New York V Setlist Watch and Party, Part II

[Niceman]

How is this a fifth night setlist????

 

[timothius]

Well, why don't u just stop following the setlist and go and do something that doesn't wind u up so much??

Like watching the ICC World XI lose wicket after wicket?

 

[discothequeLP]

Yep sorry it is 21 and over...and she is in Vegas with me

no wonder nobody else booked a gig on the night of a u2 show

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd the claws come out.

:mee-ow:

 

[Lila64]

Interesting. I just got another text from MTEdge. He says the setlist has been changed 3 times tonight. I'm not sure what that means.

maybe he saw the setlist printout??

What the hell does that have to do with anything? This is a LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT. Oh, wait, some of you don't think there's such a thing when it comes to U2.

This is the fifth night in NYC, for goodness' sake. It's only reasonable to expect the setlist to have a bit of variety. This is simply poor, even by U2's standards.

Looks like show #3 was the one to go to, with Zoo Station and The Fly.

Well I'd have to say show 2 was the one to go to b/c of the guest appearance. It was really good.

 

[Niceman]

I don't care if Mofo, Electrical Storm and I threw a Brick through a Window all show up at the end, there is no excuse for such a static setlist on night 5!

I still can't believe U2 booked 5 consecutive nights in MSG. They must be sick of the place by now.

 

[one4u2]

OK I just returned for encores did I miss anything exciting?

Precisely.

It's on the cards.

I bet it was a lot more interesting than this.

 

[bono_man2002]

Theres is...if your not actually there.

Stuck in Moment Aucostic

 

[Partyslammer]

Just a couple people ready to hurl about the fact U2 seems to be running on auto pilot for the last leg of the tour.

T.B.

 

[bridonohue]

lesson learned from this garden leg: not really worth the cash to go to a bunch of shows in a row. i know if i still lived in nyc i would have bought tickets for every show, and i know i would have been dissapointed. i am sure i would have had a great time, but still would have been dissappointed because my expecations of a varied setlist would have been high by the 4th or 5th night. would have hoped for something at least as surprising as boston 4 on elevation.

it ain't over til it's over Axver... and if you were at MSG tonight and I was standing next to you and you just said that, I might have to spill my beer on your foot! I'm sure it's awesome there tonight.

I was there and I thought 1 was a better setlist.....

 

[Blue Room]

I think the MOFO prayers just went down the tubes.

I have to say, this is one of the few times I'm actually a little disappointed with the setlist choice. Its a fifth night, there should be at least a little variety. Maybe to much partying in NY instead of working on stuff at soundcheck.

BIG SURPRISE: U2 fail expectations and play the same bloody thing yet again.

 

[packcrush]

The First Time/Stuck = worst encore EVER

 

[rock888nwo]

man....no rocking encore...that really is disappointing

 

[mamaoe]

i wroooteeee

THE FIRST TIME / STUCK IN A MOMENT / WOWY / ABOY / YAHWEH / 40

 

[u2wedge]

I was there and I thought 1 was a better setlist.....

I'd agree with you. I thought the crowd was better at show 2, though.

 

[lemon_vr6]

Somehow I don't think U2 feels any obligation to appease the setlist nazis pouncing on their every move. All of you would rather see the show going on right now than sitting in front of your computers ragging on everything.

 

[cleazer]

Stuck?

Well, I guess U2 is all proud of bringing that song back, and NYC just got unlucky that they brought it back during their 5 shows.
