Just got out of class. What the fuck at this show? Pretty disappointing is this is what is immortalized in the HBO doc.

AGAIN: it is unlikely this is the show they will use, as they are flying a fan in for the Saturday show to be onstage (see the U2.com contest) and are filming the other Paris shows.
No, sorry. Clearly you're totally lying. Admit the show sucked!!!
Glad to hear it was still a good show, weird setlist aside.
They dropped a couple of songs. The rotational song that usually comes after The Miracle, and one of the rotational e-stage songs.
How did Bono sound? I wasn't listening, but a few people listening online mentioned he sounded a little weird ... maybe sick? Or was something just lost in the feed?
I get being bummed/slightly peeved about the choices, but come on. What's remotely "ballsy" about playing two extra songs? It's not like they've been playing Acrobat on the regular and don't want it in the broadcast.
If they go with this setlist for the broadcast, they feel it's indicative of the theme of the show. Adding Electric Co/Gloria/Out of Control and whatever other b-stage song doesn't take away from the overarching theme of the show, which may be what they think is most important to highlight.
But whatever. U2 gonna U2, people gonna bitch, people gonna get over it.
And by the end of it, felt pretty close to a fucking greatest hits show.
Yes I included Streets in that list. Go on, call me an iconoclast.
That I get. It was the "they lost their balls" comment that irked me. I mean, playing Out of Control isn't very ballsy.
Yeah, this is the main thing for me. Why would I attend this show? Almost every song I've either seen live before, or are new songs that I have a very limited interest in seeing (Cedarwood being the closest to an exception). I haven't seen EBTTRT live before and I would enjoy the chance, but it's not high on my "must see" list. October and Zooropa would be a thrill to hear, the latter especially (even if it is abbreviated), but dropping a large sum of money for all of four minutes of a show? No thanks. I don't need to hear Vertigo, SBS, MW, Elevation, Streets, Pride, WOWY, COBL, BD, or One again, so I'd rather it if some of the other songs played around them were special.

Spookily, Paris also lost 2 songs opening night of ZooTV
