As bored as we are of hearing it, you would think they'd be bored to tears of playing it...
At least it's less obvious now than it was during PopMart.

Wonder if Sunday Bloody Sunday will get the axe eventually too?
No, dropping Pride in favour of NYD is going in exactly the right direction, because NYD doesn't suck live. Partly because its centrepieces are Edge's double duty and Adam's bass. Bono doesn't NEED to try too hard to sing it. Meanwhile, Pride just falls flat if he can't sing the chorus, which is the case for most of its performances. Good riddance to it.
they will probably bring it back for my show NYC 2 lol

I hope not. I'm going to email U2 and ask them to play Gone for my birthday.
I do not know of any live performances of Pride that are better than the album version, which is very rare.

Pride just seems a little brittle of a tune (bridge esp) live in a big stadium.
What??
Ok maybe not better, but UF-JT-LT performances were pretty damn special. As good, even.
REPLACE PRIDE's SPOT WITH GONE
The reaction for Pride was weaker than the reactions for TUF and Bad at Chicago 1... that might have influenced their decision.

Now they just have to replace it with Gone and it's perfect.It appears to be just that. Gone.
While this is true, I'll be disappointed if I don't get to sing Pride's chorus in Phoenix.
Y'know, first show and all...
