    Yes the songs they played so far on this residency are awesome! The only think I don't really like is the order of the songs played. But still an amazing show!


    What is it about the order you don't like?
  4. Wasted it on Vertigo... oh well
  5. What a show tonight. Last night was amazing because of the surprises but performance wise tonight was even better. When Love Comes to Town is killer. Even Love Rescue Me was much more polished tonight than Wednesday/videos from past shows. Amazing
  6. What's the deal with the encore? Did u2gigs fall asleep before the end or did something go wrong?
  7. They are ready for the 3 week break too.

    (Normal closing encore)
  8. I would prefer it if they would stretch AB over the whole show. Here is how I would make the setlist with the songs played last night:

    1. Zoo Station
    2. The Fly
    3. Even Better Than The Real Thing
    4. Mysterious Ways
    5. One
    6. Until The End Of The World
    7. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
    8. Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World
    9. Desire
    10. When Love Comes To Town
    11. Love Rescue Me
    12. Vertigo
    13. Acrobat
    14. So Cruel
    15. All I Want Is You
    16. Where The Streets Have No Name

    17. Elevation
    18. Atomic City
    19. Beautiful Day
    20. Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
    21. With Or Without You
    22. Love Is Blindness

    I totally agree with this order - I actually think Stay would fit the themes of “side B” of AB perfectly instead of Love Rescue Me then into So Cruel, Acrobat, then Zooropa into Streets like I+E would be an unbelievable way to end the main set. However having seen this week’s shows and getting a sense of the audience I think they’re making the right call ending the show on Vertigo > Streets > WOWY > BD. UV in the encore and Love is Blindness with the bugs on the ceiling would be beautiful but 75% of the crowd would be disappointed


  11. Funny you say that. In my setlist LiB closes the show with the bugs visual. It fits far better than Beautiful Day does imo.

    1. Zoo Station (same visuals)
    2. The Fly (same visuals)
    3. Even Better Than The Real Thing (same visuals)
    4. Mysterious Ways (same visuals)
    5. One (same visuals)
    6. Until The End Of The World (same visuals)
    7. New Years Day (new screen visuals)
    8. Pride (full band) (new screen visuals)
    9. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (full band)(old footage of filming the Vegas music video)
    10. Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World (same visuals but get rid of the on stage balloon rope)
    11. So Cruel (no visuals)
    12. Acrobat (MacPhisto speech on screen)
    13. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (same visuals)
    14. City of Blinding Lights (new full screen visuals)
    15. Where The Streets Have No Name (screen goes red instead of current visuals)

    16. Elevation (same visuals)
    17. Vertigo (starts straight after Elevation like 2018 and no pause after Elevation finishes)
    18. Atomic City (same visuals)
    19. Beautiful Day (new visuals - similar to JT tour?)
    20. Ultra Violet (same visuals)
    21. With or Without You (same visuals)
    22. Love is Blindness (bug visuals)
  12. I think bringing back the constellations would be ideal for Love Is Blindness, if it's actually closing out the show. To me, the bugs serve as more of a transition than a finale.
