TUF is back!
It's about time, isn't it?
Also, it looks like they're rehearsing a segue from Sometimes into Bad, which makes me think they'll both be setlist fixtures. But we'll see.

Not really. COBL wasn't for a 'special' ocasion, it has nothing to do with Sometimes and MS. It's a great live song and it was a hit, ofcourse they put it on the next tour. Same with Beautiful Day, or Elevation per se. You may not agree with it, but they were hits and will be played for a while.
Sometimes wasn't quite a hit. It was a personal song for Bono's father. Worked great on the Vertigo Tour, but now it's going to lose its touch.
OH and IMO, MS > Sometimes.

Wow. That discotheque from Las Vegas is atrocious. I forgot how god-awful bad they were at the start of popmart. whenever i listened to that bootleg, i would never make it all the way through. that show really is an embarrassment.

I am really liking the variety of songs they are pulling.
I really really hope they do not play I Still Haven't Found What I am Looking for or Sunday Bloody Sunday. Those songs had their time and were played so much... Same with Where the Streets Have No Name.
If they are pulling old songs for some of the old fans, I hope they utilize reverse psychology on themselves and figure that if there are so many old fans, they have been to many shows and tours and have seen these songs played over and over and over and...
I am very excited by the inclusion of Ultraviolet, The Unforgettable Fire, and Even Better Than The Real Thing.
I hope they pull out A Sort of Homecoming and One Tree Hill. Man - they have a lot to choose from. Seconds would be great, and as great a song as Drowning Man is, I am not sure how it will translate. Seems like too slow a song.
Would love to see more Joshua Tree B-side stuff and Achtung-era.
If If God Will Send His Angels is played, I think it will be a beautiful moment, albeit a bit slow.
Can't they just pull a Bruce and axe the opening bands and play for three hours???

As soon as I saw the post right above this one, that was my first thought too.

I want to believe that the Unforgettable Fire will make it in the set now. 
It sure has been rehearsed a lot.

I feel the exact opposite way about them. Sometimes is awfully boring, while Miss Sarajevo is beautiful.

you totally missed the point of the MS comparison. the comment was Sometimes was written about Bono's dad's death- so now its no longer relevant. If thats the case, the MS is no longer relevant, as is COBL (written about NYC after 911), and is many, many u2 songs. I think that is ridiculous rationale.
Just because it was a showcase for Bono's dad doesn't mean it can't be played anymore. Just like U2 made Bullet a showcase about gun control on elevation, doesn't mean it can't be played again in some other context.
Oh, and Sometimes was a bigger hit than COBL was (and elevation for that matter), and it won the grammy for record of the year- it certainly doesn't have to be a special occasion for it to be played. So if that is your argument on why one should be played and the other not- you have it backwards.
Miss Sarajevo was the highlight of the last tour for me, but to be honest, most of the other people in the crowd just didn't seem to appreciate it. Can't blame U2 for dropping it.
Sadly, that probably kills any chance of Your Blue Room ever showing up too.

well you could hear the air go out of the place when the started miss sarajevo. so many people would start talking so loudly it was hard to hear the song. the shows i was at, MS was by far the low point as far as crowd interest.
bono would get a rise out of the crowd with the opera part, but other than that it was crickets.

Kite is so much better than SYCMIOYO. More subtle, more haunting, better lyrically and musically.

I like this a lot better. Please keep vertigo and crazy out of the encore. so what is the encore now?
OMG if they do a snippet of strangers in the night into COBL i think that would sound really cool, there is a version of WOWY from the last tour with the same snippet in and to me it sounded very haunting and i have no idea why.

i agree Kite should be played. Its one of my top 15 u2 songs. I would much rather Kite be played than sometimes, but i can also think of a whole lot of songs I prefer sometimes to in the their catalog.

Vertigo would be alright, I just hated the thought of vertigo-crazy-MOS as they were rehearsing. Those two don't go with MOS at all to me. That just seemed like an awful combo, and a bad last encore.

missing a few songs.... WOWY, MOS.... I'm surprised they have to rehearse Pride so many times after 2'000 live performances since 84.... is it hard to play or what?
I would imagine its more to do with rehearsing lighting and video.

Ahem, what has happened with "Drowning Man"?
It was done near the start of the set.
