U2 opened up their world tour in San Diego earlier this week. Here is the set list. They kicked off the show by playing, "City of Blinding Lights," the best song off How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. They ended with "40," the old-school closer with music by U2 and lyrics by God. Best of all, they played "40" in traditional fashion, with Bono departing the stage, then Edge, and then Adam, ending with a solitary Larry banging his drums and a packed arena chanting, "How long to sing this song?" And then Larry exits, leaving the fifth member of U2 to continue the concert indefinitely without the band.

Hawkmoon 269, Love rescue me, Out of Control, I will follow, Please, Ultraviolet, Unforgettable fire, Bad, The Fly,One tree hill, Running to stand still, exit, Lemon, one, All i want is you, Bullet the blue sky,with or without you, Sometime you cant make it...and 40 need to be played for it to be an awesome set list. Set list is ok. Kind of weak for $150 a ticket. The Black Crowes are only $40.

That IS a pretty old-school setlist. I didn't know they still played that stuff from the 80s (I prefer pre-JT stuff, myself). Not worth 150, though.

I wonder, if things ever get bad again in Norther Ireland, will U2 get better?

They're sellouts who if anything peaked in the late 80's and they're not worth $150 to see.

Im a really big U2 fan myself, but after they sang for the opening of the Clinton Library, I sure as hell am not going to pay 150 dollars to see them. Thats just an extra 150 dollars for their Liberal causes.
