Towards the end of the Vertigo tour, it started to rely on too many songs that had been previously played... So what I thought I would do is make a list with rarer songs, in a different arrangement, remove some songs as well... for example;

HAWAII

1. Vertigo
2. All Because Of You
3. Elevation
4. Out Of Control
5. Gloria
6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
7. Beautiful Day
8. One Tree Hill
9. City Of Blinding Lights
10. Miracle Drug
11. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
12. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
13. Fast Cars
14. The First Time
15. All I Want Is You
16. Where The Streets Have No Name
17. Walk On

18. Zoo Station
19. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
20. One

21. Window In The Skies
22. Yahweh
23. Kite

24. 40

Removed Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, Pride, With Or Without You... but kept One for the Zoo trilogy.

I think the next tour itself will drop a few of the older hits... and the new album will cater to a general audience.

Here is a basic idea of what the tentative N. American Spring 2006 stadium tour may have looked like if it had not been nixed.


Vertigo (City also used as an opener with Vertigo to follow)
I Will Follow or Out Of Control
Elevation
Until The End Of The World or Mysterious Ways (possibly both)
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
All I Want Is You or Bad
Beautiful Day
The First Time or Walk On or Stuck or Yahweh (all acoustic)
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love and Peace or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet the Blue Sky
Miss Sarajevo
Pride
Where the Streets Have No Name
One

Encore(s):
Mofo or Zoo Station
Discotheque or The Fly
If You Wear That Velvet Dress or Mysterious Ways
With Or Without You

City Of Blinding Lights or All Because of You
Original Of The Species or Crumbs From Your Table
Vertigo or 40

* several of the OR songs could be used in multiple combinations especially in the encore sections, some might be dropped (IE Mofo, opening the encore with Disco instead, etc.).
