I've never seen it before either. Where are the experts?
wow, they played 10 songs out of Pop?
Bono to hand deliver new U2 single to BBC radio 2 in March,I'm guessing by new they mean RHMT?
Can we assume there will be a film clip as well?
To be honest though, I don't understand are releasing a single. Tickets have sold well. Can't see the point.
Yeah, check out the opening night of Popmart. Played everything except Playboy Mansion and WUDM. DYFL and IGWSHA were dropped early on, and Miami was dropped during the 2nd North American leg. WUDM was eventually worked in as a Coda for "One", at the end of the show.
Yea it's odd. All but a few shows have sold out.Can we assume there will be a film clip as well?

That opening night of Popmart was a hot mess, but fascinating to watch. I need to watch that bootleg DVD again; it's been a while.

Only one U2 album has had every song played live, Boy, but at the moment Pop is actually the closest to being the second to achieve that. 11 of 12 were played (though never more than 10 in one show), plus the twelfth, Playboy Mansion, was snippeted. Other albums that fall one song short have not had that one unplayed song snippeted.
Obviously this stat will change come May this year.
Ugh, I don't know why i punish myself and go read the forums at @U2. Wanted to see some feedback on the MOJO article.
Pretty much pages of people dissing The Best Thing and how embarrassing it was. And then saying they should bring in Rick Ruben now to get the raw sound, and how great Windows in the Skies was. Christ. To me that song is definite B-side material.
Anyway, makes me appreciate you guys here.
Axver, a while back I posted this to you I think. I have a Sound & Gigging Magazine from June 1997. And they talked about the Popmart production and on they had a setlist titled:
"Not in stone' Setlist April 3rd, 1997
-Pop Muzik
-Mofo
-I Will Follow
-Real Thing
-Do You Feel Loved
-Last Night On Earth
-Gone
-End of the World
-Gods Angels (Bono & Edge on B-side)
-Playboy Mansion (Band on b stage)
-Staring At The Sun (Band on b stage)
-Miami
-Bullet
-Miss Sarajevo
-Please
-Streets
-Lemon Impossible
-Discotheque (b-stage)
-Velvet Dress (Bono solo on b stage)
-With Or Without You (main stage)
-Hold Me Thrill Me
-Mysterious Ways
-One
Looks like they were shooting for 11 out 12 from Pop in the beginning! Even had Miss Sarejevo in there. The article has an actual picture of the set. Pretty cool
And they worked on Playboy Mansion right up until the last couple of days before Popmart began.
And let's not forget they worked on it again in 2015 before IE! So Pop has come painfully close to getting 12 out of 12, despite its maligned position in the band's history.

There is a recording of Playboy Mansion. I thought it was on YouTube!
Or am I thinking of One Step Closer? That was another fucking odd choice.
As for Pride on Popmart, it was Bono who didn't want to include it, and he was right. He couldn't sing it for shit that tour. Easily the worst performances of that song.
U2 had me at Velvet Dress on the PopMart tour! talk about a band with balls. Pop to me was/is the ultimate experience tour!!Yep, that's pretty neat. Total of 13 new songs, and interesting how Bullet into Miss Sarajevo ended up being done some eight years later on Vertigo. And they worked on Playboy Mansion right up until the last couple of days before Popmart began.

I would laugh so hard if, at the first show in Vancouver this year, Playboy Mansion is played in the set before JT, thus letting Pop beat JT to second to have all its songs played live. (No shit this won't happen.) No matter what, though, JT will be the first album to have every song played in the same setlist - unless there's a really unusual set from May-August 1980 we don't know about (I Will Follow wasn't played until May; Shadows and Tall Trees is last known to have been played in July and could have crept into August). I would suggest, however, judging by what we know of sets from that time, that this is at best a 0.01% chance of having ever happened.
I already covered this.
Pretty sure that despite some recent claims to the contrary, RHMT was meant to be the second single rather than ISHFWILF and that WOWY was always meant to be first.
