360 was great. I felt they actually underused the claw. It really only came to life in the City of Blinding Lights / Crazy Tonight part of the show. Sadly, we got the shittest sets of the tour, the middle, when they'd ditched No Line, weren't yet doing AB/Zooropa/Passengers but were playing crap unreleased songs. North Star is the lowest point in any U2 show I've seen.
You're right, but it's just so frustrating that they make those pandering songs at all. It effectively renders the deeper cuts immediately irrelevant because you just know they're going to get like three live plays at most and then forgotten about. I mean before Experience came out Little Things was pretty big, at least amongst U2 fans, but the second Experience came out it was relegated to an afterthought, because all the focus was on those three fucking horrendous songs which they played live at every show. A track like Landlady, I think is quite solid, perhaps the best on the album, but it's irrelevant the second the album is released because all their focus is on the truly atrocious singles. It'd be different in a previous era, where they are more comfortable promoting songs beyond the obvious singles, but they don't do that anymore.
I'd be so open to their new show featuring like Landlady, Little Things, Love is Bigger, The Troubles, Red Flag Day, Sleep Like a Baby, but Love is Bigger is the only one they'll play and instead we're pretty much guaranteed to have to sit through 20+ minutes of shit like Song Saved My Life, Ordinary Love, Get Out, Best Thing, etc.
