Paris #1 Setlist

[corianderstem]

Does Bono still sound wonky? Maybe he's sick.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

My guess is they are going to shake it up for longer encores.

Not sure I could ever contemplate buying a ticket to a show for one song to be fair?

Most of the set is either songs I've heard live before or new songs I'm not fussed about hearing. Having a couple of absolutely great tracks - like The Electric Co. - is enough to bump it across the line from "eh might give it a miss this time" to "yeah sure why not?"

 

[corianderstem]

A) Bono is literally dying

or

B) Prepping for an epic encore.

or

C) They're trolling everyone.

this feels like the opening night of a tour

Got you mate, just not sure where you find the energy for something your not so fussed on anymore lol....much credit to you

 

[PhilsFan]

Are they trying to see if they can do a full show in a two hour window?

 

[prbiker15]

No rotational e-stage slot?

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Although Paris 1 appears to be getting a raw deal here, they have paid the same money as us all to see the show for fucks sake!!

They shouldn't be, the HBO special is 2.5 hours long. But I wouldn't be surprised.

The website's fun, but admittedly probably colours my perspective somewhat. I sure as shit wouldn't do this for any other band!

 

[SpiralStaircase]

One of them must be feeling under the weather. I feel like shite today, I went to work but *I* didn't sing Electric Co to be fair and I've got eleven years on yer man Bono

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Crazy..... wtf!!!!!

 

[PhilsFan]

They shouldn't be, the HBO special is 2.5 hours long. But I wouldn't be surprised.

If the special were to contain non-concert elements (backstage stuff, interview stuff, etc.) it may very well be that they're trying to condense the show for TV.

 

[chrissybaby]

Bono must be saving his voice?

Raw deal for those there.

Ha! This setlist shakeup was really a ploy to get people back to the Setlist Party threads. It got me back!

I can't imagine they'll cut the show short. They've gotta add a SOI track or two at the end.

 

[Axver]

If you're going to condense the show to 2 hours, you're mad if you cut its highlights rather than dead weight like Song For Someone.

Well...no need to complain people..who are we to judge .i am sure the people in the crowd have an excellent time..blablablabla

U2 logic..Lets skip two of the more exciting parts of the show..

You have a point. We'll see.

Surely it's easy enough to just take songs out ON THE NIGHT, though, rather than play potentially 2 shrivelled gigs

Larry just posted a live IG/FB video of him walking to his drums during Oct that showed the set.

..... and what was on the set? Don't leave us hanging, man!

 

[PhilsFan]

If you're going to condense the show to 2 hours, you're mad if you cut its highlights rather than dead weight like Song For Someone.

Song for Someone is a single and considered by the band to be critical to the narrative. None of the rotational songs are, otherwise they wouldn't be rotational songs.

Song for Someone is very likely the shittiest song in the nightly setlist. That doesn't mean they're mad for keeping it over better songs, though.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

It was brief. Go check it out. I saw it on FB but IG may have it.

You could only see the set up through Mysterious Ways.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It doesn't show the bottom of the set, but all the cuts are clearly listed on the set... So this isn't like some last second audible. It's planned this way

I'd have said the second slot is a key part of the "origins of the band" narrative. It may rotate, but whichever song is chosen fits the story.
