I am going to the 5/21 show at MSG and I absolutely cannot wait! I'm just wondering what the setlist will be since there's only one night... will it be the first or second night set or a totally different one? AHH I'm so excited!!!
 
my guess would be a pretty standard setlist with maybe one or two surprises

i bet they play bad, and maybe a surprise song like...new york

agreed. can't wait til next week.
 
I believe they have rehearsed New York, so I think it'll be played.
 
I think also them playing 'New York' will be played as a tribute to the city.

i cant imagine much variation. i was at the three shows in the fall of 2001 and there was hardly any set variation. very disappointing actually.

That's my current prediction. Maybe Out Of Control somewhere too, perhaps in place of ACD/ITH.
 
No changes. Standard setlist with City of Blinding Lights opener.
The only change I can see is throwing in Bad in the main set.
 
I think it may be a little longer than the other shows this leg...as its New York and the only show on this leg and alll.....

So Yeah, Bad/New York/Out Of Control (or 11OTT) Added to Axvers set.....Would be nice.

On the other hand, wont be too suprised if we arent in for a fairly basic set.

They had BETTER play OOTS. I'm dying to hear that song - the live version is really gorgeous. And I'd rather hear Gloria and The Ocean than ACD/ITH. This would my ideal setlist for the only show of the tour I'll be at...

I don't think that they'll mix it up all that much to the New York show. This one would be fun:

Vertigo
Elevation or Until The End Of The World
The Electric Co.
An Cat Dubh / Into The Heart
New York
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love And Peace Or Else

They won't mix it up this month in NY, but definitely will be very exciting when all those shows come around in the fall!!!
 
Boy...the lot of you sure are trying hard not to get your hopes up for anything out-of-the-ordinary at MSG this Saturday. I seem to remember a few surprises during the two MSG shows on the first leg of the Elevation tour. :rolleyes:

Axver... New York instead of Elevation, no? Not instead of Electric Co.!

Elevation's an important crowd interaction song, so I don't see it cut. I reckon they'll do New York instead of Electric Co. if they want it early in the set.

Hopefully, though, it'll be later. Instead of Mysterious Ways would work. UTEOTW --> Fly --> New York would rock.
 
Well they did a surprise concert in NY before going on the official tour and that concert had a lot of unheard songs like I Will Follow, She's a Mystery To Me, Out Of Control, and I wouldn't be surprised if those made an appearance.
 
I think it could be like this...

City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
Elevation
I Will Follow or Out Of Control
The Ocean
Beautiful Day
New Year's Day
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love And Peace Or Else
Bullet The Blue Sky
Running To Stand Still
Pride

She's A Mystery To Me
