Yeah, go to at least one show. Like many have said, the band sounds great live & are really into the songs. More than JT. And its a U2 show!

I think this tour is one of their finest hours. What a piece of art! Much more better than the IE tour in 2015.

I would imagine DC is going to be the DVD/release. I am hoping that they release E&I and JT2017 DVDs together, because I really want both.

The show is great. Static setlist isn't a problem if you're there for just one show.

It's a problem if you don't want to hear the worst song they've recorded in 10+ years, aka Get Out.

Get Out is terrible, but it is not worse than Boots or SUC. No way. Those are abominatons.

if Wilco can mix setlist up then U2 can do it, right?
So go drop a deuce when that song comes on

Boots live was pretty good. Get Out...not so much.
Not wanting to see a tour over one song is silly

I'm sure they can but like U2 and many bands there content on playing to a 'particular' show/set.
The E+I is a great show. I do regret going to both shows in Las Vegas but I went in with no spoilers. U2 rocked the house both shows. Energy was high during the whole show. I'm not a fan of American Soul but the arena was ready to take over DC when the band played it (its a joke). Only part that was a head scratcher was playing Iris, CWR, & RBW again.
If U2 would have released SOI & SOE together and done the 2 different shows as intended they would have created a buzz.
But overall both tours were great.

You know interference has fallen far when I’m too lazy to write Crapified lyrics.

The only downside is that I loved following some tours to see setlist changes
Let's be serious - this may be a low point for them as far as setlist rotation goes, but they didn't exactly have to fall very far.
They've gone from having two or three spots where they'd rotate the same 2 or 3 songs in, to having one spot where they rotate 2 songs.
This isn't Springsteen going static. This is a band who's sets were already 80 to 90 % static going 95 to 100% static.

its ok we should accept that U2 would never come to Asia or Australia

Didn’t somebody hear a rumor that U2 were planning to go to Australia in late 2019?
Iggy Fizz

yes. in fact every 3.5 minutes someone hears - and repeats - this rumor, going back to around the damn of man.

It would be fun if they had just one spot in the set they dedicated to a true rarity. Mofo, Dirty Day, Reach Around, whatever.
Listen to a few songs on the plane, practice once or twice at rehearsals and give it a shot. Even if it sounds like shit, we’d still be thrilled.
They may even find a live gem they didn’t realize would resonate with the crowd.

that sounds like a great idea to me, but the problem (from their perspective) is that they wouldn't have any prepared visuals and lighting cues to go with the song beyond whatever they could figure out in soundcheck.

That could be part of the fun. No visuals or special effects. Just 4 guys on the e-stage playing Lemon like they’re in Larry’s kitchen.
Just preface it with the “we’ve never/rarely played this” speech.
Of course the odds are zero, knowing how they are about it.
U2 are simply not good without rehearsal.
