LA #4 Setlist Party

[Hallucination]

There was a period on Vertigo where Fast Cars replaced Party Girl as the silly song for loose shows. A cool period. A cool period that ended just before U2 came to Australia and New Zealand.

I saw them play Fast Cars in NYC at MSG. It was pretty awesome cause I didn't expect it at all.

That transition is begging for God Part II.

that would be dirty too. if we wanna go quiet to loud...Sleep Like a Baby Tonight oddly just popped into my head? wouldn't fit at all thematically but it's a vocal display, Edge can have fun with the guitar, and then just slam into Bullet.

so God Pt II, NYD, Sleep Like a Baby....I'm sure we could get a running list of songs to move into EBW's slot. and then move the FULL BAND version of EBW to the encore maybe?

 

[nitebusnitebus]

my favorite part of the bullet rant this tour is the "you, me, the red and green..." up till the end.

the somebodies!

 

[yenlard]

I'm thinking the last night in LA they change it up a little. I said a little.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Anyone else feel like Hands is a huge killer after Bullet? We need something FIERCE after that amazing ride from Edge.

Longtime concert-goers, which tour had the most varied setlist?

 

[Axver]

That transition is begging for God Part II.

Every tour since 1992 has been begging for God Part II.

They even rehearsed it before Outside Broadcast.

 

[U2FanPeter]

I think the new songs sound super good live

That's why fans are clamouring for California and the other missing songs.

 

[yenlard]

Absolutely

 

[DRay9911]

EBW does not fit between WLCTT and Bullet at all.

i think wlctt ends the small segment that begins with invisible

ebw begins a new segment

don't listen to me, i'm exhausted

 

[Axver]

For night to night variation in both selection and order, enjoy:

U2 Lovetown Tour - U2 on tour

Axver will know maybe lovetown

That's so strange because God Part II was the bridge between the two eras. It should have been played along with Desire by Mirrorball Man.

 

[Sicy]

That's why fans are clamouring for California and the other missing songs.

Still a little sad they didn't play California for my shows. They like LA better

 

[nitebusnitebus]

I just want the Troubles and/or Bad to show up before the set ends

 

[prbiker15]

U2 Lovetown Tour - U2 on tour

My goodness.

 

[Axver]

In terms of songs played across an entire tour, 360 actually wins - it had 61 different songs, one ahead of Vertigo.

But then you would expect the most recent tours to have the widest selection, given the band have a much larger catalogue to draw upon than they did during Lovetown. Wide song selection does not necessarily mean greater changes from night to night - there was more nightly variation on Elevation than the very static Popmart, yet Popmart actually had four more different songs played across its entire length.

salivating thinking of Desire/God Pt II by Mirrorball Man

Know that feel.

 

[dazzlingamy]

Bono getting fiery!! Sermon time!

Yeah i don't like th ehands snippet, a crash down from BTBS then an awkward segue into Pride.

Very, very interesting. Thanks!

Love town was amazing even with Bono's throat problems

Yeah, that would've been so fucking cool. Alas.

all negativity aside, this tour probably has my favorite versions ever of UTEOTW. absolute fire, visually it's absolutely incredible, and the outro is sort of powerful

My favourite video of UTEOTW

here's a feed from the stands off the main stage in the correct perspective

[nitebusnitebus]

so I think we all agree that Bullet is great but what's around it isn't

Pride is perfectly fine and has a new energy this tour but it would nicely wrap up a set after WOWY I think

BD>WOWY doesn't work though and neither does Pride>WOWY. Bad>WOWY worked very well though and so did the Troubles.

man we all think too much about this.

salivating thinking of Desire/God Pt II by Mirrorball Man

I don't even know what to do with this notion. Simply would be been the greatest thing ever.
