Th first chords of Zoo are incredible, but IMO, the crowd settles down after that and the song doesn't work in the setlist; even though I do love the album version-and it might be the best opener ever.
Before I saw it, I was really excited to see that it was in the setlist, but when I saw LA1 and 2, I realized that IMO it doesn't really work, and it is on my short list to be taken out of the setlist.

Mysterious Ways was awesome at SJ2. If Zoo wasn't gelling, they made the right choice by replacing it with MW, which brought the house down.

Although it was great to see Zoo Station back in the set, I have to admit it wasn't sounding that good. I'm not sure if they are re-written lyrics or whether Bono has forgotten the originals and is singing some improv. But it really doesn't sound right to me. Mysterious Ways on the other hand sounds absolutely superb.

well, i am a huge AB fan, so i am going to miss Zoo Station! and i really loved the improvised lyrics... however, i'm thinking that OOTS is not going to get played every night, so it'll probably be back.

Well, I hope it makes on Chicago show. But after reading these posts, I understand why it may be left out.

Damn the crowd that made them change their minds.
Ok, a bit over the top, but still, it's a huge loss if they continue like this.

It was one show! I'm sure they will alternate in and out of the setlist much like what they're doing with An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart. But if it has to go, I hope it's replaced with Until the End of the World.

They even have Original of the Species after Mysterious Ways, when it is said to have been after One. U2.com can't even seem to get their own bands' setlist correct.
Honestly, after seeing Anaheim2, the one song I thought they should take out was Zoo Station - it just doesn't sound that great, and it kind of lost the crowd. I am thrilled they dropped it, and keeping my fingers crossed that I get to see Species in Phoenix this Fri!

I have a feeling it will be back for those who are hoping to see it.

This was the setlist that was supposed to be played. The roadie that follows Bono around by the stage (I can't remember his name) had a setlist and he left a lot of it visible. This was the setlist that was supposed to be played, but they switched it up. Not sure why, but they definitely changed it. I don't know why they dropped Zoo Station. I was so expecting Edge to rip that slide and instead heard The Fly. I was sad not to hear Zoo Station, but that amazing version of The Fly made up for it.
Did anyone else notice that the crowd was dead during The Fly?

I think its both-IMO opinion it is the best version of the Fly I have ever heard. The crowd isn't dead, but it is far from let's say the reaction to UTEOTW of the past.

the crowd was just stiff last night...too many yuppie's who are used to sitting at a computer desk all day...the band rocked, don't get me wrong...it's just that silicon valley will never be a place i go to see a show again

That intro to The Fly should be enough to get ANY crowd going.
I loved the version of The Fly from the last tour but the latest version just absolutely rocks from listening to the recordings. Actually being there it must be 100% more amazing.
I for one am hoping it stays in the set for when they get out here to Oz next year.
