Agreed - I hope it is played full at least once, and we get a HQ version

I've been to twelve U2 shows and I still haven't heard Out of Control or Bad live. I really hope I get to this time around
Hell yes. More of this please U2.

You'd think the whole "innocence" theme would have had them playing more early shit. A Day Without Me. Shadows and Tall Trees. The Twilight demo.

I ticked off OOC and Bad for the first (and, in OOC's case, so far only) time at my second show: U2 Boston, 2005-05-26, Fleet Center, Vertigo Tour - U2 on tour
It was probably the best U2 concert I've seen.

I was really close as well - Bad was on the written setlist for Coimbra II but for whatever reason they decided to skip it.
I did get to hear Boy Falls From the Sky though, so maybe I shouldn't complain...

You got to hear a song that wasn't played ANYWHERE else, over a song that will most likely be played again this tour? Yeah, tough luck. 
Luckily got to hear bad at my 3rd show already, then again twice in Dublin 2009, on the 2010 leg it was played at one of my shows as well. Pretty lucky.
OOC only at my 2nd to last gig in Montreal. Was pretty awesome!

More 5G Than Man
Got OOC at my 360 gig. Whole show was good vibes and high energy and that track fit in so great after EBTTRT, The Fly, Mysterious Ways and UTEOTW. What a firecracker intro the last leg had.
I've heard Out of Control live 4 times now... Elevation at MSG, Brooklyn Bridge show, Vertigo at MSG, 360 at MetLife

Running to Stand Still is the only song off the top of my head that I am absolutely clamouring to hear live. Bad was the other one, and I got that on 360.
I was also present for possibly the worst setlist the band has ever played:
Return Of The Stingray Guitar
Beautiful Day / In My Life (snippet)
I Will Follow
Get On Your Boots
Magnificent
Mysterious Ways / Rain (snippet)
Elevation
Until The End Of The World
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For / Stand By Me (snippet)
North Star
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
In A Little While
Miss Sarajevo
City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo / Thunderstruck (snippet)
I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight / Two Tribes (snippet)
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Scarlet
Walk On / You'll Never Walk Alone (snippet)
encore(s):
One
Dear Prudence (snippet) / Where The Streets Have No Name / All You Need Is Love (snippet)
Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
With Or Without You
Moment of Surrender

That is, admittedly, fucking awful. You poor soul.
i think the reason why i like Lucifer's Hands so much is because they somehow managed to make something listenable out of that clusterfuck disaster that was Return of the Stingray Guitar

I think they're still loading in at the Rogers Arena. A couple of U2gigs contacts reported that they didn't hear anything.
My guess is closed rehearsals on the 11th, dress rehearsal on the 12th, and then a rest day before the first two dates of the tour.

This really demonstrates to me that a bad setlist is more about the songs they don't play than the songs they do. And if they play anything like the setlist that's being discussed around here, I'd say it will be the weakest I've heard.
Agree with you on RTSS.

Definitely. And look there's a ton of great songs in that setlist. It's just super conservative.

It lacks Suck in a moment though, so can't be the worst.

Got that in Melbourne a few nights earlier. NYD instead of IWF that night, and Stuck was nice, and even though there's a hell of a lot of songs I'd have preferred to hear it was still about 100 times better than North Star.

U2 360º 2010 was one absolutely forgettable, from a music/Setlist perspective.
On the other hand, 2011 was awesome.
On the other hand, 2011 was awesome.
they keep promising rotating second sets, but every dress rehearsal has been exactly the same thus far, and there haven't been any reports that they're continuing to practice the other songs they've worked on.
so either they're just really working hard to ensure that opening night is perfect, or they're giving up on the rotating second set, too.
it's expected by now. i'm waiting to see exactly how adventurous they get in the second set before i finalize my tickets. already have 2 MSG shows, waiting to see if I want to add in just the last MSG show or the last MSG show and one other MSG show.
if sets are fairly static it's just the one. if they're really rotating, i'll probably be tempted to tack a 4th show on

2010 had 5 unreleased songs and HMTMKMKM. And Love Rescue Me. Sure the rest of it was pretty conservative, especially the Australian shows, but playing those unfinished songs at a stadium gig was pretty ballsy I think

I'll never forget Mercy/Bad. That was transcendent, even despite the fact they butchered a great song.
