Setlist varies Glad USA is second leg

[badu2fan]

THis is why it is great the band practise in Europe before landing in USA> they start to vary things as they must get bored and maybe with a little practice they feel comfortable making changes.......

We are so lucky to have second leg. Now lets hear some Popmart music please!!!!

 

[monsieur fly]

Hear hear! Though as a European, I'd be kind of disappointed missing out but fair enough, they've practised on America for the last four tours at least!

They have a european leg in 2010 so whats the problem?

 

[monsieur fly]

Well, they might have stopped experimenting by then!

 

[Steved1998]

For the 3rd and 4th leg I'm sure they'll drop songs and add others... Maybe saving White as Snow and SUC and some other gems.. Or maybe add a bunch from Songs of Accent

oh pahhhleeeezzzzzzzzzz......

How do you know? Vertigo became a near- Greatest Hits tour by leg 5

 

[Steved1998]

How do you know? Vertigo became a near- Greatest Hits tour by leg 5

Yea but Leg 3 saw them break out Crumbs, Fast Cars, Discotheque (for two shows) The First Time, Stuck and Walk On Acoustically

Didn't U218 come out around Leg 5?

 

[monsieur fly]

The point is, none of us really know what they'll do.

 

[Steved1998]

I do, but Bono made me promise not to tell

 

[monsieur fly]

Haha

 

[SBU2]

I just hope they get a DVD out from these 2 legs cause id hate for the lights of crazy tonight remix, until the end of the world, UV and UF to be dropped and not have a place on the DVD.

 

[Steved1998]

I wish for once they'd release a DVD and put songs that they've been playing, but weren't played at the show they filmed the DVD as extras or something..


Gloria, The Ocean and Bad come to mind from the Vertigo tour..

 

[BonoFly]

I see them on the 29th and I'm dying for them to play at least ONE of these four...

Your Blue Room
Until The End Of The World
New Year's Day
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)


If I had to choose though, I'd probably take Your Blue Room, only because I absolutely LOVE how it is sounding live and, I'd be able to say that I was at one of the first few shows in which it was played.

But, if not that, then definitely UTEOTW because it's in my Top 10 songs ever.

 

[coolian2]

given this tour is more fluid than any they've had in a long time (generally speaking), they'll still be mixing it up next year.

put the house on it.

 

[BonoFly]

I still believe they should bring back Zooropa or debut Red Hill.

 

[theu2fly]

I think it has to do that the European crowds love the material as is, but we as Americans are generally bored during concerts.

this makes less than no sense.

But more than the thread title.

i was going to say something last night, but i thought i'd let the trainwreck get a head of steam up before saying so.

 

[redhotswami]

Damn! I keep fucking things up again!!!

 

[coolian2]

Damn! I keep fucking things up again!!!

it hasn't really taken off like i hoped it would, so you were completely right in pointing it out!

 

[djparky]

mmm well as a European I'm glad we got the show first- made a welcome change from having to wait months before they're finished touring the US.

Also meant that when I saw that first show at Nou Camp I had no idea what I was going to see or hear- and I'm alot less bothered than many round here abour rotating set lists and hearing stuff like DM and YBR which frankly mean nothing to me at all- much rather have the "hits" than those 2 songs any day

 

[last unicorn]

I am glad I'm European and went to the concerts of the first leg, because honestly nothing I've heard and seen so far from the US leg has convinced me that it's the better set. In fact I think European shows were better, set-wise and audience-wise. The only thing that's new is Your Blue Room, a great song, but not good in a live setting, so I don't mind missing that one. The two Milan shows were the best I've ever seen, everything was so fresh, band in good mood, excellent audience, great Bono voice and a lot of good songs and rarities in the set. I've heard songs played in Europe that I'm sure they won't play in the US, even though I'd be happy for the American fans if they did. So I'd say Europeans definitely had the better leg of the tour.

 

[PopMart2005]

I really want a Lemon return

 

[coolian2]

The only thing that's new is Your Blue Room, a great song, but not good in a live setting, so I don't mind missing that one.

in your opinion

 

[BonoFly]

I think Your Blue Room is great live and I'm dying for them to play it in Landover. If they played that, UTEOTW, and Stay, I'd probably die right on the spot.

 

[powerhour24]

I think YBR is awesome live, having seen it in person.

 

[Harry Vest]

I'm a little peeved that "Bad" hasn't been played as much as I thought it would be - they were really starting to create something different with the song i.e. London and Cardiff with Bono noodling on guitar...just when I thought it was going to be a staple on the tour they quit playing it...c'mon boys...BRING BACK "BAD"!!!!

 

[lemon_vr6]

It is nice to be seeing a fully warmed-up band and production after seeing the first ten Vertigo shows. The vertigo shows were good, but the band and the show improved and settled into a groove and were drastically better by the time I saw them on leg 2 in Europe. I'm looking forward to Phoenix/Vegas/LA.
