I expected little variation. But I also expected a better standard setlist.
So what that Beautiful Day has been reinvented when it sounds like trash. Little Things isn't much. I Will Follow has been played so rarely as to barely be relevant. And UV can blow me.
Mate I was bored shitless during the encore of London 1, 23 hours before the Great Crushing Disappointment.
And back in May, I think my excitement about ASOH, and my belief the setlist would shift and evolve (in its song inclusions as well as structure, since the encore seemed like such a work in progress), masked my broader disappointment with the setlist the band chose. I definitely remember thinking often "is this it?" and waiting for more songs to be rehearsed during those sessions in Vancouver, songs that never came. Specifically, my complaints focus on the following: there are not enough songs before JT, there should be a couple of Rattle and Hum songs after JT to end the main set with a bang, the encore should open with an in-your-face Achtung track, there are no JT b-sides not even Sweetest Thing, and where the sweet fuck is 40.
Holy shit man, maybe it's time to stop going to U2 shows for you. Better to give up your spot to some one who will enjoy their time at the concert instead. Maybe i'm reading it wrong? But seems to me it's been a long time since you enjoyed yourself at a U2 gig, so time to give it up, there are people out there ticketless who will have a better time...
hahahahahahahaha

I cannot and would not claim my life is better than yours. So how about we stop trading insults, I have been complicit as well so I am done with that.
However, for my money I maintain this tour is a bore and the setlists are terrible (not just static which we expect from this band but simply poor choices). JT30 was and is designed to both put off the new record which they cannot seem to finish (no shock there) as well as serve their LN contract. No dishonor in either of those things individually but to pretend this tour is some sort of musical or artistic triumph is absurd.
Have you seen it in person?
Well the album seems to be done according to recent activity, many folks enjoyed the tour, and I think it garnered some new interest; so the tour served some purpose.
I think the encore setlist missed a huge opportunity . A day without me , drowning man , 11 oclock tick toc , 40 , wired , indian summer sky , MLK surrender, walk on , Gloria etc , all the above could just be relevant and mix it up with BD, Elevation , Vertigo ( all of which have now been played to death ) . The fact they havent thrown in the odd curve ball for the hardcore fans who have been with them over the last 30 years , in the pissing rain , ducking the bottles full of piss shows just how disconnected they have become from fans / music itself .
So not quite a "bore" then..Yes, Seattle. And hey, I enjoyed it so I'm not saying this whole thing is crap or anything. But by U2's very high standards, it falls well short of what this could have been.

First thing it was a joy seeing JT played live , nothing can take that enjoyment away.
Outside the JT setlist , this really feels like a lazy showupforthemoney type gig . There is zero spontaneity and it now feels like a U2 gig is nothing more than like going to a theatre where the script is set with act one and act two firmly adhere too.
This has to be the worst encore set ever and not even trying to mix it up is very sad indeed.
Who says they can't change now? .
the goal is soul, but the tour is a bore.
many, many fans are checking out.
good luck with the next album, in 2018, 19 or whenever.
Orgeporgia, you can't have it both ways.No surprise that you confuse good PR with a great show/tour.
If that's your yardstick, U2 are doing it all to plan. Love that you love it. I really do. God bless.
Orgeporgia, you can't have it both ways.
In the first post you say fans are checking out and good luck with the next album... when that's countered, you change to "difference between good PR and a good tour"
You're contradicting your self (shocker!)
One would think that someone would be offended at being called a member who was banned for being outed as a white nationalist...you reckon that's him???

I'm usually critic about the lack of spontaneity but this time the tour is very different, I wouldn't expect nor ask for something much different from what we're seeing each night.
First half is amazing (and trust me, usually I don't care that much about their 80s era) and the encore is pretty decent - they must stick to some of their most vibrant tunes to end the show on a high note.
The only song I think it's not that good is Miss Sarajevo but the rest is awesome. The sequence BDay - Elevation - Vertigo just turns a stadium into a real volcano, they get a massive reaction from the croud, and that's what we should expect from an encore.
Still not a denial
