    well, those are songs. would be silly not to play those in europe, ever, just because america is the theme of the song. the part where bono yells "I'm an american, don't shoot" refers to current problems in america, however. I'm not saying they don't affect europe/europeans, but not as directly as americans, so I'd welcome it if they changed that accordingly. I won't leave the arena if they do it anyways oh well.
  2. How to fix the second half:

    16. October / New Years Day
    17. Every Breaking Wave (Full band)
    18. Bullet The Blue Sky
    19. Running To Stand Still
    20. Where The Streets Have No Name

    21. The Fly (with remix intro)
    22. Discothèque
    23. With Or Without You
    24. Moment of Surrender

    What? I can dream too.

    Edit: A small mistake was bugging me
  3. Originally posted by Ross1441:I kind of like your list there. Nothing too crazy optimistic, but interesting nonetheless. It moves Streets into a much better position with far nicer surroundings (I'm not honestly expecting them to do it, since it means repeating Zoo TV, but we can dream). I don't want to speculate too much on new songs we might hear, just because it's all so up in the air, but I'm not sure we'll hear Running to Stand Still, and I can't see them dropping The Real Thing.

    I hope they fix the encore. The show feels anti-climactic and deflated towards the end. You need something with a bit of excitement, class, and rarity to make it special, and Beautiful Day simply doesn't cut it. Even it's biggest supporters will surely agree with that.


    I agree. The end is definitely on the anti-climactic side. Especially with the closer. Of course, 40 always works, but for me so far, aside from closing with One has been the best choice, but still not feeling it. ISHFWILF definitely does not do it as a show closer...

    Next to 40, I agree with you... Moment of Surrender is a set closing song. Yes, yes... I know it was used for 360, but so what? 40 was used forever, and should have never been retired...
