As much as I couldn’t care less they are not NOT going to play YTBTAM. I think that they just missed a bit out as Bono was off to Dallas.
Re: the six song section replay of i&e is really disappointing - I’d say with the sluggish sales of this tour (in the US anyway - Europe has sold well) that your audience is pretty heavy on hardcore fans and light on casuals (especially with the ticket prices and disaster of a marketing campaign) so quite why they think it’s a good idea to repeat a whole section is beyond me. How is Iris SFS RBW etc. In anyway comparable to seeing Horses and Acrobat? Also why Elevation et al.? Fans have seen these songs a fair few times and let’s be honest they’re not show stoppers.
Presuming they don’t do Horses and Scrobat that leaves the Ocean and SATS as rarities - now I love SATS but I don’t think either are in any fans top 5 or even top 10 rarities that they’d like to hear.
In terms of new songs I’m surprised no RFD and Little Things... surely these could replace some of the Innocence songs or the noughties war horses. Also i know Bono sprite the Showman for us (I wish he hadn’t) but if that’s in and Little Things/RFD is out that really makes no sense.
So far so disappointing.... looks like another case of them second guessing themselves again. Still 12 days to go - let’s hope that they mix things up a bit.
For the record I’d be inteeested to see them do (based on not going anything pre JT)
Please - feels like it could replace Bullet as the political piece (looks like Desire is doing the job so far) - electric though - not acoustic
Gone - though I always preferred the album version I don’t no if they quite ever nailed it live
The Wanderer - that version they did for the Johnny Cash thing on the Vertigo tour was excellent
Stay - still brilliant
Acrobat - we’ll obviously
Wild Horses - again a bit like Gone I get the impression they never quite ‘got it’ live but I did see it at Twickenham in the Vertigo tour and it was a real surprise - not sure it quite worked in that scenario as that was a stadium show with id guess a lot of casuals.
