Oh, I agree completely. The other part was Pride leading into Streets. That did not work either. I thought it was bad set list pacing. Really my only complaint about the Vertigo tour was that song transition and the flag visuals for Streets.
Obviously I'm partial to the Vertigo tour. I know I'm in the minority. But they brought back Electric Co, An Cat Dubh, Running To Stand Still and Zoo Station. City was a great intro song and the shows they ended with Bad were just outstanding. Electric Co was one of my dream songs for them to do. So I have that checked off my list of songs to see them play. Next tour they need to do God Part II and I can check off the other one!!!
