New Tour: Add 3, Take 3

[LCK]

If you could choose 3 songs to add to U2's set list (ones they haven't played in awhile) and take off 3 (maybe you're not too crazy about or they're simply overplayed)....

I would add:

An Cat Dubh/ Into the Heart (counts as one choice, they're almost inseparable)
I Fall Down (amazing song, even more amazing live)
Lady w/the Spinning Head

I would take off:

Mysterious Ways (like it, but its been done so much)
One (never a huge fave of mine)
Stuck in a Moment (blame the radio stations/ shopping malls etc for over-playing this endlessly. Plus, it was great with ATYCLB, but I somehow sense it won't fit well with the new album).

 

[gareth brown]

Hey, All three of those mentioned there in 'ones you'd like to see IN the setlist', possibly would have surfaced in mine (especially I Fall Down, I've been listening to The October LP loads recentley, much better if you leave albums alone for a while, then pick 'em up again...they sound much better) but alas, I'll have to make some different choices...

Paddy would Add: (Please note, I kind of feel everybody would like to hear Acrobat so that doesn't have to be added to my list )

Rejoice
Boy/Girl Ha ha! I wish!
The Electric Co.

Paddy would remove:

Pride-It's had it's day...it's slow, it's dull, and lacking around...hmm....let's say...99.9% of the power and energy present in the original 7". so I think I've had enough of that one...
Mysterious Ways-I agree it's a little overplayed...some songs are fine to become regular features of U2's set....this one is not one of them...again, lacks the energy of the original...
Walk On-Something wrong with it...that's all

 

[Jack In The Box]

I would add:

Tomorrow
Exit
Please (in a date of Elevation Tour they played this song)

I would remove:

With Or Without You
Pride
Stunk in a Moment...

[MrBrau1]

By the time they tour again it'll be like 2008!

 

[gareth brown]

Too bloody right...

 

[marik]

i can't believe there are people that could do without, "WOWY", and "One". These are simply great songs that U2 must perform forever!

 

[bono_man2002]

[Axver]

I agree about One, but have you seen WOWY from Boston or Mexico? That's terrible, and Slane's only tolerable. I'd most likely say something different if I were there, but I don't think it should be played any more because it just sounds so weak. Every few nights I could take, but it should not be permanent.

 

[bono_man2002]

agreed that WOWY isnt so great on meixco, but thats because bono had some chick ripping his head off for the most part

 

[TiaraGurl]

I agree with axver I think One and WOWY are pretty played out and it would be nicer to see them once in awhile. (although I have serious doubts about this since they are two of the "hits" that people expect to hear in concert)

I would not mind seeing
Electrical Storm
Running to Stand Still
Staring at the Sun (if they get it worked out finally)

Yeah but who knows with all the new talk I may have kids before U2 tour again.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Add:
A Sorta Homecoming
Discotheque or MOFO
Dirty Day

Subtract:
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Stuck in a Moment
Kite

 

[BostonAnne]

Add:

Two Hearts
Electric Co.
11 O'Clock Tick Tock

Ok, I have to cheat and add these:
Running to Stand Still
Please (full band version) (thanks dsmith2904 )

Delete (just for the next tour):

Bullet the Blue Sky
Until the End of the World
Desire

So I guess I'll have to take away 2 more..
Ok - if you exchange - I will Follow/Out of Control for Electric Co/11 O'Clock Tick Tock that evens out.

 

[innocent_eyes]

I would add:
-Acrobat
-Electrical Storm
-starin at the sun (full band NOT acoustic!)
-Electric co.
-Even better than the real thing

Take away:
-Stuck in a moment (though it is cool live!)
-Walk on (ditto!)
