Alright, unlike you baboons, I'm going to give this a real shot:
1. Get On Your Boots
2. Stuck in a Moment
3. One
4. Beautiful Day
5. Get Out of Your Own Way
6. American Soul
7. Get Out of Your Own Way
8. American Soul
9 - 15: Bono keeps fucking up the Kendrick parts and the boys get into a loop of American Soul and Get Out of Your Own Way
16. Happy Birthday (to Kate Blanchett)
17. The Wanderer (lip synched)
18. Bono blathers on about Las Vegas or Innocence or something
19. American Soul
20. Bono does the saltine challenge, but with pizza
== encore ==
21. You're the Best Thing About Me (creepy acoustic version)
22. Larry gives his drumsticks to Nate
23. Bono says "I think it's....11 o'clock guys" everyone is pumped. The Edge starts that legendary riff. Band meeting. Bono is overheard on his hot mic saying "no, edge, it's 11 o'clock, you know we don't play for more than 2 hours" and then lights go on and Miracle plays on the speakers
God people, it's that easy.

I said worst setlist possible, not this current tour's setlist.
They are then promised as a U2.com fanclub exclusive. Three years later, nobody has received anything except a mousepad.

More 5G Than Man
but it's a TIGHT NARRATIVE.
Setlist:
1>.Get On Your Boots full band stop with Bono Dressed as Mirror Ball Man call the local Domino's order 300 pizza's to be delivered ASAP... Go back into Boots until all pizza's were delivered than watch Bono eat ALL of the pizza's while audience watches....
Encore
2>. Get On Yer Boots - country style, while Bono eats Ice Cream from a vendor he's brought on stage

wait like, each song is 12 minute long then? is it like some kind of fucked up experiment to make U2 perform like Godspeed You! Black Emperor?
Final encore is even more truncated versions of I will follow and all I want is you than on popmart, and bad is just Bono shouting words ending in -ation

The songs are dragged out by the talking. Post rock U2 is my dream version if the band!
I do wish somebody would have a solid go at the original premise, rather than just "lol 12-hour medley of Stand Up Comedy and Yahweh feat. Imagine Dragons".
Give me U2 making a legitimate attempt to construct a setlist but failing to get any decisions right.

Alright, I'll try. I'm going to try to make this fairly realistic, meaning, these are songs that the band either would actually play or are currently playing. And yes, I like some of what will be on here, but for the point of the exercise, let's see what the shittiest possible setlist I can come up with...
1 Return of the Stingray Guitar
2 Desire
3 I Will Follow
4 All Because of You
5 The Ocean
6 Beautiful Day
7 Song for Someone
8 Sunday Bloody Sunday (i/e version)
9 Joey Ramone (Bono ends SBS on the estage and replicates 2015 opener)
- intermission -
10 Elevation
11 Mysterious Ways (no slide solo)
12 Best Thing (Acoustic Version)
13 Stuck in a Moment (piano only)
14 Every Breaking Wave (piano only)
15 October
16 Get Out of Your Own Way
17 American Soul

18 What's Going On?
19 Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
20 Miss Sarajevo

somehow this looks fun, I don't know why
also when they play Love comes to Town, im sure they're gonna use hologram BB King, right?
The first half actually looks fairly OK, though ending with IE-style Miracle is hilarious. That second set and encore is pretty much a superb trainwreck. Love opening the encore with What's Going On.
Hasn't he actually done this?
And Beach Sequence into Boots is definitely whiplash material, you have delivered on your guarantee.
Oh yes, this is a proper calamity.
I can just imagine Bono coming out for that encore. Some ostensibly well-intentioned speech that is an absolute failure. "Hey, men of the world, this is a love song for us to get out of our own way!"
Look forward to beating you in that fight.
Kieran McConville
ONE love, blood, life
He sure has, yes. So it's got plausibility too.
Kieran McConville
ONE love, blood, life
In the augmented reality, yes, that's definitely possible. Hologram BB King, but made up to be how he'd be now if he was still alive, so really super old.

ONE love, blood, life
I forgot to include somewhere in that setlist:
Miracle Drug/Heroin (Lou Reed snippet)
