Setlist feedback..

[maggotbrain]

Now, I know it looks like I could banter long into the night about setlist, but I want some feedback on the following from some proper fans. I'm in a tribute act in England and we play mainly pubs to a very general audience (i.e. non-U2 fans, people who only know the hits). I was just wondering how genuine fans would feel if they saw a tribute do the following songs. Here goes: -

<Vertigo Tour costume>
Vertigo
I will follow
Electric co / Break On Through (snippet)
Desire
Elevation
New Year's Day
In Gods country
Kite
Bullet The Blue Sky
City of blinding lights

<Costume change, Zoo TV>
Zoo station
Real thing
Until The End Of The World
Mysterious Ways
Still Haven't Found / Exodus (Snippet)
Angel of harlem
Sunday bloody sunday
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Beautiful day
With or without you

Streets
One
Pride
All I Want Is You

For casual fans it's a pretty great set; for die-hards it would probably be pretty meh.

Cheers for the feedback lads. Dead right about the casual fans comment. So hard picking a U2 set, as the one I'd have would go down like a lead balloon in most places we play! (When we play Kite it gets barely acknowledged) A bit of the old mid 90s I was thinking, though

Hmm, interesting, though not without logic as the second half would mirror the zoo tv intro almost exactly. Nice one!

I remember seeing an amazing U2 tribute band called us4 in a pub in my hometown, they opened with 'Even Better than the real thing' and it all went off! Great night.
