U2 makes more and more songs as the albums go on to the point that
they didn't have enough "concert time" to put in a cover song because
even they couldn't cover all their "key" hits in a 2 hour show. No
more Satellite Of Love, Stand By Me (full band), All Along the
Watchtower, or Springhill Mining Disaster. All we get now are
snippets finding their way to songs.
They even had to "alter" their setlist towards teh end of the tour to
drop the karaoke and include SBS and Bad (with snippets of All I Want
Is You instead of the full All I Want Is You).
U2 seldom excludes a song from the setlist on a tour only to revive it
in teh next tour (although they did this to "I Will Follow" which was
basically absent in ZOO TV). So I guess it's also goodbye to the
Zooropa songs (after all, the title Zooropa itself would imply that
the songs were intended for European concert consumption).
To make things worse, they don't have a greatest hits tour (if tehy
have anyway, most songs will now be 2 keys lower instead of the usual
one key lower due to Bono's voice).
So maybe now more that ever, we should fuck the past and kiss the
future. Here's to more U2 mega-albums to come.
