The Fly
Hopefully this won't start any fights but the way I see this is that U2, as an artist, can come out and do whatever they want. I also see that U2, again as an artist, would probably not want to repeat the same setlist every night. I also see that U2, as a business, would want to try to make all fans happy, both new and old - especially when you are grossing $9 million a show.
I would say, based upon U2's track record and there position as one of the top rock & roll bands of all time, that they have been making very good decisions. I would also say that, as an old fan, they haven't always been making the best decisions but heck, I'm still here so they haven't been bad decisions.
I plan to see them in Las Vegas and LA and would love to see my 40 favorite songs spread out over the two nights but it isn't going to happen yet I still plan to go and will still love the shows.

). By and large, the people that go on and on here are hoping for U2 to add songs that were singles, and/or that were regulars on their initial tours and in some cases even subsequent tours, to the setlist as rotational songs; 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow, Two Hearts Beat As One, A Sort Of Homecoming, Even Better Than The Real Thing, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, The Fly, Lemon, Dirty Day, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, Discotheque, Mofo, Staring At The Sun, Last Night On Earth, Gone, Please(full band), Kite, New York...et al. These songs are not obscure...well, you could make the argument for a couple of them, but most of them are not. These aren't b-sides or never-before-played holy grails. Most of them were singles. And, honestly, it's early in the tour, a lot of the above could very well show up by the time all is said and done(I Will Follow, EBTTRT, Horses, The Fly, Discotheque, Kite, etc).
