COBL is a liked song in the UK. I no a lot of haters who say that song is decent.

Galeongirl · 06-25-2011, 07:00 AM

COBL is the only song that I actually missed in the setlist. I totally expected that to be played.

JJAsi · 06-25-2011, 07:00 AM

Yes but they have a long haul back to states, I think they did the best they could with time they had, if no gig on sunday, think they would´ve been on for 2½ hours or so

but aint complaining, am still pumped and main subject here is the astronaut part still

Boots got a better reaction than i thought, maybe it will leave the people who where there wanting more?

Compared to Elevation and Vertigo, it got a much weaker response.

Overall I thought it was excellent, clearly they felt under pressure which showed with the nerves (apart from Larry & Adam obviously who just seem to float through everything effortlessly). It was nice to see such passion & intensity from Bono - seemed to very emotional especially in SBS & Bad.
Bit of a shame they couldn't play any longer but given the timeslot I think they got the setlist about right, although I do think it was more of a mini 360 set (apart from the visuals) than what it would have been last year - not that that's a bad thing. I think they felt that they had to play MOS to show that they actually still make some pretty damn good music.
Bit of a shame it was so wet - Bono said in the interview after that it was like an ice-rink. If it was dry maybe we woulda seen more movement, getting closer to the crowd etc.

Awesome crowd though - the huge majority of the crowd & the massive quality of the songs speak way louder than a bunch of the mindless hating assholes.

Elevation is a crowd goer though to be honest

its always gonna get a good reaction. Could play it to an audience of pensioners and they would go crazy. haha
