CD1
Where the streets have no name
Out of control

A day without me
In a little while
A sort of homecoming
Mothers of the disappeared



Cd2
Mofo
The Electric Co.
I fall down
Surrender
Even better than the real thing
Last night on earth
Bullet the blue sky
Running to stand still
Staring at the sun
Trying to throw your arms around the world
Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me
Discotheque
Please
Love is blindness



Cd3
Elevation
Beautiful Day
Until the end of the world
New Years Day
Stuck in a moment
New york
I will follow
I still haven?t found what I am looking for
All I want is you
In gods country
Stories for boys
Gloria
Two hears beat as one
Angel of harlem
Mystery girl


Cd4
Eleven O?clock tick tock
Bad
Love rescue me
The fly
Pride
Miss Sarajevo
Ultra violet (light my way)
Lemon
With or without you
Mysterious ways
One
Dead man
Walk on

 

[RickFly]

i think i want to add love is blindness, any others i should include or take out please give me your opinions.

 

[typhoon]

Don't open with "Streets." It's a much more powerful song near the end of a set.

 

[MrBrau1]

Put the Boston DVD version of Gone in there somewhere.

 

[RickFly]

mmmm that could work. please keep suggestions coming.

 

[RickFly]

if not streets what should i open with then?

 

[MrBrau1]

Zoo Station works. Infact, that song sounds strange if it's not opening the set.

 

[RickFly]

i do agree, i just dont want to put all the greatest hits on the last cd. i love zoo station and may decide to put that as the opener but do you think it would sound good with out of control as the second song?

 

[MrBrau1]

I think so, but I like contrasts in my mixes.

 

[Edgette]

I vote for "Party Girl", "Seconds", "11'O'Clock Tick-Tock"

[Edgette]

Oh...

I forgot these...

"The Ocean", "An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart"

 

[RickFly]

i know its driving me crazy on what to take out and put in the set lists.

 

[ouizy]

Here are my suggestions:

The band plays I Will Follow and New Years Day as the #2 song a lot in shows. I would put them as #2.

How can you not have 40?

You have to add it as the last song of the last disc.

I would add Exit.

I would get rid of Miss Sarajevo.

I would use the ZOOTV order of Bullet, Running, and Streets as I think they sound the best that way witht teh helicopter sounds during the beginning of Running...

Looks good tho

 

[RickFly]

yea i am going to add 40, i do like the studio version of miss sarajevo better than the live one.

 

[RickFly]

what versions of these songs should i play?

streets - boston 2001, love town 12-26-89
sunday bloody sunday - rattle and hum or elevation version?
i will follow
until the end of the world
new years day

 

[AchtungJedi]

Lovetown Streets
Elevation version of SBS
Chicago 1988 version of I Will Follow
Dublin 1993 version of Until the End of the World (one of the greatest U2 song performances ever done, and certainly of this song)
Probably a lovetown version of New Year's Day

I suggest Unforgettable Fire from Chicago 1988. Great rendition.

 

[RickFly]

i am having a hard time deciding between rattle and hum sunday bloody sunday and also one from elevation.

 

[typhoon]

Probably a lovetown version of New Year's Day

The version they did on New Year's Day 1990 is a good choice.

And for the love of God, use the Rattle and Hum version of "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" and not a boring Elevation performance. The version recorded in Denver in '87 has a genuine urgency and anger in it; it was recorded while Bono was feeling exactly what the song was written about. The Elevation versions sounded tired and forced and went on for way longer than they were interesting. They should've retired the song in 1998.

 

[a-mole]

there is that boot of
U2 and Bruce Springsteen singing Stand by me
If you find that one.. put it in there!! It is awesome.. trust me!!!

well, I know you can find it on Kazaa (I got it tere) but the quality is not the best.. yet it is awesome

if you can, put Love is blindness in there.. it is good

and Whose gonna ride your wild horses I'd leave out, instead putting th eSydney popmart version of Daddy'S gonna pay for your crashed car

starting song.. hmm.. something rockin' for sure

Hm, tm, km, km might b enice too as an opening

but as said, zoostation is a great opening too

 

[RickFly]

i think i am going to keep wild horses, one of my all time fav. songs. i have been thinking about crashed car.

should i or should i not start with streets?

[RickFly]

[RickFly]

what do you think is the best versions of these songs?

i will follow
gone
i still havent found....
all i want is you

 

[RickFly]

i was thinking of putting a duet on 2 cds. i was thinking of one of the songs bono did with the corrs. should i do this?

 

[MrBrau1]

The Gone from Boston is very good. Another good Gone is from Sarajevo in '97, it's the tune he blew his voice out on, and it's awesome.

IWF-I like the Irving Plaza version.

ISHFWILF-I'd go w/ a Love Town, JT tour performance.

AIWIY-Again, the Lovetown performances were perfect, but the Elevation versions are good as well.

 

[RickFly]

i want dortmund in the worst way!!!

 

[bono_man2002]

all this sounds great...
RickFly, would it be possible to get a copy of your complation?

 

[RickFly]

sure, when i am done i will let everyone know.

i am going to start burning it today.

 

[bono_man2002]

[RickFly]

i just got back from being out of town, taking the day off from looking for a job and i am going to do this live compilation. i dont know if i need anything. maybe just send me 6 blank discs.

any suggestions on the set lists please help out.
