Have another poll. Vote for which HTDAAB songs you would like to be kept in or dropped from the setlist on the 360 Tour, or in a couple of cases, debuted. Don't feel compelled to vote for all songs; if you really have no strong opinion either way, don't vote for a song. I realise some songs, such as Miracle Drug, were already dropped during the later stages of Vertigo, while Crumbs wasn't played much at all, but I'm choosing to use 'keep' in the sense of "it was played at some point on Vertigo and should be kept somewhere in the set on 360". 'Drop' can simply be interpreted as "stay dropped" in these cases.
My own feelings:
Vertigo: don't care either way. I've always accepted that it would be played on 360, even though it'd never appear in any ideal setlist of mine. So no vote.
Miracle Drug: DROP. One of the rare U2 songs that's worse live. If they can make it better than the studio version (and if Bono would kindly stop trying to sing over Edge's verse!), I'd be happy for it to stay.
SYCMIOYO: DROP a thousand times over. Staggeringly boring. It didn't hold my interest at concerts I attended and I fell asleep during it on U2 3D.
LAPOE: KEEP. Fun rocker. There are plenty of better songs, of course, but it's a worthy song for HTDAAB representation.
COBL: KEEP. See LAPOE, except for the "fun rocker" part of course.
ABOY: DROP. Sub-par rocker. I'd even prefer Elevation over this.
AMAAW: DEBUT. It'd be pretty fun as a stripped down song.
Crumbs: KEEP. One of the better HTDAAB songs. If they can play it right, it wouldn't be a bad song to rotate into the setlist sometimes. I wouldn't want it to be a staple or anything, but a few performances wouldn't go astray in my books. Obviously, this is a fairly outlandish hope and its seven Vertigo performances will probably remain its seven only performances.
One Step Closer: No vote. I want it to debut, it's my favourite HTDAAB song, but a huge stadium production like this is not the place for it. Hold onto it for later.
OOTS: DROP. For the love of god! Never play this song again.
Yahweh: DROP. For the love of yahweh! Never play this song again.
Fast Cars: KEEP. The new Party Girl, and more interesting to boot.

Talk about sleeping during a song!
You can only have so many songs in one night!
