Right at the end of that video of the tour book, you can clearly see a shot from the video used for Streets during JT30

I don't want to be greedy but there's mixed feelings choosing between UTEOTW (always been my #1 U2 song) and Wild Horses (been in my top ten for a while and hasn't been played in full for so long) while American Soul will be played every show of the tour.

 

[Partyslammer]

Has it been confirmed they have been rehearsing that lousy version of Sunday Bloody Sunday from 2015 or are they playing the more traditional full band version?

2015 version.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but UTEOTW is being rehearsed instead of Wild Horses tonight according to U2start.

Where did you see that - I can’t find it on their twitter or forum thread

Wild Horses belongs in the MacPhisto middle section of shout-alongs

Cheers.

Remy also mentioned that Acrobat was rehearsed tonight as well.

 

[Mack_Again]

just play Last Night On Earth already

The recent Willie interview indicated that they felt the Iris-> RBW section was as integral to this tour as the ‘15 one, so I expect that section to be done identically (marching snares and car bombs and all).

 

[Partyslammer]

2015 version.

 

[Mack_Again]

Edge solo SBS is much better than 2015 version.

 

[prbiker15]

TONIGHT.

2015 SBS is real bad. My dad is gonna be pissed when he hears it again lol

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The Iris through Until The End Of The World portion was a good a stretch of songs as they've ever performed live, Sunday Bloody Sunday included.

I get not wanting to see it again, but the idea that any portion of it wasn't terrific is not something that was widely thought at the time.

 

[DeVaul]

Song for Someone wasn't terrific

May be not terrific.... but it was still bloody good. And it is better than anything Ed Sheeran can ever produce.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Song for Someone wasn't terrific

Well I'd disagree as I think it's key to the theme of the story...

Alas, yes, Song for Someone was the only one people complained about because people like to complain about the song in general..

There wasn't this outpour of dislike for the way Sunday was played like we're seeing here.

............. what?

 

[YBORCITY]

I'd take a technical drawing of the stage and screen with the tour dates on the back, in the vein of what they did for 360 but actually better.

Hey - I have this shirt!!

 

[YBORCITY]

just play Last Night On Earth already

This would be (much more) better!

[Hewson]

Amen.

Go ahead and repeat 2015 Sunday Bloody Sunday, just eliminate the bore that is SFS from the set, and for the love of God don't double down and play 13 as well. One of the two will suck the life out of the room, both is a mind numbingly bad idea.

i dunno, it could work, like a recurring motif, bringing things full circle at the end - they're allowed!

 

[DeVaul]

Sub in Landlady with SFS coda

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

They should move Wild Horses to the encore... Give it a little more life.

I'll give 13 a shot (crazy thought, maybe see if it sucks before bashing it!), but I don't like this ending on a sad depressing song thing. Leave on a high

Because it was a bore live, thematic link or not.
