i love your second encore :drool:
 
Thanks Chizip, but Ultraviolet and Love Is Blindness are really just a total indugence on my part to be honest. They are two of my most loved album tracks ever.

"40" was one I really, really hoped the band would play on Tuesday night, as I've never been to a concert that ended on that song before. So again, it's another personal indulgence really.

Vertigo2 was good too tho' :wink:

Damn, that's actually pretty good. Spcieally the 5 first songs. All Along The Watchtower after The Fly is a great idea. :up:

Cheers mate.

The drums of All Along would segue nicely into Vertio too I think. I've really tried to move things around a bit as since ZooTV certian songs have become stagnant in there postions (Streets is generally played 5-6 songs to the end, New Years Day song 7-8, One always towards the end since ZooTV etc etc). I've tried to break that paradigm. I've also tried to inject some Pop and Zooropa into the equation.

The major problem I do see with mine is Sometimes -> Stay -> One may be too slow, too early in the concert.
 
1. City of Blinding Lights (without the horrid piano part - there was one time they did it without the piano intro, it was in the encore and it was beautiful)
2. Vertigo

6. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
7. Beautiful Day
8. Gone
9. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
10. Love and Peace or Else
11. Sunday Bloody Sunday
12. Please (okay, unlikely, but it's not TOTALLY impossible)
13. Running to Stand Still
14. Crumbs From Your Table
15. Pride (just because they would never take this one out, realistically)
16. Where the Streets Have No Name
17. One

18. Zoo Station
19. The Fly
20. Discotheque or Dirty Day (aka my indulgence)

21. All Because of You
22. Original of the Species
23. Bad/40

They probably wouldn't do this setlist because Bad is so long, Please is a long song live, ect., so it would be over two hours...plus it's very 90's heavy, 5 tracks from Achtung, 3 from Pop...I may be asking for too much here :D

OK, some of this will need an explanation, so bear with me...

1. Miss Sarajevo (acapella)

This starts as just Bono's voice singing the first verses - the screens show a single blip running across it. As he gets to the line "Here she comes" we hear the first chords of

2. Zoo Station

Which then crashes into...

3. Vertigo

which has the screens showing spinning targets that gradually slow towards the end of the song. When Bono shouts "yeah yeah yeah... etc" the words flash hugely on the screens.

4. Do You Feel Loved?

Huge mirror ball effect at the start, lots of laser and pyro flashes.

I'll finish the staging crap now... :)

5. New Years Day

6. Until The End Of The World

7. Stuck In A Moment

8. Miracle Drug

9. Sometimes You Cant Make It/All I Want Is You outro

(On 'All I Want Is You' it's just the verses - sung quietly as the 'heartbeat' dies on the screen)

10. Beautiful Day

11. City Of Blinding Lights

(arena house lights go on for the last few "oh you look so beautiful tonight"'s)

12. Where The Streets Have No Name

13. Bad/Hands That Built America/Stay (Faraway So Close) snippit

14. Electrical Storm

15. Discotheque (total change of pace)

16. Desire

-----------------------------------------------

ENCORE 1

HUMAN RIGHTS VIDEO

17. With Or Without You/Running To Stand Still (no need for SBS... :))

18. Staring At The Sun

20. Pride (In The Name Of Love)

21. Even Better Than The Real Thing

22. All Because Of You

23. Walk On

24. One (acapella - band leaves stage) as the lights stay off and a single light runs around the eclipse...

Some general comments:

I'm sort-of assuming this to be a second-leg show. Both COBL and LAPOE needed to come later in the set so I pretty much had to start with Vertigo. The choices for the early songs are pretty standard - I don't particularly care for Elevation (though it grabs me sometimes) and I couldn't find a spot for NYD without taking something else out.

City of Blinding lights after Into the Heart sounds magical, so I stuck it there. Sunday Bloody SUnday also didn't quite fit (both space wise and my temperment tonight) so I just went on to LAPOE-Bullet.

The version of running to stand still is an extra-long super-duper version. It includes both the Zoo TV guitar and the R&H/Vertigo piano. After the verses, the harmonica and halelujah part, bono sings "suffer the needle chill, she's running to stand still" again and does the zoo tv needle thing, and then BAM! the band kicks in with a rocking solo like LIVE does when they cover the song. The riff (that I envision in my head) for this part quite naturally rolls into Crumbs From Your Table, which then rolls into streets - though without hte large buildup, just a wham-bam punch.

The Walk On snippet at Irving Plaza was fantastic, so I've added it back - it's a bit longer in my mind, too.

Original starts out acoustically then comes in to the full band version. It ends and jumps right in to Out of Control. When that ends, bad begins, and at the end, after some "how long to sing this song"s, larry starts up and the song kicks in to full. And if they feel like it, they can play Vertigo after 40 (like NJ1).

The end is a bit indulgant, but it's relatively realistic when you look at what the band has been doing lately.
 
Not bad your setlists.
But what about this one?
