Nothing from Zooropa, Pop, R&H, UF. And I still think that list is fantastic.

And some people say they want PRIDE(tired and boring, not even close to the energy from the mid 80's) in it? What the fuck?!
That said, I don't believe that this will be the opening setlist. But I do believe and hope these songs will be played on the tour frequently. I'm just disappointed there is no Crumbs or Original in this set.

I don't know but I've got a sense that this will be their greatest tour to date. there seems to be a real desire form the band, at least from these rumors to "educate" casual fans with the older lesser known material, trying to emphasise that U2 isn't necessarily a singles band but rather have always been an album band. The "hidden" gems they have is unequaled and in fact should be "hidden" no more.

True...
In reality, I wouldn't be surprised if they had 5-7 different setlists in their bag...ready to pull out at their disposal. Every "rumored" different setlist has had different songs, order and length.
And another thing to think about...Noel Gallagher (of Oasis fame) once said something to the extent of the reason why they didn't change their setlists around was so that "the audience couldn't (complain) about what song they played in Seattle and not their town (absoultely paraphrased)".
If you think about how easy it is to get bootlegs and the power of the internet (Itunes, P2P, DC++, etc), there is no reason to keep a stable setlist (except for stage design reasons). Just about everyone can get their hands on just about every U2 show, some in less than a couple of days! With that technology, maybe the band wants to put different material out there to play and have others listen to (seeing as some tours have had quite a stable setlist)...and knowing the avaliablity of the recordings, U2 may feel as if anyone at anytime could hear "what they played in (insert your town here)".
Just food for thought...and hoping that at least one of the shook up setlists makes it to April 1.
Blue Room said:I have to say I was looking forward to Crumbs and Original of the Species live. They may turn up eventually, at least one of them. I think they are the Kite of this tour, just not ready for prime time yet but will probebly appear eventually.
That being said, having Electric Co, An Cat Dubh, Running To Stand Still, Zoo Station and The Fly on the list MORE than make up for it. I believe there are more suprises also. Wait until they play more than 2 nights in a row in a city!

SPOILER: Setlist preview/prediction
Please stop reading here if you don't want an educated preview/prediction of the setlist U2 is preparing for the kickoff of the Vertigo Tour next week in San Diego.
This is the current "word on the street" (as we've heard it from our folks in L.A.) regarding the expected setlist U2 will be playing. As always, things can change before showtime.
