  1. Wow, that's pretty perfect. Streets needs to open the encore and get it's dignity back, and I really like your ideas with the b-stage rotation
  2. We need these acoustic songs!:


  3. I'm sorry but we do not need Wild Honey.
  4. Absolutely not.

    Although it would be nice to hear it instead of Stuck, since they seem to be determined to play boring ALTCLB songs
  5. Alex help me!
  6. Hahaha that's cheating

    Now seriously, I'd like Wild Honey if only for the setlist rarity sake, but it's nothing special for me and many other fans. I'd take When I Look At The World, Peace On Earth, Kite or The Ground over it any day.
  7. Wild Honey and The Ground Beneath Her Feet were practically MADE to be performed on the e-stage. Wild Honey has a very simple feel that brings out a lot of energy. The Ground Beneath Her Feet has such a heavy sound, but also brings out some of the best Bono/Edge harmonies I've ever heard. Some other acoustic greats from the Elevation Tour include Please, Staring At The Sun, and In God's Country (if they decide to not keep it full band, but please keep it full band). I think these songs would fit into that "3rd" e-stage slot that AIWIY occasionally takes. I probably wouldn't pair it with another semi-acoustic/piano song, since two acoustics into EBW piano is a long segment for some to digest. They could always solve this problem by at least bringing the other band members for the second half of the song.

    When I Look At The World, Peace On Earth, and Kite would also be amazing additions. I like When I Look At The World, but I'm not totally sure where they would place it, maybe before WOWY. Kite would also work great there too. Peace On Earth would work best as a lead-in as it was for Walk On. I'd actually like to hear it lead into Streets.


    I still have some hope for these rarities in Europe. Hopefully they will remember Slane Castle and realize how great things were then!

    Yes, that's basically what we've been asking for. Just one or two rarities a la Ultraviolet thrown into the setlist every now and then would make it a hard to beat setlist


    It's very simple and they wouldn't even need to rehearse much. As it's been pointed, the first half is almost perfect., but the second half and the encore need some work.

  9. I don't care, there's so many more songs that could fit the e-stage better than Wild Honey.
  10. To be honest, Wild Honey and The Ground Beneath Her Feet are way more plausible than pretty much everything else listed here.
  11. Wild Honey. Not sure about that
