What a speedy show. Wish they'd cram in another 1-2 more songs.

Well, it looks like they still want to hold on to that lead single for a few more days. Off to Buffalo...

Shake it up U2 style. Drop a song. Sadly has been done before, both this tour and ones past. Old habits die hard.

Wow. I expected to hear at least a mixed setlist but I guess they are still in vacation mode. it would have been great if some R&H songs were played like heartland.
No, 21 songs has been disappointingly standard.
To be honest I'd prefer Mysterious Ways than Miss Sarajevo.

Don't think so, my show was 1 hour and 58 minutes. This one was 2 or 3 minutes over 2 hours. And 21 songs was quite common in the 1st leg.

Is there still no news about the video release of this tour?

This is what I figured would happen. I suppose they're waiting until the song is out, but WTF? What kind of message does it send to release a new single (Blackout), announce a new album is coming soon, announce a 2nd single is coming next week, and then play NOTHING FROM THE NEW ALBUM AT A CONCERT IN FRONT OF 50,000+ FANS?!?! Ah U2... they like to leave me scratching my head.

Good point, that left me scratching my head too.
But I'm still a bit disappointed, because they still would have played little things, or at least something.AndrewCowley

I believe the standard excuse for this tour is to cite the JT 'deep cuts' and how that mitigates everything else.

They might want to wait until they're warmed up some more. Bono wasn't his best honestly. Or they're waiting until the sixth.
I really doubt there will be one.

Yeah a tour they'd rather forget about I suppose.

Fingers crossed for Best Thing in Buffalo on the eve of the release since they were rehearsing it in Detroit!

That is not at all what I meant.
Clearly it's not a tour they'd rather forget about given they added this entire leg very late in the picture. Any argument they'd been strong-armed into the tour by Live Nation falls to pieces. They absolutely did not have to do this leg. So can we please put this conspiracy theory to bed?

Seems the 3rd leg got off to a limp start.

I would say that the two things (this being a contractual obligation tour and the band wanting to extend it) are not mutually exclusive. Yes, I do think that the band was pressured by Live Nation, more or less, to do this tour (or rather, do any kind of tour this year). But given the success of the initial run the band decided to extend it. And so it's not a tour they'd like to forget. But I think that the band is now more looking forward, to SOE and those shows, rather than to think of a DVD-shoot of the current show.
Yeah I pretty much agree with this. If the band had absolutely no external pressure to do anything, would this tour have happened? Doubtful. But the whole furphy that they were forced into it against their will is ridiculous. If they were dead against the idea they wouldn't have done it. Live Nation would have been just as happy if the band said, for example, they were going to tour to road-test new material and play some old hits. Heaps of bands take new stuff on the road to gauge audience reaction before committing to the final studio sessions. And yeah, clearly the extension demonstrates that U2 were enjoying JT30 enough to book more dates - though I do wonder if they fully thought through the implications of that, because you're not wrong to describe them as now looking forward to SOE. It's like they couldn't decide whether to keep doing this successful tour or to promote the new album, so they've bumbled their way into doing both. I hope it doesn't bite them.
The audio of the JT portion of the show will either be a bonus disc on SOE or a fan subscriber give away from U2.com.
They won't release a video in December that will directly compete against the new album.
