Random U2 Setlist Generator - (Crazy Awesome Results)

[Oregoropa]

I finally figured out a quick way to randomize every recorded U2 song. And from that create completely random concert setlist. I first copied the list of songs from Wikipedia. Then pasted it in the list organizer of Random.org (basically takes a list and will randomize it). Amazed it took only a few seconds. Took the top 25 songs.

So here is the first setlist of generated songs

1."Unknown Caller"
2."Running to Stand Still"
3."Into the Heart"
4."Mercy"
5."Neon Lights"
6."Ground Beneath Her Feet, The"
7."Room at the Heartbreak Hotel, A"
8."Out of Control"
9."I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
10."Crumbs from Your Table"
11."October"
12."Twilight"
13."Acrobat"
14."Please"
15."One"
16."Breathe"
17."Scarlet"
18."White as Snow"
19."Heartland"

20."Fortunate Son"
21."Tomorrow"
22."Indian Summer Sky"

23."Shadows and Tall Trees"
24."Stories for Boys"
25."Every Breaking Wave"

Now I would pay some serious money for that show Mercy, Acrobat, Heartland, Tomorrow

Try it out and post your suggestions for IE Tour

That's hilarious that it picked so many of the white whales.

You freak me out when I see your posts. I'm like "it's tiny me!"

Ha I knew I saw the same pic somewhere. Maybe I'll update mine, or we can be like Russian Dolls.

Some of these Setlists I've been fiddling with are atrocious. Coming out to Cedars of Lebanon. POE, and 2 Passengers tracks in the middle of the show.

One list did put 40 in the #25 spot.

I vote Russian dolls. Now we just need to search for a microscopic us!

Also, I like the way you think (clearly), profile pic twin.

 

[LemonMelon]

Even this algorithm thinks Acrobat is long overdue.

 

[Oregoropa]

Imagine taking a casual fan to this. The GA is gonna be jumping for the first couple songs. I think I'd want my money back. (I'm just bored at work trying to find the best/weirdest combos )


1."Drunk Chicken/America"
2."MLK"
3."40"
4."Zooropa"
5."Beautiful Ghost/Introduction to Songs of Experience"
6."Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"

8."I'm Not Your Baby"
9."Refugee, The"
10."Miami"
11."One Tree Hill"

[Axver]

I can't believe it put Fire and Saturday Night together.

Also I would pay so much good money for One Tree Hill followed by Luminous Times.

I guess every show has it's amazing moments. BTW the Algorithm seems to hate Stand Up Comedy

 

[Oregoropa]

This one has a killer encore


1."Hallelujah (Here She Comes)"
2."Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own"
3."If You Wear That Velvet Dress"
4."Jesus Christ"

Luminous Times into Ultraviolet

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

that would be the coolest way for a band to show their love to the fans! For some nights, in a very funny way

 

[Axver]

Alright so I ran it a few times. The first time it loved Passengers:

1. Two Hearts Beat As One
2. Heartland
3. Endless Deep
4. Walk On
5. Miracle Drug
6. California
7. Always Forever Now
8. Where Did It All Go Wrong?
9. Party Girl
10. Don't Take Your Guns to Town
11. Sweetest Thing
12. The Saints are Coming
13. United Colours
14. Discotheque
15. Shadows and Tall Trees
16. Beautiful Ghost/Introduction to Songs of Experience
17. Do You Feel Loved
18. A Different Kind of Blue
19. Mercy

20. Oh Berlin
21. Spanish Eyes
22. Slow Dancing

23. Viva Davidoff
24. Rejoice
25. Down All the Days

Second time around it still thought Viva Davidoff was a good idea, and funnily enough it paired together White as Snow and October. In the other order, it was an idea Willie Williams urged the band to consider during July 2009:

1. Staring at the Sun
2. Cedarwood Road
3. No Line on the Horizon II
4. Iris
5. Wave of Sorrow
6. MLK
7. Always
8. Twilight
9. Into the Heart
10. Salome
11. Seconds
12. Ultra Violet
13. Last Night on Earth
14. Where Did It All Go Wrong?
15. Viva Davidoff
16. Window in the Skies
17. A Man and a Woman
18. White As Snow
19. October

20. The Hands that Built America
21. Angels Too Tied to the Ground
22. Wake Up Dead Man

23. Electrical Storm
24. The Three Sunrises
25. The First Time

And the third time it gave an opening that I know I would enjoy the shit out of, even if the transition from song one to song two would be fucking weird:

1. Exit
2. Beach Sequence
3. The Unforgettable Fire
4. No Line on the Horizon
5. A Day Without Me
6. The First Time
7. Mothers of the Disappeared
8. Desert of Our Love
9. I Threw a Brick Through a Window
10. Raised By Wolves
11. The Hands That Built America
12. Invisible
13. With or Without You
14. Zooropa
15. Fast Cars
16. Winter
17. Party Girl
18. Zoo Station
19. MLK

20. Native Son
21. Walk On
22. The Fly

23. Volcano
24. Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)
25. Things to Make and Do

 

[Hewson]

Also I would pay so much good money for One Tree Hill followed by Luminous Times.

And then Things to Make and Do... almost worth sitting through the beginning of the show for.

 

[gareth brown]

haha this is a great idea

 

[Oregoropa]

I'm coming on shift so I'll pop on some more.

I had one with an incredible start.

1. God Part II
2. Exit
3. Mofo


If anything it's peaked my interest in some obscure tracks that I now dig.


Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference

 

[Oregoropa]

Instead of Vertigo x2 you get Slow Dancing x2


1."Unchained Melody"

20."First Time, The"
21."Trip Through Your Wires"
22."Silver and Gold"

23."Slow Dancing"
24."Drowning Man"
25."Slow Dancing" (with Willie Nelson)

 

[corianderstem]

I'd love for Willie Nelson to show up for a duet. That would fucking rule.

 

[Oregoropa]

Had this strange nugget pop up

6."Sweetest Thing" (The Single Mix)
7."Sweetest Thing" Original B-Side

 

[redhill]

Any one of these random setlists would be vastly preferable to anything U2 has come up since 97.
