I haven't been to a show yet, but watching the feeds Invisible while cool visually, is underwhelming. Reach would be a cool replacement for that spot.

I wonder what happened, Jimmy Fallon version on the rooftop was awesome.
Meh will wait to see it in person rather than judge it based on a video, as people there saying it's pretty good
Hits: Raised by Wolves, (big reaction, high energy) Cedarwood Road, (amazing visuals and sound) The Miracle (fun opener)
Missed: Iris, (love the song but something is missing live...boring stage/lighting set up and arrangement is lacking energy. Also Bono needs to stop trying to make the ending sing along happen) Song for Someone, (meh, lots of sitting and not a lot of sing along) Every Breaking Wave (more of a neutral for me, break for the crowd but good traction overall)
Invisible has very cool staging and sounds great, but not many people seem to know it and it is slotted in a weird place in the set.
From LA 3 and 4. They play too many new ones in a row and it really brings down the energy.
Actually, a common theme of people who've been to shows so far is that Invisible is underwhelming and the crowd don't react to it very much.
Or do you just assume that anybody with a criticism hasn't been to a show yet?
They need to kill the whole idea of all 4 playing inside the screen as a ban, or do 1 song tops, where its obvious that they are playing in there. The general crowd doesn't know what is going on when Invisible starts. I heard multiple people say, "where is the band?" on both nights in Phoenix.
The Miracle is good but shouldn't be the opener, but rather second as a way to really get the crowd into it.
Is this from the GA perspective or just in general? I can definitely see how it might be a bit of a disadvantage during songs like Invisible and EBTTRT from down on the floor, but I personally thought they looked pretty good from the seats. Invisible's only 'problem' per se is that it's a song that many might not be familiar with, even though I felt the effects for it worked for what it was worth.
First night i was GA, 2nd night about 20 rows back, and heard this where is the band question both nights. Didn't really see a difference in reaction.
If they are going to do a song in the screen, the Fly would be the perfect song, with visuals from zooTv, or even a segment of zoo station and the fly opening from zootv.
I think EBTTRT is cemented as the "exit the screen" song but you could easily do that with Discotheque too I think, start the song inside and move out as it kicks in, and then the disco balls kick on as soon as the "you get confused" part kicks on
those three and Zooropa!
I wouldn't hate them if they did Zooropa/The Fly/Invisible/EBTTRT/Mysterious Ways and then swapped it the next night with Zoo Station/The Fly/Invisible/Discotheque/Crystal Ballroom, just so we don't overload one night with Achtung and the other not

Discotheque would be perfect.
Too good and too anti dadrock to be played, I´m afraid
