Hi there. I was wondering, with so many topics about 'Your Dream U2 setlist" why don't we make some fun out of it, and make a tour, with dream setlists. I have an idea of making like a body with a few songs that are unchangable and then have the rest to shift between the songs people want on their setlist.

This is an example body. Songs in italic are the ones that are changable.

Vertigo
I will follow
Elevation
Cry/The electric co.
Until the end of the world
New Year’s Day
Beautiful day
I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
The first time
Pride (in the name of love)
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Bad
Sunday bloody Sunday
Bullet the blue sky
Running to stand still
Where the streets have no name

The fly
Mysterious ways
With or without you
Window in the skies

Angel of Harlem
Desire
Vertigo

O.k., but you should leave a bit space for songs from the new album. Otherwise one might get a Vertigo-Retro setlist, just as the one, you constructed. Obviously not in the running order; I'd count at least six slots in the set permanently covered by tunes from the new album (Mercy being one of them ...):

1. New Song
2. New Song
3. New Song
4. New Song
5. New Song
6. New Song

Then I'd go for another 'new' one being played every night (at least for the first weeks ...), at least for the (big) rest of the world, not being in Japan and Hawaii:

7. Window In The Skies

Now, that we have covered one third of all possible setlist slots, we might concentrate on the most delicate matter here in this forum: Which songs to play from the 'Greatest Hits'?
Fixed and, I guess, nearly everybody's expectations are:

8. One (covering the early 90ies, a live anthem)
9. Where The Streets ...(covering TJT, a live anthem)

With these tunes you give also the many, many "one gig only"-freaks, what they want – and only the most bored U2 fans here really BELIEVE, that these tunes might be complete crap, too. They are masterpieces, whatever you will joke about them ...

Also in the 'Greatest Hits' category invade two tunes, that are of more recent date, even when I really don't appreciate one of those (before you ask: the elder):

10. Vertigo
11. Beautiful Day

With these four tracks as 'Greatest Hits' to be played as fixed ones in the set, the tradition tells us, that others might join the family – but we talk about a 'dream list'. So I suggest now, that in addition to the four crowd (and in parts even fan) pleasers, there will be five more slots reserved for 'Greatest Hits'. These will have rotating, topic-related tunes – tunes, that will be played either/or, switched from night to night:

12. The soul, that's dancing:
I Still Haven't Found .../Stuck .../

13. The rocking 'dance' punch:
Even Better.../Mysterious Ways/Lemon/Discotheque/Elevation

14. The political/social protest hymn:
Sunday Bloody Sunday/Bad/Please/Bullet The Blue Sky

15. The big ballad:
With Or Without You/All I Want Is You/Stay/
Staring At The Sun/Sometimes You Can't Make it ...

16. The 'early' rocker:
Out Of Control/I Will Follow/New Year's Day/Pride

Now, after having six slots for new tracks, four fixed 'Greatest Hits' and another five 'Greatest Hits' being varied from night to night (this is enough for the crowd pleasing, friends!), up to six slots for 'obscure songs from U2's past'. These could remain empty, but show some courage. In my dream setlist, U2 decide also to fill them with different surprises from night to night. I fill in my personal requests:

17. The Unforgettable Fire
18. God Part II
19. October or Wave Of Sorrow
20. Dirty Day or Exit
21. Crumbs From Your Table
22. Drowning Man

2. God Part II
3. Desire
4. Even Better Than The Real Thing

7. An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart
8. Exit
9. Hawkmoon 269
10. Angel Of Harlem (acoustic)
11. Promenade (acoustic)
12. Bad/Lost Cause (snippet)/Sweetness Follows (snippet)/Fake Plastic Trees (snippet)
13. Please
14. Wake Up Dead Man
15. Where The Streets Have No Name

20. Discotheque
21. Your Blue Room
22. Acrobat
23. Mercy

25. Vertigo

Tell me you wouldn't have an awesome time at a show like that.
 
That was an awesome show until you ruined it with Vertigo after 40.

I just like the song. It's such an awesome fit right after 40 too. Easily the best spot for it. Gives the crowd something fun to go out on. I've always thought the COBL--->Vertigo segue was garbage.
 
Really? I thought closing with Vertigo was lame. It didn't fit as a closer at all. Now Bad, that's how you end a gig. 40, eat your heart out.

Ax, how many shows contain the Bad/40 segue? I could've sworn I've seen it a few times.

Seven I think. What gigs did you see?

Bad was used as the closer on more occasions, but with other snippets, like People Have The Power.
 
This is just off the top of my head.

"See" is a figure of speech, meaning that such a closing duo has crossed my path of vision on a setlist a few times. :wink: I've actually only been to one gig. :drool:

That's interesting though. Any noteworthy performance of it? I've been interested in that transition for a while now, but have never actually heard it live, which is why I was hesitant to use it on my own list.

Ah. So you won't be going to a U2 concert ever? Because a snippet of that song will probably be the best we ever get.
