Obviously with so many albums, they're never going to get around to covering every album every night - far from it, indeed. But having glanced at a few setlists (trying to keep spoilers to a minimum, but can't help myself) the absence of any material from NLOTH is incredibly noticeable.
While I'm sure there are many fans who are delighted by this having been too keen on the album or the number of songs from it featured on the last tour, personally I liked it and would love to hear "Breathe" live again, or Unknown Caller, or Moment of Surrender (which seems to be snippeted sometimes on this tour but not played in its entirety).
Now obviously going to a U2 concert I know I'm going to be blown away anyway so I don't particularly mind, I'm just surprised. Seeing as it's their second most recent album, I would have expected them to continue their usual trend of emphasising the current and the second most recent album - the 360 tour contained a huge amount of NLOTH and HTDAAB, the Vertigo tour featured a ton of stuff both from HTDAAB and ATYCLB, etc.
Anyone else surprised by this? Or am I entirely wrong about it and have just happened to pick out (at random) the setlists which haven't had anything from the album?
