Originally posted by TheEdge10:I’ve listened to both and the new set is way better. If they had kept the Innocence section as it was it would’ve been fine, but so much of it had been stripped away that it no longer packed the same punch. In 2015 it went IWF-Iris-Cedarwood-SFS-SBS-RBW. By the end of 2018 it went Ocean (without vocals)-Iris (abbreviated)-Cedarwood-SBS (dreadful transition into)-UTEOTW.
The other thing that killed it was Bono’s talking between songs. He would fully introduce each song, leaving gaps between, whereas in 2015 he would either introduce the songs as the music started or just begin singing right away. It was a lot more seamless. The new section doesn’t have as strong of a narrative (although Bono seems to suggest that there still is a narrative present in that run), but on a performance level it works so much better.

The outro music is The Miracle of Joey Ramone.
