Reasonable Set-List for the Tour

[Dalton]

Ok, so I have been thinking about this for a month now and I FINALLY have the set-list I would like to see. Of course this is not perfect, there are songs that I had to leave out that I would love to hear. I would like to see 11 O’clock, Party Girl and Wire have significant runs in the set lists. I think that Crumbs to be heard often as well….

1. Vertigo
2. ABOY (Not my ideal way to start the show, but I think the boys are stuck on it)
3. I Will Follow
4. Out of Control (Out of Control is right! IF they start off the show like this the roof will come off!)
5. COBL
6. SYCMIOYO (These two go together very well….)
7. Gone (The perfect song to follow Sometimes….
8. Pride
9. Discothèque

Acoustic Set
10. Fast Cars (This at least ties in thematically with Disco)
11. Stay/Man & Woman Medley (Could be a great combo)
12. In A Little While

Back to the Main Stage
13. Love and Peace
14. Trip Through Your Wires (LAPOE and TTYW will be so cool together … Bono screaming and playing harmonica…..)
15. Miracle Drug
16. Bad/40
17. Streets (If they play it like this, I might die …. or be taken straight to heaven)

1st Encore
18. Beautiful Day (New longer intro…..)
19. Original of the Species
20. With or Without You

2nd Encore
21. One
22. Walk On
23. One Step Closer
24. Yahweh (end on a high note)

The last encore will be soooooooo powerful. The greatest sing-a-long ever!


Notable Missing Songs: (I believe this is inevitable with the catalogue they have)
1. Mysterious Ways
2. Sunday Bloody Sunday
3. I Still Haven’t Found What I am Looking For
4. Bullet the Blue Sky
5. Desire
6. Elevation
7. Stuck in a Moment


What do you think? What would you change? What does your setlist look like?

REMEMBER THEY ARE NOT ROBOTS. They can’t play 30 songs a night. I tried to keep mine under 25.

Ok go.

[Axver]

Yahweh, ending on a positive note? Yahweh ends on a NEGATIVE note with "take this heart and make it break". I am sure U2 will want to end positively so I guarantee you it won't close.

 

[Dalton]

Yahweh, ending on a positive note? Yahweh ends on a NEGATIVE note with "take this heart and make it break". I am sure U2 will want to end positively so I guarantee you it won't close.

"Take this heart and make it break" is not a negative line. It is a prayer.

 

[thatsnotmypuppy]

Perhaps the US shows will get 'The Hands That Built America'? Or 'Electrical Storm' in Europe?

[Dalton]

Perhaps the US shows will get 'The Hands That Built America'? Or 'Electrical Storm' in Europe?

I forgot all about Electrical Storm. That will probably get played.

 

[Dutch Partygirl]

I would love to hear Electrical Storm live.

 

[Needle_Chill]

I think Crumbs should close!!
Plus as I've said a million times already LAPOE/Vertigo will open back to back...

 

[Needle_Chill]

I would love to hear Electrical Storm live.

They'll play it around the same way they played Stuck In A Moment on the Elevation tour.

 

[pepokiss]

LAPOE WILL NOT OPEN THE SHOWS!!!

and remember ELECTRICL STORM... it's the HMTMKMKM of this tour

 

[thatsnotmypuppy]

Dumb idea - buit it would rock - Vertigo.. followed by... Lady With The Spinning Head? Similar themes... it's not gonna happen - but what an opener!

More ideal, you have stuff from all the albums, plus some more older songs that haven't been played for quite a while.

 

[Danospano]

Reasonable set list: It must have no more than 23 songs, no fewer than 20 songs. It must have at least 6 songs from the current album, including "Electrical Storm".

Therefore,

From the new album:
1) Vertigo
2) Miracle Drug
3) Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own
4) City of Blinding Lights
5) All Because of You
6) A Man And A Woman
7) Original of the Species

Occasionally

8) Yahweh
9) Love and Peace or Else
10) Crumbs From Your Table
11) One Step Closer
12) Electrical Storm

From the past:

13) One
14) Where the Streets Have No Name
15) New Year's Day
16) Beautiful Day
17) I Will Follow
18) With Or Without You
19) Stay (Faraway, So Close)
20) Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of

Occasionally:

21) Desire
22) Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
23) Staring at the Sun
24) Walk On
25) Mysterious Ways
26) Until the End of the World
27) Out of Control
28) Sunday Bloody Sunday
29) Please
30) All I Want Is You
31) I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
32) Bad
33) Pride

Hit songs they will NOT play unless there is a coup:

1) Discotheque
2) Numb
3) Even Better Than the Real Thing
4) Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
5) Bullet the Blue Sky
6) Elevation
7) The Sweetest Thing

 

[mysticchild]

I believe that Bad will always be on the set list. It is a U2 song. I know they won't play 40 anymore and someone said Seconds, i wish but I know that won't be played.

 

[Aardvark747]

and remember ELECTRICL STORM... it's the HMTMKMKM of this tour

I hope so...that would be good to hear live

 

[discotheque77]

hey dalton, I think your setlist is pretty good. But I think they will definetely play Pride, New Years Day and Until The end...
or 2 of them.
I don't think they will play fast cars. The song is not on every album, I think only in UK and US or something.
Also discotheque (I love it!) is not on the list I think.
I hope the opening song is Love and Peace or Else --> GREAT!

 

[Aardvark747]

I hope the opening song is Love and Peace or Else --> GREAT!

...Id like that too!

Yeah, I agree. There are certainly flaws in my theory, but I have been listening to this list on my ipod and it is amazing.

I was thinking though if they came back from the acoustic set with Love and Peace followed by Trip Through Your Wires/Exit medley that moves right into Miracle Drug.....


Well lets just say there would be a clean up in my aisle......

 

[Dalton]

BTW I definately think that COBL should be the song right before SYCMIOYO.

It works great there.

 

[thatsnotmypuppy]

I think considering the heavy themes on the new album, the show might start with a few slow burning songs, building up to a huge 'Vertigo' - so my absolute wishlist show would be -

1. Miracle Drug
2. Walk On
3. Electrical Storm
4. Vertigo
5. I Will Follow
6. The Fly
7. Desire
8. Lemon
9. Love And Peace Or Else
10. Crumbs From Your Table
11. Dirty Day
12. Please
13. Stuck In A Moment
14. Stay (Faraway, So Close) / All I Want Is You
15. All Because Of You
16. Running To Stand Still / Bad / Beautiful Day
17. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
18. Where The Streets Have No Name

ENCORE 1
19. A Man And A Woman
20. Gone
21. City Of Blinding Lights
22. With Or Without You

ENCORE 2
23. Yahweh
24. One
25. Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own
26. Wake Up Dead Man

 

[MiracleDruggie]

I don't think they will play fast cars. The song is not on every album, I think only in UK and US or something.

No, in the U.S. you have to pay extra for a special edition 'Bono's Book o' Crap' and no lyric sheet to get Fast Cars.
