They should only play WOWY if Edge brings back the solo...maybe some "We'll shine's" too?

Agreed
or Last Night on Earth, or Ultraviolet, or Mofo, or Lemon (weren't there rumors it was being rehearsed? whatever happened to that?), or Discotheque, or Gone, or ACROBAT, or Love is Blindness (yes. before the end of the show. it will confuse people because LIB is the ultimate closer, but instead to close they will get VERTIGO oh boy!), or Even Better Than The Real Thing, or Until the End of the World (that's gotten played some, hasn't it? but it's not a staple is it?), or Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car, or, or...yeah.
While we're at it, let's drop Bullet for Please and Pride for...uh...something that isn't Pride.

F*** Mysterious Ways! Never cared for it. WOWY is arguably a show highlight. There are 3 times during the show when the audience literally lifts the roof of a building (if it has a roof), the intro of Sunday bloody sunday, the intro of Where the streets and the crescendo of WOWY.

I vaguely recall it being, "it's about our fans, plain and simple..." I'll try to find the exact quote.

Heh. I could see that.
"Those fans ... we love them, because they've given us a great life ... but then we turn around, and they're bitching and moaning about everything we do on the internet! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em."

At one of the concerts, Bono dedicated WOWY to the fans who were born ten months after the song came out. I don't know why....

Notre Dame. Bono's math is fucked up though. He said the "ten months" thing thinking that Notre Dame had students conceived/born after WOWY came out.
However, that concert was in October 2001 and WOWY was released in, I believe, April 1987. There's no way Notre Dame had a 13/14 year old student at that time...

No....Mysterious Ways is so great live, WOWY is just so-so. MW is the one song I'm most looking forward to aside from Bad (although I realise I could get neither )
)
i love wowy during this tour, the manc 1 version gives me goosebumps all over, hearing bono singing that church rhythm at the beggning, and then transmisison and love will tear us apart, amazing stuffVertigoGal said:No....Mysterious Ways is so great live, WOWY is just so-so.

we were there..I really think WOWY this tour is better than the previous two.popmart was a joke(that was a karoake version of a coverband). It really sounds good these days again thank goodness.

yeah, I've got an mp3 of WOWY from this tour, I think it actually sounds really good, still I'd prefer Mysterious Ways for sure.

MW doesnt hold a flame to the raw emotional power of WOWY. Just listen to WOWY from Milan2. The crowd takes the outro to a whole new place. It must have been a surreal environment. I rest my case...

To be honest, I don't think any of them should be played on this tour. They are way too overplayed. If a great and underplayed song like WGRYWH can't even make it to the DVD and to the majority of the shows, why should these overridden songs?

Because those are the songs ppl (not ultra-fanatical fans like you and I) want to hear...
Exactly.. But as both songs are popular with the non-ultra-fanatical-fans, WOWY fits better...MTEdge said:
By the way; I'm happy that someone acknowleges that there are also non-ultra-fanatical-fans who visit U2 hows... And that in 80.000 capacity stadium's there are even móre of them...

Btw. WGRYWH was a single from AB so it was not exactly kept hidden, and how should they ever get to know it if U2 won't play it?
