I didn't know...but I expected 11 of the 12 album tracks, I thought Fast Cars would show up a few times in Europe.

I did not expect the Boy tracks, Zoo Station, or Running to Stand Still.

I expected more from All That You Can't Leave Behind.

I expected Please and Gone from POP.
 
I expected Gone, Stay, Walk on, Crumbs, maybe Hold Me Thrill Me (which suits the generally rock-y flavor of this tour).

Did not expect the mini-ZooTV set, I Still Haven't Found, or anything other than I Will Follow from Boy.

22 songs...not too unreasonable...in fact I think Last Night On Earth is the only totally unlikely thing on there...but then, An Cath Dub was totally unlikely too.

That was going to the show.
Actually, thats the rehearsal set list is it not?.
Then they did the rehersal...and wanted to change it.

Parts of it are feasible, except Yahweh full band, isnt happening and I doubt Angel Of Harlem also. I would predict Stuck before that and I dont think either will be done.
 
I am still amazed 'Electrical Storm' didn't get an airing in Europe. Imagine all those images from the video on the big screen outdoors with lighting effects light lightning etc... Major missed opportunity there lads!

The lack of 'Pop' and 'Zooropa' doesn't overly surprise me - but it would have been a nice gesture. I could see where they could slot the odd attempt at 'Lemon' or 'Dirty Day' into the set and thrill a few fans. 'Gone' or 'Last Night On Earth' would also fit in well - heck, 'So Cruel', 'Until The End Of The World' and 'Acrobat' would fit as well. Why oh why do U2 hate their 90's output?

I don't get why they can do 'Miss Sarajevo' and not 'The Sweetest Thing' for instance. Grrrr.
 
I was quite realistic and was pretty much right, except I never expected Zoo Station to surface EVER again, or An Cat/ITH for that matter. I was surprised that A Man and a Woman hasn't shown up at least once, since it reminds me of Wild Honey and that got limited play on Elevation tour. The rest of the stuff they haven't played on HTDAAB I didn't count on making the set anyway...I was shocked that Yahweh did, let alone OOTS.

Honestly, I am astounded that Walk On and Electrical Storm haven't surfaced. I think I'd drop Elevation or BD for an anthem like Walk On.
 
I wasn't expecting Gloria to return either, much less 40...

Crumbs, Electrical Storm, Walk On, and Gone, we're waitin for you...
 
Thought basic before dress rehearsal rumors started floating around, then added some songs.
