U2's LAST SETLIST EVER!

[Niceman]

Alright, let's imagine that U2 are going off to live in space in a giant lemon, and they are going to play one last setlist. The last setlist ever! Here's the kicker - It will only be 10 songs! What should it be?


I was thinking:

1. Yahweh
2. Desire
3. Until the End of the World
4. Gloria
5. The Fly
6. New Year's Day
7. Bad
8. With or Without You
9. Where the Streets have No Name (including the extended POPMART bit)
10. Acrobat

 

[Axver]

1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. One Tree Hill
3. The Unforgettable Fire
4. Heartland
5. City Of Blinding Lights
6. 11 O'clock Tick Tock
7. Acrobat
8. Gone
9. Bad
10. 40

 

[Niceman]

Hmm.. Yeah I would love a last "Oh you look so beautiful!"

1. Yahweh
2. Desire
3. Until the End of the World
4. The Fly
5. City of Blinding Lights
6. One Tree Hill
7. Bad
8. With or Without You
9. Where the Streets have No Name (including the extended POPMART bit)
10. Acrobat

 

[SiW87]

For U2's last concert they ever do, which I will be at, probably either in Croke Park, MSG, or Boston:

1. City of Blinding Lights
2. Acrobat
3. Heartland
4. When I Look At the World
5. Miracle Drug
6. The Fly
7. Bad
8. In God's Country
9. Where the Streets Have No Name
10. 40 (No brainer)

Man... only 10?


Speaking of which, what venue do you guys think would they do their final concert at?

 

[monkeyskin]

It would have to be in Dublin wouldn't it?

1. MoFo
2. Out of Control
3. Pride
4. God Pt II
5. Stay
6. Sometimes You Can't Make It...

okay it's probably cheating having the merged songs but some of these songs fit perfect so. Plus, it's their last show.

1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. Until The End Of The World

I can think of many more but threw in One for token sake.

[Niceman]

LAST NIGHT ON EARTH will have to be played

SMB

yeah, I was toying with that idea...

 

[NebraskaU2]

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Bono mentioned the last song he would sing at the last U2 concert would be Amazing Grace. I believe it was in Bill Flanagan's book At The End of The World. For those of you who have not read this yet I would suggest doing so, it is very entertaining.

Yes, I have a bootleg from the Johua Tree Era where they sing it. I will have to look for it to confirm but I am pretty sure they sing it at the end of Electric Co.

Thanks!!

 

[kcrays]

01. Last Night On Earth
02. Out Of Control
03. MLK
04. New Years Day
05. Zoo Station
06. A Sort Of Home Coming
07. Streets
08. Kite
09. Gone
10. Mercy


Not sure that I've nailed the order, but the general idea is the first 2 songs are the huge blow out party before they leave,
MLK is the rest after the party before they leave.

NYD...well there has to be hit and it's a new day for the band...in space

Kite's chorus makes it fit for me...Gone, cause they're gone...and Mery because they damn well better play it before heading to space....and it starts off in a place that seems similar to gone (lyrically).

Note if I was only picking my favorite songs roughly 1/2 wouldn't be on the list.
