Add some folliage to dress it up as a Pineapple. Remember that Hawaii has yet to see one of U2 "fancy" tours in person.

[weinerdog]

the dates are special simply because they've actually been announced

 

[CTU2fan]

Varied setlists? With Pearl Jam there too there might be some motivation to at least attempt to measure up in that department.

 

[Zooropean103]

Vertigo x3

 

[topplehatU2]

People speculate possible new songs, but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Arcadion]

Something to do with Kayne im sure

 

[shika]

[Zooropean103]

Mofo featuring Kanye West

I agree, there may be some slight changes but I think pretty much what S. America and Mexico got setlist wise is what will happen on this leg. Which quite honestly I dont see as a bad thing. I liked some of those setlists (although I'm sure alot of people will disagree with me. )

Bono said the shows will be special because the person (we are assuming Edge) with the ill family member will be re energized and ready to go when this leg happens. I dont think Bono was implying anything more than that. Besides, we have never known Bono to get carried away or exaggerate with statements in the past have we??

Oh Very Rarely!

 

[Chrisedge]

Bono's voice will be much better than it was towards the end...I listen to the 3/28 boot vs. the 12/19 show and it's night and day.

 

[ntalwar]

I think the additional show(s) is already a reward. I also think that one of the beach clip songs will make a live debut after being released as a single, and that one or two unplayed songs (for this tour) will be added.

 

[ouizy]

One Tree Hill in all its glory.

 

[jammin909]

They are going to do a cover of the new Beyonce song.

One Tree Hill in all its glory.

More like we'll get a few strums on the guitar and a couple of lines after One....

Care to place a wager on that prediction??

I agree!

Or it could get the Mother's Of The Disappeared treatment and get played acoustic only. Full band One Tree Hill is not impossible obviously, but I think its VERY unlikely.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Larry gets a hair cut!

I'd take an acoustic One Tree Hill over a snippet at the end of One. That method has its charms, like during performances in the US and Australia, but you'd think coming back to NZ after 13 years would warrant the whole thing. Especially because this tour has been pointing to the slightly more obscure past a lot, eg the Boy songs.

Besides, the spot after One is reserved for Can' Help Falling In Love
