I'm happy with that.

 

[Axver]

From the last thread ...

They seem set on 22-23 songs. Working with that number as your max, it's not bad.

Personally, I think that if your main set is going to be about 18 songs and you want to do 23 maximum, a single encore of five is possibly better ... but yeah, either way, it works.

18 song main set, 3 song first encore, 3 song second encore would be sweet.

 

[digitize]

I just noticed... no SYwhatever!

 

[uuu222]

I'm happy with that.

Me too...what a great setlist! If those final 5 songs hold, that will be an incredible encore!

Yeah, I really wish they had slipped Bad in after One, or between Streets and One. Or before Streets!

could they PLEASE do it like this.

 

[BWU2Buffs]

What? No Bullet?

Like this a lot; reminds me of Zoo -- open strong with new songs.

Only one that seems like a misfit to me is In A Little While -- but I won't complain. Promise.

 

[digitize]

I do really like that they're opening with four NLOTH songs, and closing with one.

 

[Axver]

I must admit, I prefer Pride --> MLK --> Walk On to Pride --> MLK --> Streets. The latter gave me Vertigo Tour vibes ... except now I'm getting that from Streets --> One.

I was so loving One not having a firm place in the set at the earlier rehearsals too! It was obviously a given it would be worked in sooner or later though.

Unknown Song in Gmaj. And *possibly* Drowning Man. It may or may not have been rehearsed tonight (I'm thinking it was).

 

[Axver]

I wouldn't count Seconds based on a simple bass soundcheck (Adam warmed up with 4th Of July before one gig in April 2001!), and I'm certainly wary of counting Electrical Storm as rehearsed ...

 

[DRay9911]

don't like them only playing 2 songs, just to come back for 3 more.

[phillyfan26]

The two songs they played earlier in the night were Mysterious Ways and the Unknown Song, correct?

 

[Miringeltje]

What was the average # of songs being played during last tour?

Maybe they dont, we dont actually know how the show flows, and we wont know until next tuesday,

 

[Axver]

What was the average # of songs being played during last tour?

Depending on what part of the tour, it ranged between 21 and 24. Shortest set had 20.

Sorry but that setlist would be fine by me at cardiff (apart from the you'll never walk alone snippet, i am an evertonian)

 

[zwervers2]

stuck in a moment...

 

[Axver]

Stuck was done today? Fuck!

 

[DRay9911]

i want to hear a 'rocket man' and 'billy jean' snippet

[edited to add] msnbc.com is reporting that the la times is reporting that jacko has died

Depending on what part of the tour, it ranged between 21 and 24. Shortest set had 20.

26 at Croke Park III. The longest U2 show ever. Hopefully they will surpass it on this tour.

As I said before, not feeling this setlist. More than half of the songs are from the last three albums and the 80s choices - apart from two notable exceptions - are quite predictable. The biggest problem is that it lacks some fine rockers, hence the lack of 90s material. Oh well, the inclusion of Mysterious Ways gives me hope they'll try and give it more punch. There's still enough time.
