- Pride (album version)
- Please (live from Rotterdam, since most of the world did like pop)
- Mysterious Ways (from the pop tour as well)
- Until The End of The World (from the elevation tour)
- Where The Streets Have No Name (played from anywhere, for everyone)
Well, does half an hour include the encore? Because after that, I think there would be a request for one.
I think that's a good set list, but its hard to balance slow and fast songs in such a small amount of air time. The best way to convince people is hit them right between the eyes with U2 live and in full flight... then it wouldn't really matter what songs were played. The atmosphere would hopefully be enough to sway even the harshest of critics.
P.S.
the best way to approach this topic is to ask yourself, what songs made you a U2 fan... which ones took a while for you to really enjoy (you should probably leave those ones out). That's how I made my list.
