Chicago #2 Setlist Party

[superchuk5]

The opening is spooky. Didn’t use AR when I was there, so don’t know how it plays with it on.

Very fun live song. The pseudo-War sound fits well with IWF and Gloria.

I still don't like that they have to rotate RFD, Gloria and ABOY - take out Beautiful Day and play all 3.

Or play all three before Beautiful Day.

Well I’m off to see Paul Simon at the Hollywood Bowl. Enjoy the rest of the show!

Just appreciate that they have, to this point, allowed many other warhorses a rest. It’s not really that big a deal.

Rotating Gloria and Red Flag Day is just rude, especially when they previously were willing to play them together.

I mean I can agree that they play some new album crap instead of Red Flag Day. I’m just not sure why Beautiful Day is the supposed target that’s taking up Red Flag Day’s spot.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Smacks of them wanting to penny pinch and making the show as short as possible. Can't see any other reason.

They’ve been coming on at ~8:30 and playing 23-25 songs for... how long?

Agreed, I'm just blabbering.

...But I still think they dropped the wrong warhorses.

In isolation, that is a fair point. However when the earlier shows on this tour were 2-3 songs longer, the more recent shorter set list is pretty hard to fathom.

 

[Pop Artist]

Rotating Gloria and Red Flag Day is just rude, especially when they previously were willing to play them together.

I don't see why Gloria can't rotate with I Will Follow and why IWF HAS to be every night. Bono can still do a throwback intro with Gloria like he does with IWF. Then we still get Gloria half the time and Red Flag Day most/all the time.

Unless I'm crazy, which I am, I don't recall them not playing Beautiful Day or Vertigo at concerts since they were released of course. I feel both those songs have been played 99.9% of the time at any U2 show. Is that wrong?

I feel they believe BD and Vertigo are the songs that introduced new fans... and they aren't wrong.

The last songs that ever did that.
