What should truly be on the NEXT tour?

[BigMacPhisto]

What songs should really make next tour's standard setlists?

Out Of Control: Classic early song that hasn't been played much at all lately......just as fun live as "I Will Follow", which also is a good choice for regular play time.

I Fall Down or October: Yes, "Gloria" live was fun to see, but these two tracks are amazing......would be great if they pulled them out of retirement.

The Unforgettable Fire: If they can play it right in concert (and they have before), it should make a return.

Bad: Their greatest live track. Should be in every concert.

Where The Streets Have No Name: I just can't imagine a tour without this song.

Red Hill Mining Town: Maybe?

Desire: Fun live track that wasn't played this tour (if I remember correctly), so it'd be good to bring it back.

All I Want Is You: Played a great deal on the European leg, would be great to have it as a setlist standard.

Even Better Than The Real Thing: MIA for quite some time, would be a great number to represent Achtung Baby with.

Until The End Of The World: Always amazing rocker that's great to have, especially if the next album doesn't have as many loud numbers as HTDAAB

Zooropa: Have this come before, EBTTRT......it could be the next tour's equivalent of "Zoo Station/The Fly".....

Staring At The Sun: Hardly played in recent memory......easy to do acoustic number, but it would be great if they finally got a full band version just right.

Beautiful Day: Still fantastic.

Walk On: Bring back the full band version! This and "Bad" would create the ultimate closing section.

Electrical Storm: Why hasn't this been played?

Vertigo: Will be expected.




The Band Should Surely Drop:

Pride - Been played enough, eh?
One - Unless they can revamp it....
Elevation - New version was cool, but it's time for retirement.
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - Great tune, but it's kind of a moment in time thing.....
Miracle Drug/LAPOE - Just really album tracks that I wouldn't expect hearing on future tours.

 

[Axver]

What SHOULD they play? Weeeellll ... this is going to be fun!

I realise that's 43 songs, but U2 have played more than that amount of songs this tour. Add on nine new songs and you have fifty over the whole tour (which Vertigo has almost hit), and that's quality variety. Enough material for two setlists. They could really mix that stuff up and excite people: I think my selection has something for everyone from the casual fan to the diehard who thinks it'd be really cool to hear Adam sing the end of Your Blue Room live.

The Band Should Drop:
- One
- Pride
- SYCMIOYO
- Miracle Drug
- With Or Without You
- ISHFWILF
- ABOY
- Sunday Bloody Sunday

[JMScoopy]

[Lemonfix]

They brought back a lot of Boy songs this tour, it would be great if next tour they could dust off some from October or War.

 

[bono_man2002]

But I want to hear a set full of Ashlee/Jessica Simpson covers!

Me too, but thats just another Acrobat situation.....

 

[Axver]

Me too, but thats just another Acrobat situation.....

I heard they're rehearsing a Britney Spears medley though!

42 songs + 10 new songs... 52 songs and lots of changes on multiple nights and between legs

Band Should Drop
I will follow (great song but overplayed. of course it could make some nights)

The Electric Co. (the gem of this tour, being played again on a regular basis will make it lose its magic)

Pride (tired and overplayed)

Still haven't found (tired and overplayed)

With or without you (tired and overplayed)

Bullet The blue Sky (I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG, but it's overplayed and Vertigo Tour Version was a big decrease comparing to Elevation Tour or Zoo TV)

One (needs something new)

Beautiful Day / Elevation / Stuck in a moment (2 tours are enough for them)

Vertigo / Miracle Drug / Sometimes / Yahweh (maybe appear sometimes but not on a regular basis)

All Because of You ( NEVER MORE )

Songs that definitely need to go (but probably won't)

- Beautiful Day

- Elevation
- Pride
- Bullet
- WOWY

 

[tommycharles]

Why all the Beautiful Day hate? It still rocks...in fact this tours version is much better than Elevation, I think.

As far as what I'd like to see come back... God Pt II.

 

[Axver]

- When I Look At The World (I can't believe this song has only been played once)

And it wasn't even played, just snippeted.

- The Wanderer (minus The Edge's "wah wah wandering" )

I loved that.

[2861U2]

keep One

drop Streets

Id pick One over WTSHNN anyday. Its just a better and more powerful song IMO. If I was to go to a show and not hear One, I would be truly upset. But if I was to not hear Streets, it'd be ok. Yes, its good live, but its just not a One.

To each their own

 

[thelaj]

Okay, typical concert 24 songs:

8 from the new album leaving 16

I think we should accept that One, SBS and Streets will be played (and pride if bono's chciago dvd speech is to be believed)

That leaves 12, of which 4 are likely to be unusual and the other 8 are popularist.

Example setlist:
1. New Song
2. New Song
3. Beautiful Day
4. Out of Control
5. Gone
6. New Song
7. New Song
8. City of Blinding Lights
9. All I Want is You
10. Tomorrow
11. New Song
12. New Years Day
13. Sunday Bloody Sunday
14. New Song
15. New Song
16. One
17. Bad
18. Where The Streets Have No Name

19. Vertigo
20. Mysterious Ways
21. With or Without You

22. One
23. Walk On
24. New Song

And it wasn't even played, just snippeted.

BLASPHEMY. WILATW deserves so much more than simple snippetry. It's probably one of the only songs on ATYCLB that I love.

I loved that.

Oh, it's not all bad. I just think Edge sounds a little like a...um...naff when he sings it. His other falsetto work in the song is top-notch, though.

 

[pepokiss]

I think that in the nest tour, Vertigo should close a set.. the main set or the encore 1.. it's amazing *s at twickenham broadcast*
