I highly doubt that IALW will be played on this tour.
It almost never got played on Vertigo tour and just under half of the 360 shows, yet some on here would like to make us think it was played at every show!
I highly doubt that IALW will be played on this tour.
It was indeed just a snippet. Which make's Hawkmoon's last performance on December 18, 1989 in Amsterdam.Wait, Hawkmoon was played on Elevation? Wasn't that a snippet? If not, how have I missed it?
Just for the hell of it, I've compiled a list every pre-2000 song that wasn't played on either 360 or Vertigo. That means it's a list of songs that haven't been played in at least twelve years and at most thirty-three years. I've not counted snippets or non-tour performances(i.e. SATS was played at the Clinton thing in 2011, VDL was played on Irish TV in 2008)
.......
Considering that An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart, The Ocean, The Electric Co., Gloria, full band "40", Running To Stand Still, Zoo Station, The First Time, The Wanderer, and Miss Sarajevo made comeback appearances on Vertigo, and Scarlet, The Unforgettable Fire, Mothers Of The Disappeared, Love Rescue Me, Ultraviolet(Light My Way), Zooropa, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, and Electrical Storm made comeback appearances(or in ES's case firs-time appearances) on 360, it's not hard to imagine 5-10 of the above making comeback appearances on the next tour. It seems like it might be a pattern now to bring a handful of songs back each tour that haven't been played in a while.
It was indeed just a snippet. Which make's Hawkmoon's last performance on December 18, 1989 in Amsterdam.
Please was played full band once on Elevation -- third leg in Baltimore.

That is a depressing list.
One Tree Hill (make this a semi staple at least, most fans at least like it live and would like to see them play that do not live down under, or in Santiago Chicago was an impromptu mess)
I'm putting in my every tour request for God Part II.
Songs that will probably return:
Bullet (glad it was skipped last tour but time to come back)
Other songs that I would "like" to see:
A Sort Of Homecoming (full band, no acoustic BS)
Hawkmoon 269 (see above)
In God's Country (see above)
Exit
One Tree Hill (make this a semi staple at least, most fans at least like it live and would like to see them play that do not live down under, or in Santiago Chicago was an impromptu mess)
I definitely would support this. Songs like One Tree Hill, Running to Stand Still, and even Bullet need to come back as regulars.I have a feeling The Joshua Tree is going to be featured on this next tour in the same way AB was on the latter parts of 360...just my guess. In that case, I could definitely see both OTH, and/or In God's Country, and possibly even Exit, making a comeback (though it's hard to see where the latter would fit in a setlist).
If I ever hear One Tree Hill Live, I will weep with joy.
If I ever hear A Sort of Homecoming Live, I will weep with joy and then likely shimmer out of existence, never to be seen or heard from again.
You have excellent taste. ASOH, U2's best song, is long overdue to be played again. I think the last time they played it was at Slane in 2001. I really wish there was a good live recording of this song out there somewhere...in fact I'm not sure they've ever really done this song justice live. Which could be why they never play it.
I was there at Slane I and I have to say, ASOH was pretty poor, and my memory is that it went down like a lead balloon in front of 80,000 people. (I do love the song on record, but agree that live it's never really taken off. I think it might be the driving bass on the album version that's not been replicated.)

Your Slane story isn't encouraging, and the fact they didn't bother to play it the second night should tell us something. If they couldn't get that crowd psyched up for that song in that venue, I'm not holding out much hope for it coming back next time around. But who knows, the song is more suited for an arena, and that's yet another reason to hope for a smaller venue tour this time.
This sort of explains the overlooked part of these set list arguments... how many of these songs would actually sound good in a live setting? A lot of them might look good on paper or sound great on the studio recording, but it could be a different story when it comes to performing them at shows.
