Judging by seeing the Toronto 2005 Discotheque youtube video.
TLTTGYA will be the last song on SoE, according to Bono in Paris night one
They seem to prefer to pretend it didn't exist, but they cannot hide from it forever.
The fact that we'll probably never hear them play Please or Mofo live again is fucking criminal.
The 2005 version was great! I can't believe they dropped it after only playing it twice. WTF? The only performances of ANY song from POP since the end of the Elevation Tour! (There was 1 instance of SATS in 2011, though not at a U2 concert). I remember there was talk, possibly by Willie Williams, of a "Pop Encore" in the same vein as the "Zoo Encore", which would've featured a rocked up version of Mofo, Discotheque which would segue into Velvet Dress. I'd have loved that as a way to mix up from the Zoo encore, and the lame acoustic encore.
At some point they need to address the POP album. They seem to prefer to pretend it didn't exist, but they cannot hide from it forever.

They will play them again - moods change - in a few years time they will be in a completely different mindset - remember they said they'd never play Sunday Bloody Sunday ever again.The fact that we'll probably never hear them play Please or Mofo live again is fucking criminal.

I'm very bored with SBS, Pride, One and NYD. I hope that, after this tour, these songs make room for MOFO, please, Gone, Magnificent, Kite, Seconds, THBAO, Tomorrow.
Honestly, as much as I loved Mofo and Discothèque during the Popmart Tour. I can't imagine to feel the same for these songs when a 60 year old Bono would sing about "that lovey-dovey stuff".
But a nearly 60 year old Bono singing Mysterious Ways is fine?
NYD wasn't even a mainstay on the past tours... or played in this key even.
Eh, it was done at half (usually much more than half) of the shows of any given tour from War through to Vertigo. 360 and IE really stick out as abnormal for NYD.
I think the perspective of it being rare is one held more by American fans than others, and I suppose for good reason: it missed the entire third leg of Vertigo (North America), and was played just five times in the US on 360. On Vertigo, once you take out that third leg, it appeared at 65 of the remaining 81 shows. On 360 it was played at about a third of the shows outside the US, but only at a sixth in the States.

And I just checked u2gigs.com and wow .. Discothèque was played 18 times on the Elevation Tour? Didn't remember that
So when is this video shoot? Hopefully we'll get more info right after.
Tomorrow in the afternoon, and i'm in.
No more details for now...
