Hi all. When U2 tour next, which songs would you like to hear? How about dropping some of the standards (Streets, With or Without You)? I'd love to hear a few songs from Zooropa. But please guys, keep The Fly!
The next tour - songs you'd like to hear.

How about ISHFWILF? instead of WOWY....but then again I love all the standards.
I really wanna hear, So Cruel and Acrobat, maybe electrical storm ....or how about the songs they never played live before? (just a thought, although if they never played some songs live I don't see any reason why they would do so this time around....)

First of all, I'd prefer NO acoustic songs. They lack.
Second, songs like "New years day", "Pride", "ISHFWILF", "Bad",
"SBS", "Streets", "One", "Mysterious ways", "I will follow", "Beautiful day" and possibly "walk on" are the reasons that 50% of the audience comes to the concert. Not everyone knows all those other tracks like we do. I think they should play a lot of their big hits. Maybe rotate some of them in and out, but don't drop them.
I hope they bring back a full version of "God's country", "Stay", and "Ultraviolet". Keep the full band version of "Angel of Harlem" too, that was cool. Yeah, don't drop "Streets" no matter what. That'd be NUTS.

Or maybe put Bono behind the piano again and Edge can play the acoustic guitar.I don't think they will drop many if any of what some here consider to be overplayed classics. We are overexposed, we hear these songs all the time and have been to many U2 shows and I understand those of you who want more variety. I would love to hear UF, ASOH, IGC, RHMT, Heartland, Ultraviolet/Acrobat/Love is Blindness but I understand those are songs the boys might not be able to perform live and that's why they don't do it. What I'm trying to say is, they NEED those 'overplayed' songs to keep the casual fan coming in. The average person knows NYD, SBS, Pride, WOWY, Streets, One, and that's why they come to U2 shows. If they start playing a lot of lesser known radio songs or album 'deep cuts' instead of well known stuff, their tours would end up less successful, realistically. Though we diehards who appreciate their deep catalog want uncommon songs, they have to deliver what sells. They are a big money business. Still, I have my wish list like everybody else, and I hope they will add at least some surprise songs now and then. Plus making lists like this is fun, and harmless. So let's do it anyway!

I thought they sounded great in the two stadium tours, but bizarrely, I agree that they were a bit boring in Elevation.The_acrobat said:

Right, that is exactly what they will do, like all past tours.
New songs + top standards = more songs than they will play in one evening.
Mind you I hope the take a page out of Springsteen's book and up the song count a bit...22 songs is kinda short...

Honestly, I don't see them playing anything off Achtung except for
One, Mysterious ways, Real thing (sometimes), UTEOW (hopefully.) From Zooropa, sorry to say, probably only Stay. From POP, I can see Gone and Please, and the acoustic Staring at the sun.

I've got to agree with everyone who says Promenade. Finish a concert with it after playing Love is Blindness and I'd be in heaven. It's a shame that anything other than Stay probably won't get played from Zooropa again. I'd love to hear Dirty Day, Lemon or Daddy's Gonna Pay.

Funny but one particular song is not mentioned here but I personally feel that it deserves to be played live again as its one of my all time favourites. Out of all 15 shows that I have seen, I havent heard it live (yet!)
What song you ask? Why its Hawkmoon 269 preferably in its entirety not a snippet that has been performed over in the States during Elevation tour in 2001. A full song would be great! Id die happy if they play it live when Im there!

I'd probably be a minority here by saying Stories For Boys and Electric Co.. . .
Also, a Sort of Homecoming has become one of my favorite songs . . . but I doubt Bono could sing it with anywhere near the intensity he had in the 80s. The Slane performance was a horrible indicator, given that he had full-blown laryngitis voice that night. . . Same with Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses -- from some of the recordings I've heard, Bono sounded like he had trouble with this one in the early 90s (unless he chose to sing it that way . . )
Enough with Bullet the Blue Sky already.
Kick out Until The End and replace it with Last Night on Earth.
In God's Country, and not acoustic. Same for Please.

Love is Blindness, preferably with an extended guitar solo, cos that rocked! And Maybe bring Daniel Lanois on 2 play Pedal Steel as well, that wud truly kick arse.
Please ala Popmart, not shitty acoustic
Miami, with the segue into Bullet the Blue Sky
October - why did they ever stop playing that!

Keep the Fly! That's just the best thing in the whole Boston Video!
Drop Bad - its lost all its power. Same goes for New Year's Day, WOWY. But Keep Pride + Streets!
