Some thoughts, setlist wise
- SBS, Pride, ISHFWILF, WOWY and One need a rest. Don't drop them completely, but rotate them a little. I can't stand the band's lazy WOWY performances, but I understand they aren't going to ever completely ditch that song, it's too important in their history, and arguably their biggest hit.
- I think Bullet will return. Hopefully they do a kickass version of it, not that lame shit they did on the Vertigo Tour. They'll probably do a Bono and Edge acoustic version, EVERY-SINGLE-NIGHT!
- I understand why they play "I will follow", it's their most well known song from the early days, it's easy to play live for all members, easy for the crowd to sing along with and jump along to… but there are about 10 other songs from Boy I wish they'd play instead. I get so sick of IWF being played at nearly every show I've seen.
- Expect 7-8 new songs, dropping to about 5-6 by the end of the tour. Additionally, there will be a song from the new album everybody loves, seems like a great song for a concert, and the band won't even attempt to play.
- There will probably be a valiant effort at the beginning of the tour to play more deep cuts, especially if we're looking at lots of multiple night stands in arenas. As the tour wears on, and moves into stadiums, look for rarities like "Red Hill Mining Town" to be replaced with more familiar songs like WOWY.
