Sorry really cant see where he says that, i see him saying they have a great show though, but hey whatever
but they're not going to take this so far as to play Mercy. Like a few others here, I'm frustrated they brought out the Mercy guns, since it's almost guaranteed to be bullshit.
First off, I think anyone honestly expecting them to even think about playing Mercy is kidding themselves.
I think that Willie mentioning it is more tongue-in-cheek than any rabid fan-baiting. I think he knows as well as some of us that it's laughable to suggest they're going to pull it out at a live show.
I was thinking more about how Mercy has grown into this mythological beast of U2 lore, where fans keep wondering if it will ever be released, and how amazing it is, etc.
No one here would even know Drowning man got played/rehearsed at all if Willie hadn't mentioned it. Just because it's rehearsed doesn't mean it will get played.

Good Lord, Miss Sarajevo went over people's heads? I guess they have their copies of U218 to comfort them in their time of befuddlement.
Give HMTMKMKM some time to warm up. Ultraviolet wasn't an immediate smash, but by the end of the first leg, it had become a staple. I wish they would have done the same with Electrical Storm, rather than simply chucking one of their best 00s singles to the side. I think that song is a very smooth fit with both the theme and mood of 360.

It's funny - everyone has their warhorses they're still fond of. Still Haven't Found is one of mine. It makes me feel good, and thousands of people filling the stadium with singing gives me chills.
So I'm fine with them keeping that.
But absolutely with you on IALW and Elevation, although to be fair, seeing the crowd jump up and down and get into Elevation, I understand why they play it.
....I grudgingly understand.
I griped about WOWY at first, but I've (grudgingly, again) come around to it, so I'm with you there as well.
