ONE love, blood, life
I've been watching VH1 Classic's MTV: Unplugged marathon today, and inevitably, I started thinking about what I would want U2's ultimate unplugged setlist to be. This is a good deal longer than any MTV: Unplugged episode, and it doesn't even matter because the show is off the air and U2 will never appear on it. But if for whatever reason U2 were to play an all unplugged, acoustic concert, spanning their whole career...what would you want the setlist to be? Don't hold back on length, 25-30 songs is ok. I tried to avoid cluttering it up with hits. I mean, songs like Streets and WOWY and Bad are some of my all time favorites, but I just don't think they would work in an acoustic setting, and there are so many lesser known songs that would work so much better unplugged. Keep it album tracks only - except for Party Girl, I understand if you can't leave it out. Also, I've ommited Desire because I've heard it acoustic too many times already. I feel that every song I've listed would work great unplugged:
