Well it would be nice if Sunday bloody Sunday, New Year's day and Bullet the blue sky wouldn't be played anyomore after the x-time. Also, they could at least reduce playing of Pride (because Bono really sounds weak), and maybe just a wee bit less of Mysterous ways.

Other than that, Surrender and Seconds would be interesting (not likely though), Promenade (not likely), So cruel (not going to happen).
In general I don't mind the Elevation setlist, except I wish they didn't cut off Running to stand still. (most likely to make it back)
 
damn... i'm shocked all the hating on bullet the blue sky goin' on... i love that song live. and getting rid of pride is just silly... even though bono can't hit the notes as well, come on... it's a u2 staple. sure it ain't the song i listen to the most, and i can't remember the last time i through it on a burned cd unless it was a full u2 concert... but it's still something i want and expect to hear when i go see a u2 show... come on now, we're here to make love!!

as for the rest...
songs that weren't played often (or at all) on elevation i'd like to hear again...
running to stand still
dirty day
even better than the real thing
sort of a homecoming
hold me thrill me kiss me kill me

songs played every now and then on elevation i want more of...
out of control
11 o'clock tick tock
please

songs i don't ever want to hear comming out of bono's mouth at a u2 show...
bye bye bye
mambo #5
shake your bon bon
oops i did it again
with arms wide open
oh... and babyface... god i hate that song

Agreed. I'm also partial to In a Little While, but I doubt that'll be brought back.

Songs to get rid of:
Stuck in a Moment
Elevation
Pride (although it'll probably never happen)
SBS
New York

Songs to add:
HMTMKMKM
One Tree Hill
In God's Country
Running to Stand Still
ASOH or UF
 
Take out:
-Bullet the Blue Sky (not a bad song, just doesn't need to
be constantly played)
-With or Without You (I wish he could hit those notes. . . )
-Pride (kinda slow and deflated now)
-Desire (acoustic at least)
-Stuck in a Moment

Bring back:
-Running to Stand Still
-A Sort of Homecoming
-Who's Gonna Ride your Wild Horses (any way, shape,
form . . .)
-Last Night on Earth
-Please (full band, not acoustic)
-Gloria
-Two Hearts Beat as One

It would be great to hear those last two at least once in a while!

:shrug: Well, it's not that I hate it. I really don't. Actually, I've listened to JT a lot lately and gained a new appreciation for the whole album, Bullet included. But I don't know. It just doesn't do much for me when I hear it live...I thought I was the only one!

Oooh...I like your choices here. :yes: Definitely LNOE...It sounded GREAT during Popmart. And I would LOVE to hear Gloria!!!
 
"Bullet the Blue Sky" has been boring live since they took "Running To Stand Still" out.

And I love the acoustic set, I just think they should get rid of the older songs in it ("Staring at the Sun," "Desire"). I'd be happy to see them mixing the setlists up a lot instead of playing mostly the same thing. Similar setlists every night worked for the stadium tours, but they can inject some more variety into it now that they're doing arenas again.
 
Don't wanna hear:

Even Better Than the Real Thing
Pride
New Year's Day
Stuck in a Moment
Desire

Would love to hear:

Acrobat
Ultraviolet
Exit
Hawkmoon 269
Out of Control
 
what I don't want to hear next time:

Bullet the blue sky (every damm show...)
WOWY (unless is like in R&H and with the stars shinning and love tearing us apart)
UTEOTW
New Years day (since 1983....give it a break)
I will follow
Bono & Edge in any acoustic combination, except TGBHF

what I want to hear:

Exit
Dirty day
Desire (but the ZOO TV mindblowing version)
for the love of God = Who's gonna ride your wild horses (full w/guitar solo version)
Lady with the spinning head (long version) (a great opener for the next tour)
The Fly (ZOO TV version)
Out of control
