Pity it is just too hard for them ressurrect a great song like Wire that hasn't been played in 25 years. If only these songs hadn't been dustbinned for so long there'd be some continuity with the past and some purpose to playing them. I reckon they have dug a hole for themselves regarding setlists. Pick just about any non-single from any album more than 2 albums ago and they practically can't play it (even if they wanted too) since they probably worry about how only the die hards (and there's only a few of those in a big stadium show) would know it. They have effectively killed off their entire back catalogue. Perhaps this is on purpose? I think they are too obsessed with certain songs being tied in with certain eras rather than that was a good song back then so lets try to perpetuate it into the future.
OMG another setlist thread......
