I think also some of the blame should be focused on Willie Williams and his lighting crew. I think that he shares almost equal say in what the setlists are. They obviously work very well together, and Willie is surely one of the best in his field, but he certainly likes things to remain a certain way too I think.

U2 used visuals as the "excuse" as to why they didn't play changing setlists.
Then came Elevation and Vertigo, where they didn't have elaborate visuals to worry about, and the static setlists remained. They either don't want to do the rehearsing necessary, or they can't do it as musicians. The visual excuse is just that... an excuse. And I'm fine with that... I've accepted that it is who they are, and I'll take the static set lists as long as I get a giant multimedia clust'o'fuck'o'rama. |

This set list and spontaneity talk reminded me of an interview I read earlier this summer with Mike Campbell. It gives some interesting perspectives from the musician's point of view regarding those two things, including rehearsing "deep cuts", so to speak.

I don't mind the static set lists but I do like when they throw in songs that haven't been playeduch like Zooropa or TUF. I wish they would get over the hate for pop and play some of the songs like Mofo. But I don't think they will ever include songs from pop on a regular basis.

On each of these tours they played some combination of 60 songs. That's a pretty shifting set list. |
