Love that they do Zoo Station in Hamburg rather than, you know, Berlin. Can't wait for New York in Chicago.
And Miami in Dallas.

The studio version of Bad is better
Yeah. Agreed. And it would be dumb to have a live song in the middle of an album of studio songs.
if only someone had told that to the band before rattle & hum was made.

The Fly soundchecked in Hamburg. Which could mean two of my favourite songs might appear in the same set for the first time ever (Acrobat being the 2nd one).

Maybe their going to play Achtung in full once because they know Bono will be comatose by January
Was just thinking last night, I reckon with all these sudden additions/cuts, Acrobat is going to get the chop any day now. Can't keep people too happy.
I just listened to The Best Of 1980-1990 for the first time in ages. It was my real introduction to U2. I was 14 when it came out. I think it’s really close to a perfect collections of songs.
I think the only changes I would make are adding Gloria and Out Of Control, having October as a standard track, removing The Sweetest Thing (if they wanted to redo a song it should have been 11 O Clock Tick Tock with original vocals) and When Love Comes To Town, and using the original album versions of Bad, Where The Streets Have No Name, and New Year’s Day.
It really takes me back. I love that decade of U2 so much. One of the best decades of any band ever.
How anyone can listen to that 1990-2000 compilation without flying into a rage is beyond me. The awful New Mixes, the ill-fitting inclusion of ATYCLB material, the dour album art misrepresenting the decade’s visuals...just a terrible package overall.

I've said this 50 million times, nothing can top the live experience of Bad, including of course the album version, but the live version's foundation is the synth loop, not the guitar. Live, synth takes precedence with Edge playing guitar backup, whereas studio it's reversed, and I've always preferred the studio version purely on musical terms.
