[astepcloser24]

I'd love to hear (off the top of my head):

One
One Tree Hill
Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Stuck in a Moment
In a Little While
Original of the Species
Last Night On Earth

 

[Outsider]

There's quite a few I'd like to hear, but my top 4 are:

Please
Mofo
Love Is Blindness
Gone

Nice !! ME too! MOFO love!!

 

[romi]

VertigoX17


just kidding. I could go a whole tour without hearing that song and not feel bad about it

 

[edgeplaytheblue]

One Tree Hill
Ultra Violet
Acrobat
Red Hill Mining Town (which is impossible)
The Unforgettable Fire
Mofo
Exit

 

[monsieur fly]

Two Hearts Beat As One
Exit
Wire
God Part 2
Last Night On Earth
Lemon
Acrobat
Dirty Day
Mofo
Golden Eye (a very subjective fantasy I know!)
Ultra Violet
Even better Than The Real Thing

Songs that have to go- Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky, Pride. These three "anthems" are sounding tired. Plus, it's about time U2 rediscovered some irony.

 

[Clawgrabber]

Electrical Storm
Mofo
Ultraviolet
The Unforgettable Fire
Please
Zooropa
DIRTY DAY

And that stomping version of Discotheque from the Vertigo Tour

 

[digitize]

The ones that have poor chances:

HMTMKMKM, Love and Peace or Else, COBL, Kite, Lemon, Discothèque, MOFO, If God Will Send His Angels, Gone, Angel of Harlem

I'd say that COBL has an excellent chance... it's one of only three Bomb songs that made it to the end of the Vertigo Tour, and they have to carry something over that's not Vertigo. That would probably be at least COBL or Sometimes...Own, and the former is the amazing live song.

Also, I personally think that Angel of Harlem is a given for the next tour... and that we haven't seen the last of Disco and Lemon.

 

[digitize]

But here are all the songs I'd like to be played on the next tour, in order by album:

I Will Follow
Cry / Electric Co.
Gloria
October
Tomorrow (heh, yeah right)
Party Girl
New Year's Day
Sunday Bloody Sunday (OCCASIONALLY)

[StaySafeTonight]

Stay- The new acoustic arrangement
The Fly & With Or Without you- with Bono actually SINGING them instead of TALKING THROUGH them!
Lemon- I see them seriously trying it out this time around- If Bono is up for it
Discotheque
One Tree Hill- After hearing their amazing performance of it in '06 why not?!?!
Streets- Of course! No more of Bono screaming AFFRIIIICAHHHHHH!!! though. please. we get it.
Electrical Storm- Most likely not to happen but a guy can dream
Even Better than the real thing- They haven't played this one since '01. It's about time.
In a Little While- Full song. Not just snippeted!
Bad
Gone
Stuck in a moment- Acoustic arrangement
Elevation- As long as they play it like on the Elevation tour. The Vertigo version was BORING.
As many of the new songs as possible

Agree that most of those have a poor chance, but COBL I think will appear in most of the sets, it's a great song live and one of the highlights of the Vertigo tour.

I also have a feeling that with all the talk of having the new record being an amalgamation of UF and Achtung Baby, even Pop as well, that we will hear more songs from those albums.

The last tour we heard some songs from Boy that hadn't been played for years like An Cat Dubh, Cry, Into The Heart etc. It would be great if the band could refer back to The Unforgettable Fire on this tour and even though they play Bad and Pride quite regularly now, it would be great to hear A Sort of Homecoming, The Unforgettable Fire and Wire on the next tour, it seems to link in with some of the new tunes and feel of the new album.

The Vertigo tour also had quite a few songs from Achtung Baby and that was als another highlight, partic hearing Zoo Station and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. Maybe they will play Until The End Of The World more often this time or bring back Even Better Than The Real Thing, that hasn't been heard since the PopMart tour, apart from a few occasions.

What a cracking list! I couldn't agree more. I hope that Bono will tackle Lemon again, now his spellbinding Zoo TV croon has returned. To sum up the opinions I've read, I'd say there is a general desire among the fans for U2 to play their 90s stuff again instead of apologising for it. What are the chances of that? I'm not sure. It was discouraging to read Edge's comments about Last Night On Earth in U2 by U2. He effectively said they'd never do it live because it lacks the magic of NYD etc. For me that is completely wrong- it rocked harder than anything on the popmart tour and was a timely reminder that when he puts his mind to it, Bono can actually play some decent guitar.

Yes, a good call. I'm getting tired of the preaching. It's why U2 got such a bad name in the late eighties. Yes, Bono does a lot of good work but there are more subtle ways of conveying a message, through irony for instance, which is why I thought Zoo Tv was so effective. I also think the preaching saps the show of energy and wastes Bono's voice.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I can only imagine the anticipation of the setlists parties, waiting for the song chosen for this tour. When they played An Cat Dubh, I could not believe my ears.

UF is what I am expecting and waiting for.

 

[Purplereign]

UF is what I am expecting and waiting for.

. . . that would be to fantabulous for words

replace Pride, New Years Day and One with, gee . . . . Gone, Bad & The Fly and all my christmases . . . hot damn . . . all at once
