Anyone else slightly disappointed with Hawaii set-list?

I loved the fact that they played ...Horses but other than that, I was expecting more from a tour finale. Maybe my expectations were too high but it would have been nice to see a "best of tour" set rather than the seeing Eddie Vedder and Billie Joe Armstrong. The set just appeared to seem too "gimicky" and as a U2 fan, I would have expected more from the final concert from such a big tour.

Personal opinion of course but I would have like to have seen.....

1. Bad. How do you end ANY U2 tour and not play Bad.
2. Original of the Species. According to Bono, this is the best song on 'Bomb...maybe they were just never happy with it live.
3. Like Xmas last year in Boston, it would have been nice to see at least a snippet of "Baby, Please Come Home"
4. One Tree Hill... such a highlight of the last leg...why not play it in Hawaii?
5. Yahweh... again, an earlier tour highlight...would have been a nice addition
6. Gloria or Electric Co or An Cat Dubh.... a big favorite during the tour regardless of which one...another "best or tour" highlight
7. 40... How could this not be the final song??

I know that is a lot an you'd have to eliminate some songs but I would have done the Green Day song and Eddie Vedder stuff on another night and perhaps take out Angel of Harlem and I Still Haven't Found....I know Window in the Skies is a great new song but again....my opinion only perhaps...it would have been great to see them pull it all together for their last night.

I'm surprised they didn't play OTH or Kite, those were the 2 gems of the last leg

But then the rest of the board would have bashed them and called them a "tribute band", can't please everyone...

Seeing Pearl Jam on the stage with U2 on the last concert of the tour was great for me, since they are two of my favorite bands. I regret that One Tree Hill, Kite, Zoo Station or The Electric Co. weren´t played, but you can´t have everything.

I suppose my point is that this tour had some really unbelievable moments, some great surprises and some great songs that were either played live for the first time, played for the first time in ages or songs that simply blended really well together. Each leg had a different mix, different songs that were unique for those audiences......

You obviously couldn't play everything when you start to think about it. (Miracle Drug was actually played during this tour, Crumbs was played...how about Instant Karma and Fast Cars?) These songs plus other great moments the were pointed out in other posts is what made this tour great.

Anyway...it would have been great to see a set list that was comprised of some of these moments rather than a "guest" singer set. Perhaps Mary J Blige was busy that night!! I have no problem seeing them collaborate with other artists but I would rather have seen the final night of the tour be more of a tribute to the fans rather than Eddie Vedder.

Jesus Christ, Mary J Blige? Are you serious?

Eddie Vedder is an amazing performer and a long time friend of the band. The cause of their collaboration was honorable and more important than Blige´s shrieking. The message Eddie and Bono tried to sent was one of the most important motives on the Vertigo Tour.

I was obviously being sarcastic since my point was that I would rather not see a "guest setlist"...get it?

I'm a big Pearl Jam fan and it is great to see Eddie Vedder and Bono on the same stage. Read through the whole post and I think you'll see my point and understand my use of sarcasm?

Yeah, I got it as soon as I read your message again, sorry about that. I just cringe when I hear the name Mary J Blige, pardon me.

Still, since you are a big PJ fan, you were really stuck on that Eddie Vedder detail. Why not delete the worn out songs like I Will Follow, I Still Haven´t Found or Pride for the highlights of the tour like The Electric Co., One Tree Hill and Zoo Station as a tribute to the fans?

That would for me be much more logical.

I was slightly disappointed but I wasn't expecting too much. As was said time and time and time and time and time again, they don't generally do special set lists for the final show.

I was surprised OTH was missing, but really that was it.

You lot only have yourself to blame for getting your hopes up. The closing show of a U2 tour is usually them playing the same shit they play up till then. Final Zoo TV show in Japan? Standard setlist. Final Popmart show in Johannesburg? Standard setlist. Final Elevation show in Miami? Standard setlist.

The only time when they did something special was the final Lovetown show in Rotterdam when they pulled the then rarely played Out of Control and 11 o'clock tick tock.

maybe because I'm a New Yorker, maybe because she sang like a bird, but Mary J. Blige brought the house down in the Garden. I swear, I would have never thougth I would enjoy seeing her at a U2 concert. But I did...and so did thousands of others.
