Reading some of the thoughts on people's setlists are laughable.... The idea that there are only 1 or 2 "must play" songs for a live U2 show is crazy - there are a good half dozen songs at least that you know are going to get played every night. While I agree that it would be absolutely incredible to hear them play an extended version of A Celebration or Wire, the fact of the matter is the vast majority of fans would have no idea what was being played....
U2 has an amazing hardcore fanbase that knows all of the words to all of the songs on all of the albums, just like for example, Phish or the Dead, but also cater to a mass populace that those bands don't touch - while the jam bands can get away with that, U2 sadly could not.
That being said, while there will be some variation from night to night and occasionally one or two of these songs will be left out of a setlist, U2 will always play the following songs live:
Streets
One
Until the End of the World
Pride
Beautful Day
With or Without You
Well... those ones and maybe an extended jam version of Acrobat. A guy can dream, cant he...
