For tonight, at last, I am coming hard.

In all honesty that scenario sounds horribly unsexy.
Some assorted thoughts on last night:
- I found the crowd very rude in a way I haven't experienced at any other show before.
- And having lost some people I know recently to heroin overdoses, it was very poignant.
- grumble "rain" repeatedly over that outro.
- I was disappointed by the crowd at the end of Mothers of the Disappeared. The lack of people singing along to the outro again made me feel out of place.
a) Few things can bring down an otherwise good show than shitty people around you. I had one of those kinds of experiences in Vancouver in 2005, which for that reason alone makes it one of my least favorite shows I've been to.

Still deciding whether to get tickets for NY2. I feel like seeing this tour twice is sufficient given the static sets, but then there's the fear of missing out on a possible nice surprise on night 2. At the same time, what are the chances at this stage that the "surprises" are Mysterious Ways/UV and I Will Follow/Vertigo rather than ASOH?
I mean, replacing ASOH with Bad was not an affront to humanity. I love ASOH, but it was not universally received at Rose Bowl 1. The people who did, like me, went nuts, but Bad is a similar era track of similar emotion, and longer, that pulls a bigger response. Yeah, we are sick of songs like Elevation, but up tempo rockers are they way they want to exit, and a lot of people know Elevation, my least favorite song of the set for sure, but people bump to it.
I got one of those 21 song bastards in 2006.
Remember that 27-song or whatever it was Dublin 3 show in Vertigo. Damn, those were the days.
The one and only 21-song show of the 2006 legs! All the others were 22-24.
On the other hand, the first One Tree Hill in just about 17 years counts for fifty songs by itself.
I do think Bono should shut up during Edge's solo.
I'll usually only notice when I'm leaving the venue and I'm having a look at Interference/U2gigs/Twitter to pass the time in queuing.Do you guys really count the songs while you are at a show?

This is aided by the exit plan for Mt Smart Stadium being worse than George W Bush's exit plan from Iraq.

No, but I conceptually understand time and can tell the difference between a shorter show and a longer show. I do not remember how many songs they played when I saw them in 2011 but I know it was a longer show than this one. It's a really short main set on this tour. I also remember shows where I kind of felt short changed by a short setlist. Three off the top of my head are Lykke Li, Kurt Vile, and Grimes. I couldn't tell you how many songs were played then either but I know they were short shows.Do you guys really count the songs while you are at a show?
