3.Desire or Gloria
4.Elevation or Mysterious Ways
5.Crumbs from Your Table
6.Miracle Drug
7.Electric Co. or Out of Control
8.Love and Peace
9.The Unforgettable Fire or Exit
10.Sunday Bloody Sunday
11.Hands That Built America
12.Bullet the Blue Sky
13. Original of the Species
14. Bad or Ultraviolet
15. City of Blinding Lights
16. Beautiful Day
17. Pride or Walk On

18.Mofo

20.I Will Follow
21.Until the End of the World

22.One
23.Running To Stand Still or One Step Closer to Knowing
24.Where the Streets Have No Name
 
That setlist is kinda good, but this thread belongs in U2 Setlists area in Tour Central.
 
That's a tad long. You're going to need to probably cut two songs as U2 rarely play past the 22 song mark.
 
I'm optimistic that they may play 24 on average...but if had to cut it down to 22 I guess I could axe:

Desire/Gloria
UF/Exit

(as much as I'd love to hear them)

and i guarantee you they won't play Ultraviolet. hell, they didn't even play it at ZooTV half the time.

While it was dropped for the ten shows of the final leg of Zoo, it was played at the vast majority of the other four legs. If I remember correctly, Zoo featured a total of 157 shows and Ultra Violet featured at 110.

But, as the rule says, it's not coming back. If a song is dropped during its first tour, then it's probably not going to return. Although UV only vanished to make room for Zooropa material (specifically Lemon), so I wouldn't write it off.

(I'm desperately hoping the rule holds true and it never returns, though.)

I picked those more thematicallly...the SBS/HTBA/Bullet series kinda acts as a journey from Ireland to America. The Mofo/SYCMIOYO/IWF encore deals with Bono's parents. I'd be compelled to replace IWF with The First Time..
 
1. Vertigo
2. All because of you
3. Sometimes you cant make it on your own
4. I will follow
5. Mysterious ways
6. Until the end of the world
7. New years day
8. Miracle drug
9. Crumbs from your table

10. Stay
11. Desire
12. In a little while
13. A man and a woman

14. Love and peace or else
15. One step closer
16. Where the streets have no name

ENCORE

17. Out of control
18. Electrical Storm
19. City of blinding lights

ENCORE 2

20. Original of the species
21. One
22. Yahweh

This is a very resonable setlist. Not a very sexy one like the wild ones that we want but one of songs that they have played in previous tours ad nauseaum
 
Slighty revised..

1.Vertigo
2.All Because of You
3.Desire or Gloria

12.Bullet the Blue Sky
13. Original of the Species
14. Bad or Ultraviolet or With or Without You
15. City of Blinding Lights
16. Beautiful Day
17. Pride or Walk On

18.I Will Follow or Mofo

Thank you!! yeah, I think you might be right on 'Beautiful Day' needing to go near the end...that would be powerful there.

'The Unforgettable Fire' would definitely bring the crowd to their knees....'Ultraviolet' a nice surprise and I hope that happens as I've never seen them play it live before!!
 
I still think U2 will switch things up on a night to night basis. It won't be Pearl Jam crazy but they'll change 5-6 songs a night while playing a few standards and the new tunes. If they do the Itunes concert thing they'll have to switch it up some what to sell shows to the U2 freaks like us :drool:

U2 always tries to out do everyone when it comes to touring and quite a few big bands, Stones, the Boss, etc. have been doing the different setlist thing. How cool would it be to hear Lemon, Mofo, or One Tree Hill some nights.

My setlist for the "Bomb" tour would be something like this...(though I have quite a few variations, the basic structure won't change too much)

Love and Peace or Else
Vertigo
I Will Follow
Even Better Than the Real Thing
Crumbs From Your Table
Until the End of the World
All Because of You
Miracle Drug
City of Blinding Lights
The Unforgettable Fire
Angel of Harlem (Full Band - Second Stage)
Stay (Bono and the Edge)
Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out of
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
One Tree Hill
Where the Streets Have No Name
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bullet the Blue Sky
With Or Without You
One Step Closer (Snippet)/Yahweh
Walk On
----------------------------------------------------------------
One


Granted, most of these songs are pretty standard...but I doubt that we will get a lot of earth shatterers on this tour. Once the tour gets through to the second leg, the setlist will vary quite a bit more so we'll se more than what is above. I think some or all of the following will make an appearance on the tour

Beautiful Day - This may be in the set from day one, but ATYCLB isn't one of my favorite albums, so I didn't include it above...If I did, it would replace Even Better Than the Real Thing...

Peace on Earth - Part or all of this song will appear somewhere...I would put it as a snippet and it would replace the One Step Closer snippet in my setlist above.

Out of Control - Will probably rotate in and out of the setlist pretty frequently

Electrical Storm - One of my favorites, but I wasn't sure where to put this into the set

The Hands That Built America - May show up once or twice as a second stage song with Bono and The Edge

A Man and A Woman - I would love to see this one in the setlist, but am unsure if it will appear a lot because of how demanding it is on Bono's voice.

Original of the Species - My favorite from HTDAAB...they'll do this a few times

If God Will Send His Angels - One of the best songs on Pop...I would love for this to get setlist space over something like Gone or Staring at the Sun.....

There are more, but I don't want to ramble too much longer....I know part of my setlist is dream...but I am sure that a good chunk of it will be a reality.

We will know more come the 1st night but as you can from Elevation, they really didn't mix it up much. I am hoping that they change it up night after night.....but I don't see it happening. If you look back at history they don't normally do it. Notice the first 3 songs - After how many shows, they remained in the same place. I am tired of hearing the boots with UTEOTW........That songs needs a rest, along with IWF, NYD and BTBS....I can live with Streets and Pride, but give the others a rest.
