War Child
Who out there agrees that there are SEVERAL other songs from NLOTh that could be used as better openers than Breathe?
Breathe is my favorite song on the new album by far, but it does not belong in spot #1! U2's best shows are about a dramatic build at the beginning (JT Tour, Zoo TV, Popmart, Vertigo tour) and Breathe does not provide that type of build.
I would feel much better seeing Breathe in the #2 or #3 spot than up front.
Now, all that said, I think the song ROCKS live...
