For me, the worst U2 setlist is any performance where Bono opens his mouth (I mean to talk) a lot.

I kind of like his stage-ranting from around 1978 to 1989, because it was either pure passion or comedy. There were a few impending harbingers of bad taste in 1985 and 1987, but he was largely under control.

The pure passion and the comedy disappeared after that and were replaced with self-consciousness (c.1992-1997), which reached its latter-day nadir of grand-standing stage patter, which I suppose is the inevitable result of decades of playing stadiums for a living, i.e. the death of performance art.

Can you imagine a U2 performance today where Bono didn't open his mouth except to sing? It would be amazing.
 
Somewhere in there they do a cover of Queen of the Supermarket. With Bono on megaphone.

And db9 diamond Dave rushes the stage again and picks up Bono again. This time things don't work out like they did all those years ago because both of them are, well, older. Paramedics have to be called, and the rest of the tour is cancelled. Larry is very relieved and announces his retirement.
 
Yoko Ono her complete life work minus the okay ones with Lennon.

Haha thanks

I figured use the JT 2017 model and apply it to the Passengers album. LOL.

American Soul sets up the disappointment pretty nicely.
