Music: Re: [u2tour] Set Lists

I too have to agree here, but I think it is possible. Is it really
impossible with today's technology to have some generic effects for a song
or two?
"Insert diff song here tonight" section. There really should be more
anticipation about a show having a surprise song or two IMO.

How many times have you been at a show and talked to a fan that saw them on
the same tour and said they pulled a out a gem like Gloria, Eletric Co.,
or 11 Oclock Tick Tock...etc.?
Not very often...and that's a shame if you ask me. This is why I go see 2U
all the time.
