Originally posted by yeah:Compared to the last tours, Pride sounds surprisingly fresh. SBS quite energetic (shame that they decided to add a snippet regularly, though). One has a better spot midset and if they get rid of that Christmas backing track, it has the potential to come back to life. Beautiful Day gets the crowd awake after they slept in during Magnificent, Walk on is a nice little tune that doesn't do harm. - shame that it doesn't lift off.
So, WOWY or Streets? WOWY is painful to listen to - but I still hope to see Bono breaking his nose while he's playing with that idiotic mic. Also love the crowd singing the oh's and the lights.
So it's up to Streets. Has lost it's magic anyway and bores me. I wouldn't miss it.
Originally posted by Johnny99:I voted for Sunday Bloody Sunday - not bad, but firstly Vertigo's version was far better, secondly I'd rather have BULLET THE BLUE SKY instead !! Where did Bullet go ? Never could I imagine U2 tour without Bullet..
Of course, Pride is quite crap on this tour ( again, VT version rocks ), but come on - the greatest song in rock history ever, you can't just DROP something like that. WOWY is torelable.

Originally posted by Johnny99:But there was a fine thing with Bullet that every tour had it's own arrangement, every time something different. Not like Pride or SBS - always the same. If you didn't like one version ( I enjoyed VT's Bullet very much myself ), you could always wait for another. I couldn't wait for 360 Tour's Bullet - how different it would be, what will they change, would it be even heavier then Elevation's, or maybe totally reinvented like Popmart's ? And now the tour finally came, and there is.. nothing. Sad. I'm still hopning Bullet will return in USA - there is no possibility of U2 not playing Bullet in America.
