Which of the 3 Sydney shows will have the better set?
I'm a little disappointed that the 2nd and 3rd shows were scheduled AFTER the 1st.
Knowing my luck, the 1st show will be standard and the 2nd and 3rd will get OOTS and some new songs Why can't they make them all as good as each other? |

Because good is objective.
What i think is good you might think is rubbish.

If you define 'good' as being 'not the standard set' and 'mixing it up a bit', it is highly likely that the third will have the most mixed-up and non-standard set of the three.

When its setlist variation you crave and ache for a setlist surprise your best money is usually night 3 or beyond. Amsterdam 3 had 3 different songs from night 1. And Dublin 3
On the other hand, I thought that during Elevation Arnhem 2 was better then Arnhem 3. And the multiple night variation of Vertigo leg 3 wasn't that great. So any decision on which night to attend is purely on your own risk. |

So have there been any exceptions to this "rule" so far? |

Vertigo x2 has tended to crop up at the last show in a city on this tour, except for the three shows in Amsterdam where Vertigo x2 was done at the first two shows and not the third.

Just because the set is Standard doesnt mean it wont be good.
In Europe during the Second Leg, it came to a point where the band didnt change their setlist and it was bashed here by people in other continents and those who didnt go to the actual shows, but most people who went to the concerts (including me) thought the setlist every night rocked (even though it may not have looked the best on paper) |

I remember it also came to a point that people were getting so bad that someone posted Electrcal Storm as a snippet after some song (think it was One) and the reasons he gave were because people seemed to be getting mor pissed as the setlist stayed the same (of course people were extra pissed when they found out it wasnt true) To me the setlist is only part of what makes a U2 concert special, I would take an amazing performance of All I Want Is You or I Will Follow over a crappy performance of DGPFYCC of Do You Feel Loved where half the crowd dont even recognise the song any day. And to answer the posters question chances are the 3rd Sydney show is probably going to have the best setlist but there have ben times this tour where the first night had very good setlists (Chicago 9/20) But I do aggree on one thing: ISHFWILF and BTBS should be dropped Last edited by jimjam; 08-10-2006 at 08:09 AM.. |

Just a final point: All 3 of the SYdney shows are going to be special, most people there will have been waiting since 1993 to see U2, they were disappointed during Popmart, Elevation and then the dates were postponed on this tour. These people will have been waiting desperatley for these shows to happen and All I ccan say is I wish I was going to be at just one of them. |
