What do you guys think the best setlist has been...this doesn't exactly mean which has been the best show, I just want to know what setlists have been enjoyed the most.

In my opinion, the best setlist of the Vertigo tour has to be Amsterdam 3:
Main Set: Vertigo, I Will Follow, The Electric Co., Elevation, New Year's Day, Beautiful Day, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, City of Blinding Lights, Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Love and Peace or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky, Miss Sarajevo, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name - All You Need is Love, One - Unchained Melody

Encore(s): Zoo Station, The Fly, With or Without You, All Because of You, Original of the Species, Yahweh, 40

Anyone think differently?
 
Even though it has Vertigo x2 and lacks The Electric Co., Dublin III for me:

Vertigo

Gloria
Elevation
An Cat Dubh

Beautiful Day / Blackbird (snippet)
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For / The Boys Are Back In Town (snippet)

if croke park 3 had one more AB song, either UTEOTW, Wild Horses, or Mysterious Ways, then yes it would've been the best....not that i would've complained if this is the setlist they played when i went or when i go in november
 
For me, definitely Croke Park II:

Vertigo
Out of Control
The Electric Co.
Elevation
New Year's Day
Beautiful Day
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
All I Want Is You
City of Blinding Lights
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love and Peace or Else

Yeah Amsterdam 3:drool: :drool: :drool:
What a great night , I was there too.
The tour premiere of Mrs Sarajevo.
And they played Wild Horses:drool:

Yep that`s one of the best setlist`s.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

p.s. was Out Of Control played for the last-time at the 2nd Amsterdam show????
They should bring it back!!!!!
 
I think the best setlists have been Croke 3 and Chicago 4. From what I gather from comments here and elsewhere the best performance so far was Croke 2. Hard for me to say though since I wasnt there. :shrug:
 
I really don't think Amsterdam 3 was very extraordinary at all, outside of the debut of Miss Sarajevo. Pretty lame 3rd night set if you ask me.
 
Just going by the setlists (since I obviously haven't been to every show), I'd have to say Chicago 4, Boston 2 and 3, and Dublin 2 and 3.

I also like San Diego 2 a lot. They were still working out the order of the setlist at the beginning, and now, when you look at them again, those early shows tend to be some of the most unique of the entire tour. The performance of San Diego 2 is excellent and the setlist is quite different.
 
San Diego II is awesome for the reason it s the only show this tour to have The Electric Co. and Gloria in one set.
 
I think Boston 2 had the best.

Main Set:
City of Blinding Lights,
Vertigo - Walk This Way
Elevation
Gloria
The Ocean
Beautiful Day - Dream On
Miracle Drug

None of the Amsterdam III fans want to explain what's so great about it?

Ever since Dublin III, U2's multi-night stand sets have been pretty weak.
