No way. I doubt you'll find much agreement on that one.
There is no way. NO WAY. What are you talking about??! They were great, awesome, amazing. But better than when they first came out?
Only if you find something original to say.
Not to be pedantic, but I'd say Popmart's sets were somehow even more static than ZooTV's.

I never liked the ZOOTV performances of RTSS, even when it was new. Love the song, thought they made a mess of it that tour.
And Gloria came out in 1982. I'm talking 1988, when it was last performed, until it took a break and came back sounding so great for the Vertigo tour.
And WITHOUT QUESTION Electric Co sounded better on the Vertigo tour than EVER before!!! (IMHO)

That's why the old characters shouldn't be abused again either. They belonged to a different era, and should be kept there.
Everything you've ever posted is now worthless based on this single comment.

Fine that means they can only play songs from NLOTH
Great reasoning.
Um, no it doesn't. You can play Ultra Violet without dressing up and trying to act like MBM.

Oh no Gabe, somebody prefers something different to your preference! Jesus christ, get over it.
Personally, I think the Vertigo Tour had better performances of The Fly and TEC than their debut tours did. You clearly think this is an impossibility. So what?

But to be fair Axver has a point.

I'm just SOOOOOOO happy "Vertigo" and "Elevation" didn't make an appearence...having said that wish they would scrap "Angel Of Harlem" and "In A Little While" in favour of songs like "Exit" "Acobat" "Love Is Blindness" "Gone" "Please" or something darkly similar....LOVE the fact that Unforgettable Fire is there!!!!!!

Yeah, The Fly is another great example! Certainly the best performance of the song since it was new. SONICALLY the best ever, although the ZOOTV performances were so much about the visual for me as well......
And I honestly don't get how anyone could listen back to back to a classic early 80s performance and a 2005-6 performance of Electric Co and not agree that the song was better than ever..... Unless they're just being nostalgic, I guess? (IMHO)

Don't mean to start an argument with the Setlist Antichrist, but...
ZooTV - 54 songs, 158 shows
Popmart - 55 songs, 94 shows
Of course, there was an extra album's worth of songs (plus Passengers and HMTMKMKM) in the U2 catalogue by that point.

Just got back. When I turned the Radio on in the car the first song I heard was MW and when I was driving home on a different station ISHFWILF came on. U2 is in the air

So, did Bono pull anyone up on stage to dance with him?

That would be because they couldn't nail a huge number of songs, as opposed to zootv where they had a tight set that worked every night.
However, I agree with Ax in Popmart being more static because once they found the set they wanted, they hardly ever changed it

Okay, I'm leaving now...I'm still too friggin' happy about Streets and the RED FREAKIN' SCREEN to let anything ruin it.

I look like crap there, because I was hiding some mics in my hoodie...

actually, I think many of the Electric Co. performances on Vertigo Tour were the best ever of that song....

The concern/critique is so easy to dismiss when your view is that U2 can do no wrong. The fact is that it's a safe, predictable, unchallenging set... and they're over-compensating with their "rarities".
The Norm + UF + Ultraviolet = AMAZING!!!11!!
