The middle section of 4 songs will be from a different album each night. I suspect at least 1 rarity for each of these besides like ATYCLB
It appears not. Exact same songs played on night II. Very Disappointing indeed!
Maybe they'll do a run of shows with R&H before switching to four songs from another album.
Zooropa and Pop could be pretty tasty sandwiched in the middle of the AB set.
I wonder how they’ll approach a set for another album like Zooropa or Pop or Unforgettable Fire. The Rattle & Hum set is an acoustic set and the R&H songs are probably more adaptable to acoustic than other albums.
[From the "Predictions" thread]
The worst thing to happen to this band is when Bono somehow decided that the true test of every song is whether it works with a stripped-down, acoustic delivery. It's just an excuse for laziness. There's not a single U2 song that is better if/when given the SOS treatment. But it does save the band from having to do the hard work of performing hard songs properly.
Stay(Faraway, So Close) works great, and I'd argue that Angel Of Harlem is better live acoustic than the studio version.
You’d lose that argument (but not admit it)
