I'm really sad that most of U2's career occurred at a time when I wasn't alive.

Same here. My first show wasn't until 360° as well.I'm really sad that most of U2's career occurred at a time when I wasn't alive.
Odds are NYC 8 will have something unusual in the encore... but it could just be Vertigo x2.
Yea maybe. You would certainly hope so.
When all's said and done I'll probably get tickets for nyc 8 just because I'll be too tempted not to. But I really hope they rotate those set lists this time around and just surprise us with songs on a nightly basis.
I'm not expecting it, but damn it that would be great.
8 nights should mean a lot of different songs, but the problem is they didn't sell it as a residency OR as shows "A & B" - they just sold it as 8 concerts.

Exactly, they're haven't really committed to anything just said they wanted to try shaking it up from night 1 to 2. I guess not explicitly selling it as A+B gigs was lucky for them with Bono's accident.
For all we know, before that they may have actually MEANT it and planned an intense rehearsal schedule over a months to have a stack of songs actually playable and ready to play whenever they liked. Guess we won't find out til the first handful of gigs are out the way.
Perhaps they considered it when booking the tour, though? Put on 6-8 gigs in one city, meaning no constant travelling and lots of time to just rehearse with the gear/stage just sat in the arena between shows?
I really wonder if Bono's inability to remember lyrics actually has something to do with why they never try
He has a teleprompter, just use it.
THat doesn't work for Bono, unfortunately.
May I remind you of my favourite trainwreck of a performance? Yes, he IS using a teleprompter here. Imagine what it could have been without one.

That would be genius actually.Picture it... Bono branded Google Glass complete with built in teleprompter, so he can prance all over the stage and sing any song they want!
No need to remind me, I was there (and it was my birthday to boot).

When Axver mentioned Vertigox2 I just gagged and threw up in my mouth. I thought I had permanently forgotten about that.
