Some things haven't changed, reflected Bono. Until The End of the World, Mysterious Ways - it was ten years on from that first performance in St Louis that the Achtung Baby was born, and twenty years further on again, those songs on this tour are sounding like they might have been written yesterday. 'That word freedom feels like the end of the world.'

'Somewhere in the world tonight that word freedom feels expensive. 'A warm summer night where we celebrate our freedom. The Busch Stadium was definitely hotter tonight than the Graham Chapel, boiling hot, and the temperature only rose when the band hit the stage with 'Real Thing' and the 'Kraut rock circa 1991' of The Fly. 'That was a cool thing to dig up, so much has changed, so much has remained the same.' 'The Cry, The Electric Co., Things To Make and Do, Stories for Boys, Boy-Girl, Out of Control, and the encore was our big hit A Day Without Me, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, The Ocean and I Will Follow. He could remember the rest of the set list on that night too. 'Unusual little venue, at the Graham Chapel, Washington University.' 'Thanks for sticking with us, we've been here before,' recalled Bono. what a set list the band opened with in St Louis.Īctually, this was the one they opened with on another night in St Louis, thirty years ago when they first played here. The Ocean, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow, An Cat Dubh, Into The Heart, Another Time Another Place.
