Until I heard SUC, MD was my least favourite u2 song, hope it doesn't get played.
Thoughts after watching opening night?

Have we already discussed how odd it was that Invisible and Real Thing were played in the screen-prison? Those are some songs where the band does not need barriers.
Save the screen-prison for the Zooropa and Your Blue Room performances.
Is the screen a prison or a projector though? Ooooh...ponder that one!

Glad to hear this, always hard to really tell how it works out when you aren't there.

I love the last minute of Miracle Dug, the rest is pretty dull.

In all fairness we have no clue what they've ditched and what they haven't. It was one show on opening night on a tour where they originally stated they wanted to switch things up from night to night. They rehearsed too many songs for us to be thinking they've ditched songs already. Let's all wait and see how tonight plays out. Even then it's still too early to tell but at least we might get a small idea as to what extent, if any, they're going to change the set from show to show.

This thread has kinda gone the route of those who watched it on a computer and think they know vs those who were there and actually know.

I think the best screen moment, for now, is Cedarwood Road.
Same.
From the setlist thread...Here is one of my videos, synced to better audio...

Uh, Miracle Drug has been ditched because it wasn't played at the first show? You guys...

Speaking of prison. I thought Bono was going to chain that poor kid to the post during BD.
There was the ISIS offering (for Acrobat) we talked about in 'What would make you walk out of U2 concert?' thread

haha that kid is my buddy's son. Bono told him "you stay right here, I'm not done with you yet. I remember you"

Looks like One has also been ditched. Acrobat too.

Was Acrobat ever really in play? I didn't follow rehearsals so this is an honest question.

Is anyone else really blood excited to do yesterday all over again tonight? I'm counting down the hours. I feel like we were all watching the show together, what a thrill. Really hope we get a Periscope feed again.

I'm sitting here anxious as hell to just get on with it. Last night was incredible to be there and tonight I'm excited to see what, if anything, changes.

Please. Don't encourage them. It's been their worst live song for ages, let it rest.
Bring it back for the first time in ten years when they're on their final tour and it makes sense to give such an important track a final showcase (hell, maybe even as the nightly closer so Bono can really belt out whatever's left in the tank after two hours). But for now, for the love of God, let's let it go.

Around 42 were verified during the Vancouver rehearsals. However, it's quite likely that they could have rehearsed some more before arriving in Vancouver.
Not to mention that they can do plenty of acoustic rehearsals at home or without needing to be amped up and heard outside an arena.

Well... from what I saw on youtube:
The screens may be sometimes double edged sword for them. When they are pulled down, the band looks a bit trapped in the cage. It´s weird.
I´ve never seen Bono so cautious and passive. Dunno if it is age, Larry´s dad funeral, his injury, but he looked like with no energy. This is very weird for Bono.
Sunday didn´t worked for me in that rendition.
Single for No One wasn´t bad, but with piano it would be much better
Bullet was solid
End Of the World kicked ass
Miracle was terrible. it sounded like a random garage band that just started out, the song is just weak and the live show prooves it
Streets was ruined thanks to the inserted song in the beginning, that didn´t fit at all
Real Thing remix is awesome, but it lacked some energy
Iris with MOFO was a highlight
Wowy didn´t surprise, done in autopilote mode
You will not believe me, but Sweetest Thing was adorable. Great drum work by Larry.
Adam and especially Larry sounded great for the whole show.
But where the heck are Volcano, California, Soldier !!!???

Unfortunately fans feel they can base a review on a show by videos on YouTube,

It shouldn't be surprising at this point. One of the Internet and social media's biggest drawbacks.
Or by a setlist. The first four were great and Bono was on fire.

I can see that the cellphones were out in full force last night. Anyone at the show encounter any assholes with the selfie sticks in the GA area?

the Canadian crowd looked like from ice. For example during Out Of Control, they were just starring except twenty fans in front of the stage jumping.
I saw one person with a selfie stick on their phone but they weren't bad. I saw lots of people face away from the stage and get selfies when the members were close. Yea, lets turn our backs on the band when they walk close to you...
Again, totally wrong. I have footage of the crowd going more bonkers than most during OOT. Stick to your bad analysis of the setlists, and not the shows.

show us...
BTW it is not analysis of a setlist
I didn´t comment on the setlist during the concert as it was underway like many people here did. I waited for a sound and video before writing a few impressions
Why? I was there, you were not. I have nothing to prove and don't have to show you anything. Believe what you want, and hopefully any tickets won't be wasted on you and your sourpuss ways.
