Setlist parties are a huge part of the fun for me and I can't wait!

Bad is from UF.
Of course, I often forget that cos it's one of my least favourite things on UF. Was really thinking of ASOH and the title track which could happen I suppose (the former rather than the latter, given UF's appearances last tour). I would explode if they did Promenade but I wouldn't bet a fiver on it, even

The Vertigo setlist parties were a lot of fun. 360 no.

Vertigo parties when they cracked out Crumbs and Fast Cars and The First Time were awesome

Thanks again Peter. And glad to see so many people here giving you the props you deserve on these great reports. They're definitely a real contribution to the board.

I'd also like to thank you, Peter; helluva shift you're putting in. Just stop teasing us!

I saw Smashing Pumpkins open with the entire Oceania album and it was like being at a funeral. The place went mad when Bullet with Butterfly Wings finally came on.
Conversely when I saw Springsteen play the entire Born in the USA and Born to Run (different nights) the audience was captivated and engaged.
Obvious differences being: ages of albums (brand new vs 20+ years) and quality of albums.

I expressed many, many times here joy for many things U2 has done/are currently doing. That doesn´t mean I´m enthusiastic about everything they do. I think bringing back Miracle Drug is not a good idea. The song sounds like conventional U2, it feels a bit forced to me and moreover it wasn´t even a hit back in the day.
Cedarwood is not a bad song, but it is obvious from its structure and the style it is sang, it is a song that fits for evenings with acoustic guitar. Basically, it is a folk song. Thus the arrangment on the album doesn´t quite work. It sounds a bit lost, it is a similar case like Stand Up Comedy, which contains a lot of great ideas, but the final execution fails.
I like the dog they added to California

So is miracle drug conventional U2 or forced U2? And you want to turn one of the rockers from the album into an acoustic number?

Cedarwood is a tighter song than Stand Up Comedy. It is one of those that has dropped a bit in my song rankings of SOI.

MIRACLE DRUG???
ARE YOU FUCKIGN KIDDING ME??
Holy fuck I'd die if I heard that live. I realise I'm probably the only person here absolutely psyched for that song. I've loved it ever since day one and was really dissappointed how Bono's speeching fucked it completely live. With that cut out it's actually pretty nice, and we get to hear Edge sing and a great solo.
Shit, okay, I'm now absolutely psyched.
When does the tour start again?
So glad I dibsed it in the Draft.

The amount of material from Bomb being rehearsed is surprising and a little disappointing. But, hey, I'm sure they're playing it because they want to, and you can't please everyone.

I was making a Snape reference to Digitize's avatar
The funny thing is that I didn't even catch the reference.

So since we've always had a great sign with Bono's haircuts for the quality of the tour, what does it say now it's blonde?? Still short so that's good songs, but what does the dye mean?
Covers of Coldplay's "Yellow" and Blondie's "Call Me".
Yello will be the opening act at all shows, performing an extended 30 minute version of Oh Yeah.

I'm right there with you on this one, GG. I love MD. That 2 chord progression the Edge plays as the rhythm section takes off in the chorus is utterly spellbinding. Always reminds me of Ride (the band) for some reason.
I've even come around on the 'baby's head' lyric. Top tune.
