cringe worthy start to second act.
wouldn't complain if I never saw Vertigo again, either.
What's your opinion on Ground Beneath her Feat, Saxver?

If they end with The Troubles, and can get Lykke Li for the show that'll be the featured DVD release, I wouldn't mind the penultimate song of the set to be I'm Not Your Baby. Having Lykke Li perform on both would be kind of special.
And your lack of a sense of humor, where did that go?
I haven't been on this board in a long time...glad to have a reason to be back and to bicker about fictional setlists.
As long as we're all in agreement that A Sort of Homecoming needs to have a sort of homecoming in a live setting, then we're good.
How you can call anything involving Zooropa cringeworthy is beyond me.
Though I only put One in my predicted sets because it's always going to be there. I'd love it to take a rest. A permanent one.
I love the studio version but the stripped down live performances on Elevation were nothing special. If they can do it live properly, capturing the studio version's magic, I'd be ecstatic. Could be cool on an arena tour.
This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now might be a really good opener. It's chanty and stuff.
Streets, then TIWYCRMN; to get that used up song out of the way.
I wouldn't mind if they opened every show with 11 O'clock Tick Tock and closed every show with Bad.
Oh well, at least the latter is half a chance of happening again sometime.
Wow. Just stumbled upon this amazing version of One. Probably my new favorite version.......they should play it like this on the next tour.....And check out that invisible snippet at the end.....

Getting Bad in that final bonus encore in Pittsburgh was the highlight of the entire show! 11:00 tick tock is on my bucket list, and I think there's definitely a very slim chance they'll at least play it again, hopefully at a show I'm at.
What is very clear in these comments is that some songs need to be cycled in and out of the shows. They have to play some of their classics but It would be nice to have some variety too. With that in mind I'd love it if they not play the following pairs on the same night. Ie; play one from each but not both
Ishfwilf or streets
One or wowy
Pride or uteotw
Bad or uf
The fly or mysterious ways
Bd or walk on
ISHFWILF is not swappable with Streets. No song is swappable with Streets. You can make the argument that any U2 song can be cycled out and its slot placed with a comparable song that covers the same emotional and sonic ground. But not Streets.
I agree about One/WOWY, and Fly/Mysterious Ways. And you don't need to worry about them playing TUF again, they probably won't, unfortunately (sigh).

I find it very hard to make setlists because there's 2 kinds of them; what I want them to play and what I think is a realistic setlist. I'd gladly throw out Pride for ANY OTHER SONG on the Unforgettable Fire, and I Will Follow for any other song on Boy. How about trading in Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Years Day for 2 hearts and Surrender? You want the Joshua Tree 3? How about; 1. Red Hill Mining Town, 2. Exit and 3. One Tree Hill!
I just tried making a realistic setlist, but found it too difficult. I just don't want to hear SBS, One, Streets, Pride or Beautiful Day again. I know I will, and that's okay, but I'm actually quite bored with those 5.
