[Oskar]

Ok. Let's make the worst U2-setlist you can imagine...

1. A man and a woman
2. Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
3. Miami
4. MOFO
5. Pop Muzik

now you can continue...

 

[Axver]

Allow me to introduce you to the worst U2 setlist ever:

*resists temptation to post a ZooTV setlist*

1. Red Light - 1.5 hour version
Encore 1: Red Light - 20 minute version
Encore 2: Red Light - 10 minute version, followed by Bono wondering where the crowd's gone.

[Nisse]

Well I think the beat is good on the album, but it's not on the live version so imo it's not as good

What album.. but your right the awful song that is Peace On Earth deserves a spot

Actually with the exceptions of a few, would love that setlist.

 

[Bonochick]

Nothing.

 

[Nisse]

It's not that I hate all those songs, but all them together would be craptastic.

 

[gman]

Hows about:

Opener, The Ocean, then to liven things up and get people dancing could have.......the 4th of july and then MLK to close

 

[Axver]

The Ocean was actually often used to open on the Boy Tour. It wasn't unusual for a show to open with The Ocean --> 11 O'clock Tick Tock and then close with the reverse, 11 O'clock Tick Tock --> The Ocean.

 

[Glorfindel1993]

There are no U2 songs I dislike, but perhaps the worst would be The Ground Beneath her Feet followed by a 2-hour version of Lady witht he Spinning Head, with Bono singing one part of la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lady with the spinning head over a span of 20 minutes

 

[annie_vox]

^^ Actually the ground beneath her feet was one of the songs that I would love ho hear live.

I wouldn't like a setlist with an extended vertion of Desire and When Love Comes To Town... But I can't say I would hate it...

Glorfindel1993 - off topic: I love your nickname! Yes I'm a lord of the rings fan

I'd actually like to hear a lot of the songs mentioned in this thread. Here's a set from me, not trying to just make it have "crap songs" as that's subjective, but to make a terrible, disjointed set devoid of flow. So there are songs here I love and songs I hate, united by a common theme of "there's no flow!"

1. 40
2. When I Look At The World
3. Desire
4. Where The Streets Have No Name
5. Into The Heart
6. Street Mission
7. Promenade
8. Bullet The Blue Sky
9. Lady With The Spinning Head
10. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
11. Party Girl
12. With A Shout
13. Discotheque
14. Race Against Time
15. The Fly
16. 4th Of July

17. If You Wear That Velvet Dress
18. All Because Of You
19. Zooropa
20. Viva Davidoff

21. The Playboy Mansion

Is there a 78 minute speech before One, and a speech about what "encore" means before Vertigo?

 

[Axver]

Is there a 78 minute speech before One, and a speech about what "encore" means before Vertigo?

Yes, every performance is preceded by a 78 minute speech, except in the encores, where Bono does the speech TWICE.

Bono gives his "what 'encore' means" speech fourteen times before the fourteenth performance of Vertigo.
