Mr.Setlist guru.....what songs are they playing from the Stupid Dream/In Absentia albums?
You know what? I'm so bored I'll just give a rundown of what they've been playing. This naturally could change, since it's their first visit to Australia and it will have been over four months since they've played a gig. But so far, album by album:
The Sky Moves Sideways: The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase One)
Signify: Waiting (Phase One), Sever, Dark Matter
Stupid Dream: Even Less, A Smart Kid
Lightbulb Sun: Lightbulb Sun, Shesmovedon, Hatesong
In Absentia: Blackest Eyes, Trains, The Sound Of Muzak, .3
Futile EP: Drown With Me
Deadwing: Lazarus, Halo, Mellotron Scratch, Open Car
Deadwing DVD-A: Mother And Child Divided
Lazarus single: Half Light
Fear Of A Blank Planet: Fear Of A Blank Planet, My Ashes, Anesthetize, Sentimental, Way Out Of Here, Sleep Together
Nil Recurring: Nil Recurring, Cheating The Polygraph, What Happens Now? (Normal has only been done once, at an acoustic in-store appearance)
Now, some of those are locks for every gig, like FOABP, Anesthetize, Blackest Eyes, Trains, and Halo, while some, like The Sky Moves Sideways, are only done every 3rd or 4th show and Mother And Child Divided has appeared to have vanished. This tour has had great setlist variation.
Now back to your regularly scheduled U2 discussion ...

Yeah, U2 if they did happen to play the G would definitely need to do two shows. It would provide a boost in capacity of about 30,000 on the Telstra Dome over the course of 2 shows, I think. But hell, I think demand is such that they'd be better off doing 3 gigs at the Telstra Dome.
