1. An audience broadly familiar with the band's deep cuts and b-sides seems like a North America specific thing, by and large. Certainly in Australia, this is the kind of set I would think the overwhelming majority of the crowd are hoping to see. There'd be, like, ten people who'd recognise a song like Black Red Yellow, or even most album tracks that aren't on Ten or Vs.
2. I like the idea of the band heavily favouring the new songs on this tour, they're playing them well. I like the more structured sets too, it gives this tour more personality than what they've been doing for the last decade plus.
3. They very, very rarely play the deeper cuts that well (fudged transitions, missed lyrics, etc), as compared to the hits which are usually pretty solid.
4. I hate when they let Mike play Eruption, it's so pointless!
agree on most points
on #4 - it's almost like an embarrassing self-esteem thing
'look he can play really well, just our songs are not the ones that will impress you...'

If this is what they’re gonna do on this leg, it’s not very PRAMGy of them to foot the expense of flying J Kling and Boomer halfway around the world.

Have to remember they hadnt been here in 14 years so it was always gonna be that sort of setlist.
crowd loved it locals and touring fans so that's the main thing

yeah it was a magical night after an awful hellish week..just what i needed. they were firing on all cylinders and tight af and was great seeing old friends from overseas and meeting some new ones
we're a little spoiled hardcore fans and see sets like that and gripe, but it was amazing in the room, and thats the main thing and he told a magic story about our mam too which left me a weepy mess, but it was worth it

Great Do The Evolution version indeed. Love seeing double telecasters from Mike and Stone.

3:51 on Spotify, but Studio version has additional seconds because of fade out and the YT video cuts intro. So its not a simple math

So looking at that video it sounds just exactly on time?
It sounded a lot slower and meaner in the room.
Wonder what that was about? We’re just used to live stuff being sped up maybe
It was incredible anyways. Sound and visual just so great. Highlight of the night or one of them. And how often do we say that about an established tune we know inside and out?

Matt had been rushing that one for years. It's the contrast of returning to its true tempo. I get it.

That’s probably it. I was wondering was it humidity maybe?the air was so thick n sticky that night I thought maybe that might be it.
It was easily the best evolution I’ve ever heard anyways. Savage and immense.

It happens.
U2 of all people have a nightmare story about that.
They were playing on the zoo tv tour out somewhere like vegas or phoenix and bono was way out on the big ego ramp way out in the crowd and whatever way the humidity worked he came back to the main stage to find himself in a different key and few beats off what the band were playing.
That’s what made me think of it

Is the humidity on the Zoo TV tour in the room with us right now?
