NYC #8 Setlist Party

[KUEFC09U2]

Bastards. Amazing how they're able to play so many songs and keep the same setlist.

They kept it interesting while keeping it static,

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Party Girl is nice. 48 unique songs during a tour is nice. Playing eighteen of the same songs every single night, and a nineteenth all but two shows is incredibly disappointing.

Those selfish bastards. Wanting to ensure that the fan who only gets one or two shows gets to hear the same songs that the "superfan" who goes to ENTIRE LEGS does. What total assholes. They're only thinking of themselves, playing the same 18 songs since of course U2 fans should be able to magically shit thousands of dollars to follow the band around each night and hear 20 different songs a night.

*heavy sarcasm*

 

[FazeCraze]

WOWY

Are you side eyeing the fuck out of WOWY?!

 

[KUEFC09U2]

And I don't give a shit I love this hawking speech

 

[prbiker15]

Anyone has a source at MSG? Are they keeping an eye on Bruce? Has he left his seat?

 

[PennyLanePHINS]

Yeah, I mean, with 8 shows in one city they aren't going to change it a ton.

Now if they do arenas again and do 4 or 5 shows next time, I could see more swaps.

 

[Axver]

Hmmmm I just wanted to give Axver his new York stat as he mentioned it earlier LOL

Haha. It sounded to me like he was channelling Sinatra so I've counted it as such.

 

[VintagePunk]

Apart from ZooTv and popmart obviously, they where ultra static regardless

I kind of assumed that as they settled in, they might get more adventurous. Apparently I'm clinging to 3rd leg Vertigo and my shows as proof of everything. I will research tomorrow.

Are you side eyeing the fuck out of WOWY?!

Yep!

 

[allaras]

Yeah because some IDIOT was all "let's get 1 MILLION hearts"

Don't they realize it fucks it up and slows it down????

I tap my hearts to the beat ofthe song

 

[Lila64]

Dan - sent you a message. I'm watching the show on me cell

*heavy sarcasm*

I know, right? How dare they organise a tour around the concept of playing multiple nights in each city in order to deliver different shows, and then completely fail to deliver on that concept?

Same could be said about Bono's speeches. Which you have bitched about a great deal.

To be totally honest I don't care with regard to setlist variation, I literally get to see one show a tour due to work commitments etc so I make the best regardless, and by the looks of it I will get to see some older songs I have never seen before....again...so that's a massive bonus.

The band are my favourite band for a reason.

 

[allaras]

i've given up on complaining about the setlist, if you want real setlist variation, this is the wrong band. Although if the show is an exact copy if they come back here for a third leg, I'll bitch

 

[Axver]

I'd say in general Vertigo's third leg was more adventurous than the first, but in terms of variation during lengthy runs (like those 5 consecutive NYC shows), they didn't go that nuts with changing up the order. I think Chicago 4 on the first leg had a more surprising altered order, as did Dublin 3 on the second leg. It had a very unusual set for the stadium leg, with the only European performances of Gloria or An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart. Gloria still hasn't been played in Europe since Lovetown, outside of that one show!

Oh, because U2 has delivered on every concept it's ever had? I suppose you're listening to Songs of Ascent instead of this show then, right?

Come on lets not get into that again, the actual tour was NOT advertised (as in tickets sold) with regard to shows being sold as pairs, it was an idea mentioned in interviews, nothing more.

Exactly. It's a completely different experience being there, vs. judging from your comfy sofa.

 

[allaras]

I saw MSG 1 and 4, so happy i got 5 different songs between the two

I've already told you this is wrong, and I can go back to the tour announcement if you need me to again.

Periscope people, we don't want to look at you the whole time, or your girlfriend.

Did they do the thank you signs yet? If not, when are they supposed to happen?

[dazzlingamy]

Hey hey. Let's not be insufferable wankers!

I'm more about the same people getting pulled up, but then I guess Bono knows what he's going to get with them, rather than an unknown feeler upper! hahahaha!

Come on Australia 2016! I got some plans in motion baby!

 

[U2Girl1978]

These stupid hearts all over the periscope feed. UGH!!!

 

[KUEFC09U2]

That's fine, but its something that has been discussed to death

 

[allaras]

Finally a thanks to the American taxpayer


Awkward singalong time!

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Anyway, everyone gets a month or so off from bitching about the band soon
