I'm 99.9% certain they'll make some changes for the fourth leg, though, so that's what we must look forward to now.

KUEFC09U2 said:why make a thread saying is it worth predicting it, and then predict it
Well, theu2fly's not really "predicting" anything. Based on U2's current trend, that's more than likely going to be the set they'll play. No prediction involved at all. Just a simple copy + paste...

good point u2girl
also, if someone told you before the tour, that you would hear Gloria, Miss Sariejvo, and 40, I think you'd be happy.

Its not a bad setlist by any means. If they only play one gig in a city, why would you expect anything else?

They might play Instant Karma....
i think they might treat omaha as a second night show, so we might see something different.
maybe electric co or i will follow instead of gloria, possibly the ocean, maybe ABOY in the encore and closing with bad.
but im just an optimist like that.

the only one city show I can see changing is Portland, because it's the final show
and they'll get Party Girl, Bad, Fast Cars, or Instant Karma!
or any combination of the 4

I think that pretty much sums it up. Probably about 98% of the crowd last night walked away thinking just like that. We just get to hear the other 2% here all the time.
If you were just going to one show and didnt know what they had been doing recently most people would likely think the current setlist is great.
Lets face it, thats most of the crowd at every U2 show.Blue Room said:

I still think the set could use a couple tweaks to make it better for everyone, even the causal fans.
why they decided to go with bullet the blue sky again on this tour ill never know. i think subbing it with please would have made a much bigger impact. and i dont think the causals would have missed bullet.
i still think the pride-streets transition is weak.
and electric co should be played at every show.
so with just a couple changes, i think a very good set could turn into an amazing one. but a little late for that.

Hey, I actually agree about some of it. Electric Co being dropped is a bad move any way you slice it. I wouldnt mind Pride and/or Bullet not being done for a tour. (Especially Bullet, I see no reason that HAS to be done now, if they need a political song they should do Please). Pride gets a huge reaction so thats not going anywhere.
I guess my point is I have a wishlist also. I would like to see some things different. But its not my choice or anyone elses here. U2 do what they feel works and they do put alot of thought into it. (remember that article about setlists earlier this year where they quoted Larry about how much debate they have on it?) Overall this is a decent setlist currently. Then again, I dont think they have had a bad one on this tour (even the acoustic encore was cool to me). U2 appear to be hitting on all cylinders right now. They have a vibe down they like, and they will most likely stick with it until the end of the third leg (with maybe a song or two changed here and there).

While the setlist being used primarily through this tour isn't PERFECT or even AMAZING, it's certainly not bad or even just OK. It's a very good setlist, and that's all it is.
However, it translates into a continually intense and amazing show night after night. Like I said, there is definitely room for improvement. But I really do understand why you all have to get so disappointed when there aren't any surprises at shows you aren't or weren't ever planning on attending.
Oh yeah, and don't respond to my last sentence. I don't really care why you feel like that.

Gloria was hurt tonight, so Iwill F. Ollow subbed for her. (-:
However, we did get a great version of Crumbs - I think Bono mentioned that it had been "upgraded" -- he said something that I inferred as adjustments to Crumbs, and I thought it rocked.
Bono was on guitar during Crumbs -- I don't remember that from Minneapolis -- has he been playing on Crumbs?

Well my friends, it´s clear they won´t change the setlist for the 2 shows left of the third leg

People here are amazing sometimes. I mean that in both good and bad ways equally.OMG, no more changes!! THERE ARE TWO WHOPPING SHOWS LEFT. Good Lord, and they made a few changes last night. Crumbs being done was a surprise.
BWU2, Bono has been playing guitar on Crumbs. So that wasnt new last night. Cool that you guys got it though!
Despite what some think looks like a good set to me.

Just add New Years Day and Bad and The Fly to every show and the current setlist is improved 10 fold. All I Want Is You would also be nice every now and then.
