... so:

8-10 'new' songs, including "Window In The Skies" & "Wave Of Sorrow"

plus

15 'old' songs ('Greatest Hits'), some of them being switched from night to night. Hopefully after looking back on the first three albums, this time we get a more outings from TUF (celebrating a 25th anniversary).
I'd really love to see "A Sort Of Homecoming" and/or "The Unforgettable Fire" as staples in the setlists, together with "Bad". That'll do it for me, folks ...

Axver said:
Needs more 11 O'clock Tick Tock to be considered the best.
Click to expand...

It's funny, at least to me. His list is not even close to what I'd have put down, but his list also feels like it would have better flow and be a better show than whatever I'd compile. A few more older songs would have been great, but it likely upsets the balance he came up with.

The above is the most I've typed about anything U2-related in ages. The new album must be looming.
 
Just threw this together with just a little bit of thought:

Main Set 1
1. Zoo Station
2. The Fly / Idioteque (snippet)
3. 11 O’Clock Tick Tock / Drowning Man (snippet)
4. The Electric Co. / Break on Through to the Other Side (snippet) / I Can See for Miles (snippet)
5. God Part II
6. Wake Up Dead Man (snippet) / Gone
7. Hawkmoon 269
8. A Sort of Homecoming
9. One Tree Hill
10. Kite / Into the Fire (snippet)

Main Set 2
11. Mofo
12. Until the End of the World
13. New Year’s Day
14. Zooropa
15. Lemon [without the falsetto on the verses, still using it to back Edge’s vocal parts]
16. City of Blinding Lights
17. The Unforgettable Fire
18. Please
19. Acrobat
20. Love Is Blindness

Encore
21. MLK (snippet) / Where the Streets Have No Name

Hmmmm....let's give it a try:

The show starts with some classic instrumental song as the intro....maybe Ride of the Valkyres as U2 enters the stage.
01 - Lady with the Spinning Head (With a big intro...this way Bono can play around a little as he walks into the stage)
02 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me (close as possible to the studio version of the song; and it segues the outro from Lady.)
03 - Even Better Than the Real Thing
03 - Buffalo Gals (snippet)/ Desire
04 - A Room at the Heatbreak Hotel / Hawkmoon 269 (snippet, that last part of the song)
05 - So Cruel (I wonder what this song would look like with an orchestra behind it)
06 - Levitate
07 - Smile
08 - Human Touch (snippet) / Bad / The First Time (snippet) / Dirty Day (snippet, y'know... the end of the song)
09 - City of Blinding Lights
10 - Sweet Dreams (snippet) / Wedding March (snippet) / Angel of Harlem (snippet) / Pride (In the Name of Love)
