Really enjoying the 1st set - great flow. The 2nd set needs a bit of tweaking, though.

...Can you believe they're still playing this?
 
Yeah - Acrobat seems to be key to the narrative, and the performances have been great and well received. It’s not going anywhere
 
This is the first time i get to join in on the fun tonite. I am going to the Newark and MSG shows. What time do the seem to be starting the shows ? Also what song plays on the PA before they come out.

It took six shows for WGRYWH to go from one performance to two on Vertigo, so let's not panic.

Still that run of shows in NY/NJ to come, not to mention 4-night stands in Europe.
 
Tomorrow's another day...

I remember in 2015 the Edge did play weird solo during Vertigo, which probably was like, probably him trying to cover mistake up.
 
Have there ever been any U2 songs that were only played just once during an entire tour? Just I'm worried about Horses never returning again :(

MLK on JT30

Magnificent, Spanish Eyes, and Zoo Station on IE (and In God's Country, but that was not pre-planned; a fan came on stage to join the band).

40 and Spanish Eyes on 360. Plus The Wanderer as part of an improvised medley with ISHFWILF.

An improvised, abbreviated Love Is Blindness on Vertigo.

Spanish Eyes, again, on Elevation, and the unreleased song We Love You, and Running to Stand Still as part of an improvised medley with Desire.

There's the past few tours' one-offs for you.

Just noticed I totally failed to mention Spanish Eyes and Sweetest Thing as JT30 one-offs too. So, usually 2-3 one-offs per tour.

The only previous one-off to be done at the first show of the tour is MLK.
 
First show of the tour for me. It's a great show and I really enjoyed it but the acrobat/best thing transition is god awful. My friend (casual fan who loves JT) went to the washroom in the middle of acrobat... [emoji33]
Wow, so much for crowd appeal. I loved it though, worth the price of admission as far as I'm concerned. After that it's downhill though, they have to retool the last third of the show stat. It may make sense thematically but it needs work to keep the audience engaged. I'm not a fan of elevation and vertigo, but it really got the crowd going all the way to the end of acrobat. Insanely fun. Tonight I'm doing seats so I'll get to see the screen too. We were too close for that last night just one row behind the rail.

Ahh, thanks for the info
 
Man, have a buddy who went to the show last night and basically said it sucked. Band was off, crowd was off, the whole thing... not good.

Weird because SJ2 seemed really solid.
 
My one and only show this tour. I thought it was incredible. Haven’t been around here because I’ve been avoiding spoilers, and I’m glad I did- Acrobat was an amazing surprise! Loved the whole show. Was right behind Sil, and she and her friends were lovely. One of them grabbed me and pulled me over to take her spot at the rail for the encore. I’m still buzzing. Loved hearing the new SoE songs- thought they sounded great, visuals were stunning. Wish I had another show lined up.
