

Actually, they played eleven. In fact, you could say they played all twelve. So Cruel appeared rarely in snippets and was performed once with the whole band (1992-09-09 I think) and Acrobat was performed in part during the Hershey Rehearsals before the third leg.

U2's most performed album is Boy. Every single song from Boy and every single b-side were played live (yes, even Things To Make And Do, the only instrumental U2 have played live).

I do think that unless U2 enter into setlist rotation, songs from Hut Dab will be missed. Elevation sent a rotation precedent through such fixtures as AIWIY/Bad and Mysterious Ways+The Fly/ISHFWILF+Pride, so they probably will significantly rotate a number of old and new songs to fit everything they wish to play.

What was the max number of Acthung songs played in a single night, though?

The maximum is ten. Everything but Acrobat and So Cruel. On the night when a full and complete So Cruel was performed, WGRYWH, Ultra Violet, and Acrobat were omitted. I think at a few points, the ten usuals were played and So Cruel was snippeted, so I guess that would count as 10.5.

I honestly can't remember what was played during the Hershey rehearsals but portions of both So Cruel and Acrobat did appear.

(And LemonMacPhisto, didn't mean to come across wrong, I was just offering a simple correction.)
