Setlist Contest - Semi Formal

BWU2Buffs · 02-19-2005, 08:06 AM

I'm considering volunteering some time to organize an Opening Night Set List Contest, but wanted to check the collective interest first.

The concept --
You email your Opening Night set list -- songs played, in order.
Acoustic / "normal" does not matter.
Include encore #1, encore #2 songs.

I'll use Excel to sort out the winner, but would probably have to limit this to the first 75 or so entries -- it will take some time. And, we'd better hurry before artDirector (?) catches wind of too many songs being rehearsed in CA.

What do you win? Nothing, or maybe a copy of one of my better bootlegs if you don't have it -- just for fun.

If there is enough interest by Noon Central Time Sunday, or perhaps sooner, I'll post some more formal parameters -- necessary to make the Excel data parsing go smoother -- and I could use some help identifying the abbreviations you can all use for each potential song (i.e. SBS, STREETS)

So, would there be interest in this?

Heh, I don't know if I'll do all too well. There's a reason I haven't made any potential sets lately - because I don't think we can really predict just what U2 are going to do.

But I'll definitely give this competition a go.
