Shuttlecock XV: Seppos and the 42: Cobbler's Epic Fail

[david]

I'm at a fair where Berlin is playing and this dude has the coolest jacket:

I thought cobl went back home already.

 

[bono_man2002]

Is he wearing a 42 cap?

 

[david]

Hah, no, I should have talked to him.

 

[david]

I want to just clarify, I do think his patches are awesome and that I wish I would have talked to him. I think he was part of Berlin's crew.

 

[Axver]

Guys, that song?

IT'S BAAAACK.

 

[Mack_Again]

Guys, that song?

IT'S BAAAACK.

MLK?


(just kidding I'm happy about it as well)

 

[namkcuR]

Guys, that song?

IT'S BAAAACK.

I just hope it sticks around until Philly.

 

[lazarus]

until Philly.

Hey, last we heard Peef was leaning towards not going. He can't jinx it if he's not there.

 

[Axver]

If he's not there, that practically guarantees it will be played, as well as the only performance of The Fly this tour.

 

[gump]

Damn now I need to get a ticket for night 2 in NYC.

 

[LemonMelon]

Replaced one amazing song with another instead of playing both. Because U2.

 

[namkcuR]

Man I really want both at my show. They did play both at three shows early on.

 

[lazarus]

So relieved I went to LA1.

Looks like they will maybe rotate Bad and ASOH?

It looks like the songs on offer are pretty set in stone. Going off what they've played so far, I think they could play this every night (and this is realistic) and everyone could be pretty happy.

1. Sunday Bloody Sunday
2. New Year's Day
3. A Sort of Homecoming
4. Pride
5. Where the Streets Have No Name
6. Still Haven't Found
7. With or Without You
8. Bullet the Blue Sky
9. Running to Stand Still
10. Red Hill Mining Town
11. In God's Country
12. Trip Through Your Wires
13. One Tree Hill
14. Exit
15. Mothers of the Disappeared

16. Miss Sarajevo
17. Bad
18. Ultraviolet
19. One

20. Beautiful Day
21. Elevation
22. Little Things
23. I Will Follow

I feel like everyone here would be happy with that set, no? It's realistic given they've played all these songs, you get ASOH, it's 23 songs long, Miss Sarajevo is much better as the encore opener, you get Bad in a spot where it has a lot more power, you get the new song and you get I Will Follow as a closer, which, as anyone who has seen the show can attest to, is a fucking awesome way to end proceedings.

 

[lazarus]

Adios, spoilers.

 

[cobl04]

Mate, refresh the page.

And if he goes, welcome back Stuck In A Moment....

 

[joyfulgirl]

That song sounded so great tonight.

Seriously, how is this not the set? It's an absolute no-brainer. Why they feel the need to rotate a handful of the songs when the show is short by post-Elevation Tour standards is beyond me.

 

[cobl04]

They could honestly play that with zero changes for the rest of the tour and I think we could all be pretty happy.

Eh, the encores are still clumsy. But if they're dead-set on those specific songs, there's not much to be done about it.

Though personally I'd order it:

Beautiful Day
Elevation
Ultra Violet
One

Miss Sarajevo
Bad
Little Things
I Will Follow

A setlist very similar to this one already happened:

U2 Seattle, 2017-05-14, CenturyLink Field, Joshua Tree Tour 2017 - U2 on tour

Not sure why it didn't become commonplace.

 

[cobl04]

oh shit! yah. the order's fucked in that set, but I'd take it

 

[Axver]

Seattle got easily the best set so far. Doubt it will be beaten for the rest of the leg. Maybe there'll be some changes in Europe at least...

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Just out of curiosity, who is left in this thread that needs spoilers at this point? I know I don't care...

 

[BVS]

I'm at a fair where Berlin is playing and this dude has the coolest jacket:

I like the random Spider-Man and pacman patches.

They'll have to change the visuals for Bullet and Miss Sarajevo (and Ultraviolet a little bit) but otherwise I don't see much scope for changes. I'm guessing they haven't thought ahead re Miss Sarajevo's visuals, so that might be the one slot for change. About the most positive we can be about Please.
