But you can say this about previous tours too... besides the new songs there are almost all others singles...
Would you complain if they played Please, Discotheque, Lemon, Two Hearts, 11 O Clock, The Fly, etc. - all singles too?

Please? Yes.
Discotheque? Maybe.
Lemon? Absolutely.
Two Hearts? No.
11 O'Clock Tick Tock? No.
The Fly? No.
And you can't really say this about other tours because new songs are nowhere near the popularity of anything on The Joshua Tree. They're taking a 30-year old classic on the road, not a 6-month old album.

Just a tought. It seems the band is strugling to find a good closer. So why not chosing the easy way to close the show with 40. The best shows of the soi tour are the ones with bad and 40 at the end. Most of the songs around The Joshua Tree are also chosen for the public.

The Joshua Tree is only so popular though because of the strength of 3 particular singles which got the general publics attention. There will be a lot of people who know cedarwood road more than RHMT or raised by wolves more than Trip and there will definitely be people who are more familiar with every breaking wave and song for someone than some of the album tracks from TJT. Better doesn't always mean more well known.

Yes. But people are acting like casual fans who. Light the album only listened to those three songs.
I have albums by artists that I really love but then didn't continue to follow. If they were touring that album and I went to a show, I'd know those songs.

Did you find it almost eerie when Bono took the glasses off, and put the hat on? It was almost like the lighting was playing tricks on my eyes and he totally looked like his younger self there for a bit - it was tripping me out! (In a good way).
