Huh. I didn’t realize they played Elevation on the screen stage. Just watched it on YouTube. I’m surprised they didn’t play more on that platform. Would be perfect for The Showman.
Totally.

What is the encore music, "Women of the World?" Is it another musician's song or is it an original for this tour?
It's Jim O'Rourke's cover of a song by Ivor Cutler.
And I think the limitation in variation has something to do with the fact that U2 have structured this 2nd half of SOI/SOE to fit a certain narrative (even if we don't see or feel it). So mixing in all kinds of different songs on a nightly basis wouldn't work so much.
Bono coming out alone for Love Is All We Have Left is diluting the impact of the band's entrance for The Blackout, right? I'm not sure the 1-2 punch is as effective as The Blackout alone would have been.
The dumb augmented reality phone app gimmick that forces Bono to remain near motionless in one spot is another story, however. It was kind of funny watching people around me futzing with their phones trying to get it to work right.
That's because nobody's been protecting the house.between this whole line thing and interactions with some (crazy) u2 fans on twitter lately, I can safely say that it is really easy to see why U2 fans get such a terrible rep.
that's all i have to say these days.
Needs little people for scale...
