There were, however, shows at which it was possible to see more TUF than any other album except the one being toured- that's not something that can be said for any other tour since the 80s.
Wouldn't it have been nice if they had made more adventurous selections from TUC, such as Wire, ASOH, Indian Summer Sky and Promenade, instead of the boring predictable choices.

Regardless, TUF was probably about as adventurous as ASOH- they were both last played on the Lovetown Tour, IIRC.

Yup- and only two from ATYCLB, which also took over the tour around midpoint.

The original post seemed to suggest some kind of plan to reintroduce Pop material to audiences. I'm just saying that so far, the band seems to be largely disinclined to do that. I don't get the sense that Bono is coming up with setlists going, "but we really NEED to get more Pop material in there. Come on, Edge, Please? Please, Please? Or maybe Miami??? Aww..."We are talking about a band that resurrected TWO songs from October in the last decade.
At this point, there's no need to "reintroduce" it to audiences if the band themselves weren't happy with it.

Pop will make a comeback. It just didn't fit with the political nature of the stage/setlist of Vertigo tour and 360 had NLOTH/new songs before it turned into a Zoo TV 2.0 show.
