What songs should U2 play every night?

[VertigoGal]

I know a lot of people feel their setlists are too static, and maybe they have too many "staples." But what songs (excluding ones from the current album) do you think should be staples? For instance, most people think Streets should be played every show...don't be afraid to be flamed for choosing terrible songs like One!

mine are:
Streets
One
Bad
The Fly
Mysterious Ways
Beautiful Day

and let's be realistic, please, no one say Dirty Day.

 

[Dusty Bottoms]

Streets is the only one.

Everything else could be rotated.

 

[I'm Ready]

in gods country

 

[U2mixer]

Streets
RTSS
Bullet
Zoo Station
Wild Horses
I Still Haven't Found
Please (full band version NOT acoustic)
Miami
One Tree Hill (YEH, I know!)

 

[Axver]

Where The Streets Have No Name, Bad, The Unforgettable Fire, One Tree Hill, Heartland, New Year's Day, Acrobat, Gone, Gloria, The Electric Co., 11 O'clock Tick Tock.

Even just half one night, half the next would be fine.

 

[Carmelu2fan]

Pride
With or without you
Vertigo
Streets
Mysterious
The Fly
New years
I will Follow

 

[Mirrorball Man]

Zoo Station
Mysterious Ways
The Fly
Miami would very cool
Last Night On Earth
New Years Day

 

[AtomicBono]

Every night, ever? Or just for this tour? For this tour, from what they've played so far...


Every fuckin' night:
Vertigo once
Sometimes
Love and Peace or Else
City of Blinding Lights
Original of the Species
Streets
One
The Fly
At least one song from Boy/October (doesn't matter which one, though I'd vote for The Electric Co., I think they should mix it up every night)

Almost every night (except when they really wanna mix things up):
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Beautiful Day
New Year's Day
Zoo Station

Bad, I think, should be played at about half the shows... maybe a little less...it's too special a song to play all the time. I don't know. I'm weird. Plus I wouldn't want Bono to strain his voice too much.

Songs that can get dropped/rotated for the third leg:
Pride
Bullet
Running (I would rather them not drop this, but I'd also rather see Miss Sarajevo)
Elevation
Miracle Drug (it's a great song but it never really took off live for me...)
Yahweh (Original is better...but I won't complain if they play both. I just wish that Yahweh live was more like the alternate version)
Vertigo (2nd time. It can close shows, just no need to play it twice)
Still Haven't Found

Songs they should add for the third leg:
Gone
Mofo
Please
Dirty Day
11 'O Clock Tick Tock
Ultraviolet (more realistic, anyway, than Acrobat)
Crumbs From Your Table
A Man and a Woman

that's 8 to make up for the 8 dropped.

edit: sorry I didn't read the part about excluding HTDAAB... but I like my post so I'm keeping it

They "should" play, what they like to perform - and they do so ...

 

[INDY500]

I think it highly unlikely that U2 will ever play a show again that doesn't include Beautiful Day, One and Vertigo. The Live8 set. But that's just a guess on my part, I could very well be proven wrong. I just want to hear Bad when they return to Chicago.

Zoo Station, Streets (obviously!), With or without you, one, crumbs, vertigo (it is the title of the tour after all). ISHFWILF.

There are others that should be played often, but not necessarily every night.
