I read this and am really hoping there are some pretty significant changes this first few weeks. This set is so disappointing especially seeing the pre-recorded hm tm km km.

I honestly feel nothing about the lack of Streets. I’m cool with it getting a rest. But I’d definitely prefer that SBS and Pride take a break, and Streets stayed.

Also, while we’re talking about Greatest Hits, why is NYD is the “take it or leave it” pile? That is probably the U2 song I hear the most on classic rock radio. In the US, anyway, it’s probably one of their most popular songs.

'For you hardcores out there we've brought back some RAR-IT-IES! Ok Edge, crank it up'

*All Because Of You squeals into life*

20,000 heads bow down in disappointment.

I'm quite happy to see All Because Of You back.

Are there enough bathrooms @ The Tulsa arena to handle the rush?

me too, and I thought it would've been perfect for the e-stage a few years ago. I'm a-ok with it being on board.

I'm not sure how I feel about the setlist. I'll be in St. Louis on Friday, so I'll get to see one of these early shows before it comes back to the east coast. you'd think they have to play some Joshua Tree songs in STL given the show was canceled last summer.

In any event, I think if they just added Streets after 13, I'd be pretty happy.

Absent that, the encore is a bit rough. Love is Bigger is the weakest song on the album to me. I do really like 13, but not sure about it closing the show. It is odd to me that they'd have 13 close after being hell bent on having a classic close the shows 3 years ago.

I'd rather All Because of You than The Blackout.

Welp, sorry everyone.

It'll be interesting to see/hear All Because of You again. The song suffered from some terrible production on HTDAAB, but I really enjoyed the live version on the Vertigo Tour. It had a good, raw energy and it was nice seeing Bono beat the shit out of a tambourine.

WAIT....What?
Please tell me they're not doing the "Intermission" thing like they did with The Fly on the innocence tour? HMTMKMKM is an absolute monster live.

Same.

So that seems to be the set - hoping for some nice, uninterrupted streaming tomorrow.

Seems like it could flow fairly well too with "Someone like me," and a melancholy Bono going into the red screens/organ. but what do I know?

this was the only time heartland appeared in a live performance:

Wish they'd played the whole song.

ascender_RS · 05-01-2018, 10:27 AM

Pride and SBS are still in there? Those songs, quickly followed by One really, really need swapped out and rested for a tour or two.

kabigon · 05-01-2018, 10:27 AM

They'll play it at the next JT Melbourne show

nitebusnitebus · 05-01-2018, 10:55 AM

you guys still dragging out this "being outraged over Streets' absence" thing is crazy to me. I agree that SBS/Pride/One should get a rest first, but come on. not playing any JT songs is a bold move which I think is pretty brilliant. it'd only be more brilliant if the songs they were playing instead were worth a shit

what comes after the e-stage segment might be one of their worst setlists ever. the encore being particularly dire.

All Because of You is actually one of the better parts of this setlist, I agree with some comments up thread. fits the tour narrative too well, something Elevation, Vertigo, and BD have nothing for. the potential prerecorded HMTMKMKM would absolutely be a new low, between that and The Fly, those are two massive live songs that need to be on the stage almost every night

Depending on a host of other factors (so it may or may not work out), we are going to try to go Facebook live from the Interference Facebook page tomorrow night. Not sure for how long or with what quality, but we are going to try.

Wow great find, thanks for sharing.... Could you imagine if they ever did play Heartland? I'd be one happy camper!

prbiker15 · 05-01-2018, 02:07 PM

A little surprised there hasn't been a "1 day to go" video - they're usually posted at around this time.
