So, in my dream, U2 had announced that they would be making a surprise appearance in a very small venue (it was about the size of the Saturday Night Live studio) in downtown Salt Lake City. I didn't think I would be able to make it into the venue, but I went down there anyways to at least catch a glimpse of all the guys. There was a huge line in front of the venue of people trying to get in and the city police had closed off the entire street from traffic due to the humongous crowd.
U2 landed on the roof of the venue via helicopter, went into the venue and rehearsed a few songs, and then came outside to greet the fans and take pictures and sign autographs. Everybody had vinyl records and CD's, mainly of Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. I was in the front of the line, holding out my vinyl of POP when Bono spotted it, shouted for Edge to come with him, and they both ran over to me. They had the whole band sign it and then talked with me about how I was the only person there who brought POP to get signed. They then gave me a card to take up to Paul McGuinness after the show to receive every U2 record on vinyl, autographed by the band, and a guitar signed by the Edge (there was some other stuff, but I forgot to write it down). Bono then ushered me inside the venue. I was the first person inside. I sat down and had some pizza with the band and they asked me what song I would like them to play more than any song and I replied with, "Hawkmoon". Bono said they could for sure play that one.
They then set me up with my own little platform that was raised above where the rest of the crowd would be. It faced the stage and allowed me perfect view. As I recall, the stage was set up exactly as it was when the band played at the SNL studio.
The band came on stage and played a 13 song main set, followed by a three song encore. From what I can remember, they played this:
1 - I Will Follow
2 - Beautiful Day
3 - *can't remember*
4 - *can't remember, I wanna say Get On Your Boots though*
5 - City of Blinding Lights
6 - Mofo
7 - Gone
8 - Lemon
9 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
10 - All I Want Is You
11 - Bad
12 - Where The Streets Have No Name
13 - Mysterious Ways
14 - Hawkmoon 269
15 - Acrobat
16 - Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
For Still Haven't Found, Bono said that the band had a very special guest and then invited me on stage to join them by playing guitar and singing along with Bono and Edge.
Also for the encore, they had the wheel mic and Bono wore the laser jacket. Hawkmoon had the same lighting as WOWY does on the tour. For Acrobat, the lasers on Bono's suit turned blue, and then for Ultraviolet, the lighting was the same as on tour. Also, for Ultraviolet, Bono invited me back onstage and allowed me to swing around on the mic and it was awesome.

I like the setlist
