U2 In Your Living Room

[Nate Dogg]

Ok, here's the deal...U2 will be arriving at your house to play a 9-song set (the last song will serve as the encore). You get to pick the setlist. They will not play anything they haven't already played live before (so no "Acrobat"). They will play everything in it's most recent arrangement, also...to keep it realistic (so no Zoo TV-style "Running To Stand Still", for instance)...Here's mine...

1.City Of Blinding Lights
2.The Fly
3.Until The End Of The World
4.Sunday Bloody Sunday
5.Stay [Faraway, So Close]
6.Bad
7.Where The Streets Have No Name
8.One
------
9.40


What would you have them play?

 

[Axver]

1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. A Sort Of Homecoming
3. Bad
4. The Unforgettable Fire
5. New Year's Day
6. The Electric Co.
7. The Fly
8. God Part II

9. Gone

Would like to include 11 O'clock Tick Tock, but the Elevation Tour arrangement can't even hold a candle to the eighties performances, so ...

I keep thinking of using Hawkmoon 269 instead of City Of Blinding Lights. They both have the gorgeous slide guitar intro live, but I think I'll keep COBL for now.

If only! Here's how I imagine it...U2 in my basement (where the lounge is - don't worry, it's a nice basement, I'm sure U2 would like it) with every single TV in the house set up behind them. I'd be flipping the channels, of course. They'd also have a little PopMart arch, which I would steal from the McDonald's sign on the highway... And every song would rock! No acoustic bullshit.

This is an EXCELLENT thought exercise and I am going to have to take some time to give this some serious thorough thought.

What would you have them play?

 

[Zoots]

They'd also have a little PopMart arch, which I would steal from the McDonald's sign on the highway

Your list rocked, btw! You're such a 90s girl, it seems!
