Oh I like the arrangement so far, in fact i wouldnt mind get one if I could but anywho suggestions:

SBS(live)
ISHFWILF(live)
WTSHNN(live)

ya dont have to take my advice tho!!!

 

[typhoon]

I think it'd work better if each of the six discs had some sort of theme that all the songs related to, like a time period in the band's history.

 

[RickFly]

great suggestions please keep them comming.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Yeah you could sorta split it up like the New Order boxset - Hits, Remixes, The Early Years and Live or something. Although Live would take maybe five discs on its own.

 

[tackleberry]

I think The Hands that Built America should be on there....somewhere

 

[RickFly]

i am going to put in on there for sure . i am thinking of having that song, and then right after have the studio version of pride.

[doctorwho]

The Acrobat: You didn't list "Elevation" (the song) anywhere on your CDs! I think that was a great "rocker" or live song!

 

[The_acrobat]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about that, I was actually thinking Elevation should go on the Rockers CD or the Live CD, with the little remix before hand. That was always cool. Whatever you wanna do with Elevation, do it. I overlooked that song. Sorry.

 

[RickFly]

i am not finished with the setlists yet. i am still in the process of deciding which songs to put on. also which live stuff to put on.
what live versions of: i still haven't found what im looking for, the fly, love rescue me, pride, and sunday bloody sunday, should i put on?

 

[ultraviolet7]

Well I'm not seeing Mofo, Do You Feel Loved, Last Night On Earth, If You Wear That Velvet Dress and Please from Pop (I don't dare suggest Miami which is one of my favourites but I know most fans hate it). Then you've got to have Ultraviolet (Light My Way) and Love is Blindness from AB. Lady With The Spinning Head, Salome (Zooromancer mix), Dirty Day (Junk Day Mix), Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Some Days Are Better Than Others, Zooropa. Then there's Desire, Hawkmoon 269 and Silver and Gold, The Unforgettable Fire and 40 you're missing.
And do yourself a favour: replace the Gone and Discotheque new mixes with the original versions which are miles better. That's my tuppence.

 

[RickFly]

[Joshua_Tree_Hugger]

I'll be back with more suggestions by "Love is Blindness" and "Can't Help Falling In Love" live from Zoo TV is a must (the Dublin '93 show would do well for that).

Also, "Bad" from Live Aid! Essential!
