As I was watching periscope and hearing soundcheck last night, it kind of struck me that the setlist before the encore is a near identical one to the Joshua Tree tour in 87... however, they're missing Bad, Gloria, 40 and even I Will Follow.
I don't really like the idea of Beautiful Day, Ultraviolet and Miss Sarajevo entering this kind of tour when it's more of a 30th anniversary tour. I would hope that the people going to this tour would want to hear 80's songs and not 90's.
If I was to come up with a better setlist, I'd imagine it look something like this.
1. Gloria
2. I Will Follow
3. A Sort of Homecoming
4. October
5. New Year's Day
6. Sunday Bloody Sunday
7. Pride (In the Name of Love)
8. MLK
9. Where the Streets Have No Name
10. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for
11. With Or Without You
12. Bullet the Blue Sky
13. Running to Stand Still
14. Red Hill Mining Town
15. In God's Country
16. Trip Through Your Wires
17. One Tree Hill
18. Exit
19. Mothers of the Disappeared
ENCORE:
20. Spanish Eyes
21. Bad
22. The Little Things That Give You Away (one exception)
23. 40
To me, that seems like a more appropriate throwback anniversary setlist.
