In an earlier interview when the tour just started, Adam mentioned that they needed to give the Joshua Tree Tour songs a rest and their mood of the moment was Boy. Now, they have changed their setlist dramatically, getting rid of the Boy songs (Electric Co, An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart) and have added Joshua Tree songs into the mix (WOWY, Still Haven't Found). Thrown in ocassional acoustic versions of The First Time (it's in the best of 1990-2000) or the full band All I Want Is You or even the new nightly staple of Miss Sarajevo (Best of 1990-2000) -- and subtract non-singles like Miracle Drug, Yahweh, and Running To Stand Stilll -- then you got yourself a recipe for a Greatest Hits Tour. And you thought they'd never want themselves to be a nostalgia act. But perhaps its because they are playing in regions that they hardly play on, hence the need to showcase their greatest hits. If only I could read what was in U2's mind....
