More new song rumours...

zoostyle, check out tonight's setlist. the 90's never happened, and u2 asks you politely, but sternly to never remind them of the decade again.

Yeah, doesn't it suck that U2 are playing Miss Sarajevo, a song only played twice before this tour, and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, a song that hadn't been done for 12.5 years?

so that makes two fucking songs from 10 years, and three with 'one'.

they had 4 albums to choose from.

that's not a point in your favour, axver.

and who's gonna ride your wild horses hardly counts when it's butchered acousticly. when's the last time they played this thing full-band? have they at all this leg?

mrs. sara7evo is cool no matter what.

and the first time is alright, but i suppose the fact that it took out zoo station is what really irks me. that to me makes no sense at all.

While you've a point about U2 abandoning the nineties albums over the last month or so, they've managed to pretty decently represent the era over the whole tour (half of Achtung has been played!), and this doesn't even begin to how they totally abandoned the eighties albums through the nineties.

WGRYWH was last done electrically on 2005-07-16 in Amsterdam.

On the third leg, U2 have managed to play at least one song from each nineties album along with a song from a side project. In comparison, it took over two legs of ZooTV for U2 to acknowledge they even made anything before The Unforgettable Fire.

The only album I'd agree is less played (I'm guessing due to bringing back the oldies) from the 90's is Pop.

Otherwise, Elevation and Vertigo played more AB songs than Popmart, same goes for Zooropa, and Miss Sarajevo.

The current set has 4 90's songs in rotation - Miss Sarajevo, One, Who's gonna ride.. and First time.
Just like first leg with the Zoo TV 3 song encore and One.


Acoustics? A matter of taste - for me, First time is beautiful, Stuck and Walk on are boring, I haven't yet heard Who's gonna ride your wild horses - with Adam and Larry joining in, it has to be better than the very weak Zoo TV acoustic version.
