Joshua Tree A-Side

[zoopop]

Anyone else think U2 needs to give these tunes a rest or just rotate them a bit more. I can live w/ Streets, its the defining U2 live track. BUT, Bullet needs a serious nap and ISHFWILF/WOWO always find their way back in the setlist.

 

[Blue Room]

I agree about Bullet. The rest though I dont mind hearing at all.

 

[U2Man]

zoopop, you're my hero.

Don't forget, though, that U2 are currently playing in parts of the world where they seldom come, so I could imagine that people there look at this differently.

But Bullet......

 

[RA-D]

(i like Bullet, it's a great live song)

 

[U2mixer]

Keep Bullet - just turn it back into a ZOO or POPMART style.

Have to admit that the E tour version was pretty good too!

Lose WOWY.

Bring back RTSS.

 

[theu2fly]

Bullet stays every tour for it's message.

 

[Axver]

The tour was better before they brought back ISHFWILF and WOWY as regulars.

Now the setlist is just overloaded by JT and AB classics.

 

[ponkine]

Bring Running To Stand Still back pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Blue Room]

Bullet stays every tour for it's message.

But Please conveys similiar messages. Now they also have Love And Peace Or Else. Both could easily be substituted for Bullet and have similiar themes.

I dont hate Bullet. Its just been played too much. It needs to take a break for a tour.

 

[Mauwer]

The biggest problem I think is ISHFWILF.
They always bring it back in the setlist.
And what gets dropped for it is always one of the coolest songs.
This tour it seems that An Cat DUbh \ ITH got dropped by ISHFWILF.
And on the Elevation tour The Fly got dropped for ISHFWILF ( 3rd leg ).

Cheers ,

Mauwer

p.s. Next time they should only play Streets of the A-side songs of the JT album.

 

[Nisse]

Agree, where's In God's Country, One Tree Hill, Exit, Mothers Of The Dissapeared or Trip Through Your Wires?

 

[zoopop]

The tour was better before they brought back ISHFWILF and WOWY as regulars.

Now the setlist is just overloaded by JT and AB classics.

The setlist was close to perfect with ISHFWILF and WOWY out of the picture. For the 9,994,446 time U2 needs to rotate


I Will Follow
New Years Day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Pride
Bad
Streets (should be played every show)
ISHFWILF
WOWY
Bullet
Desire
All I Want Is You

Rotate 6-8 of these songs a night to keep the diehards surprised and the general public happy.
