Since seeing the STL show Friday night, I keep thinking of ways the band could make some better cohesion coming out of the ‘Hold me thrill me’ video. I think the narrative of the band falling from grace and ‘to be continued’ as the screen says that a run of Vertigo>The Fly>Desire would be a great energetic transition into the snarky Macphisto then try American Soul >Acrobat>Wild Horses. Save Elevation for early or later

I say American soul after Desire cus I think they’d sound great back-to-back plus thematically Desire introduces the hypocrisies that American Soul hits on. I just don’t like AS buddied up with ‘Get out of your own way’. I understand the whole Kendrick Lamar thing but GOOYOW feels like it would do well early in the Beautiful Day spot. Just an opinion

I have a feeling Edge will want to keep Acrobat in the set, because that's when he fucking shines. :drool:

The streams all crashed right before Acrobat, but they came back just in time! :up:
And now I'm going to bed. This really is an awesome show. I missed most of the visuals in Tulsa because I was too close to see the screen (that's a First World Problem! :lol: ) so I really enjoyed seeing the streams tonight from people farther away. It's amazing!

I reeeeeally wish they weren't doing Best Thing acoustic again.

It's pretty obvious they can't play the way the really want to. The performance on Fallon was a bit of a mess and of course the BBC thing ended up being acoustic.

I reckon they need to shift the set list around a bit. Play Desire, play SATS then bring in Please which can transition into Acrobat with a bit of Macphisto. Maybe shift The Best Thing up after Vertigo? It just doesn't work where it is now.
