Am very excited to be going.

Whilst there will be a few changes here and there I guess this is what we will all get but I'm hoping there will be other songs from RAH, Zooropa and NLOTH played at some point. I'm still a little disappointed there's no 'Streets' but agree it's a brave setlist to say the least. Maybe if they release dates for countries not yet played on the last 2 tours they will include songs from TJT? Also, has anyone noticed that the last 4/5 songs of set 1 is exactly the same as the I & E tour 3 years ago?

It's strange how people's perspectives differ. We left the concert last night and met a couple who thought the sound was terrible and they felt disappointed with the evening. Generally as a city I reckon London is always up for a party. After recent months there was a certain feel about the night that resilience would ensure it was a great evening, summed up by Bono during SBS when he invites the crowd to chant, "No More...wipe your tears away." It seemed a little strange to begin with that we perhaps were treated to the well loved anthems of U2's catalogue at the start of the set. there was no warm to lead into these songs just an open invite to dive deep into them. Welcome to side to of the Joshua Tree Cassette was announced after RHMT. Like others here I wasn't overly keen with the piano led version. The original guitar led possesses so much more rawness and passion. I think that is why I love the album version so much. But I loved hearing the "side 2" songs. These were gems rarely put on display and the visuals accompanying them added beauty to the audio treats we were experiencing. One Tree Hill was magical, Exit (why the band haven't played this since 1987/8 is a mystery) was a masterpiece and then MOTD was simply elegance personified as the main set was completed. In reflection I think I would like to see the opening songs changed especially Pride and SBS. Surely there are songs that fill these slots in the set just as well? Again U2 pull out a stunning performance. Even my 13yr old didn't sit down for all the evening!

I'm hoping they really shake up the setlist especially the encores when they begin the european leg.

It looks like it is doing what it says on the tin! Anything other then I guess a few of us would be vocal in our disappointment.

I guess the one thing we all know is that even if this is the set list it will be an amazing evening. I'm going especially to hear the Joshua Tree album tracks and anything else would be a bonus. Saying that I am a little disappointed as SBS needs to be rested IMHO. I would have thought some of the tracks from RAH as wells TJT B Sides would be really great on this tour. It would seem to be an opportunity missed not to air some of these tracks. Maybe they will have another few tracks up their sleeves they will introduce each evening especially as Edge not so long ago was talking about Drowning Man...and Acrobat (but I'm less fussed about that one!).

That does surprise me. I've been able to go to every tour since Zooropa and twice on SOI. It's really expensive now to go and so I don't get how folk can go 4/5/6 times each tour.

Not a bad show as such but thought the 360 tour at Wembley was to transfixed on the show part and not enough on the music. I didn't think the sound was very good either.

@ Yardie Have looked at the set list. It's awesome and I'd accept the same when they tour again this year. Apart from I would replace the two Beatles covers and include stuff like: Drowning Man, Out of Control, I Threw a Brick,Two Hearts and possibly a few of Rattle and Hum.

Did you opt for a physical ticket otherwise you can print them off the receipt from TM?

All U2's shows have a political edge to them. I rather like it and appreciate how they do this. There's the quote from Adam on the RAH film which I completely agree with.. "There are some people who say you shouldn't mix politics and music, sports and politics. Well... I think that's kinda bull****!"

A joke shirley?????? ask any U2 fan worth their salt and I think acrobat would top most peoples lists Not really. We are all different and can like /dislike any songs without being felt less because of it. Personally I much rather hear So Cruel than Acrobat. Even if So Cruel was done acoustically it is IMHO better than Acrobat.

Why be nervous for the tour? It's not as if the band have suddenly got crap at playing live after 40 years! I could understand why the band want to play a more stripped down version of RHMT but I hope they play it in full as it is the one album track I am eager to hear live.

I guess it's not long until we find out what the band settle on in terms of the setlist. I actually really like how the tracks run on CD but it is a puzzle to how they will present it live. Personally I much prefer Streets to be played towards the end of the main set and with a build up to it rather than have it as an opener. I loved the last tour where they rotated Gloria, Out of Control and Electric Co and would love to see these tracks on this tour plus ' I Threw a Brick, New Years Day, Drowning Man and of course Bad and 40. Wouldn't mind if they rested I will follow and SBS. Then I love them to release something special related to the tour for next years membership gift!

Here it goes... Am not sure how likely such a selection happen as I have missed out a lot of the recent albums. They'll probably want to include stuff like Vertigo, Beautiful Day, I will Follow but I would be happy to rest these songs. ​Hold Me, Thrill Me kiss Me Kill Me Desire 11 O Clock Tick Tock/A Celebration The Fly New Years Day Every Breaking Wave Drowning Man/Hallelujah Here She Comes ISHFWILF With or Without You Bullet the Blue Sky Running to Stand Still Red Hill Mining Town In God’s Country Trip Through Your Wires One Tree Hill Exit Mother’s of the Disappeared Bad Walk On Pride One Streets Gloria/Out of Control Hawkmoon 40
