ultimate concert - need your help

[jonnymac07]

Hey ya'll. I've had this idea for quite a long time. What if we all pitched in and got together and created the ultimate u2 concert. It would be between about 20-23 songs, the normal length of a U2 concert. We can choose any song that U2 has plaid live wether it's rarities, covers, or fan favorites ranging from the earlies 80 to the Atomic Bomb promo tour. Perhaps we could all come up with setlists and we could all vote on the best one or something like that. Then we choose the best setlist. Or we can combine bits and pieces from every setlist. After this is done, we'll choose the best live performances of each song and then we'll choose the order and I can put the concert together and post it on here for everyone to download. Just let me know what you guys think and we can get this thing started!

 

[Numb1075]

[Lightning Waltz]

This simply represents my own selfish desires regarding a set list, am not pretending this would be great for anyone else but me, nor do I think this reflects reality. I can dream, though.....

Electric Co (Would blow me away to hear this, let alone to start. Again, a fantasy)
G-d's Country
Miracle Drug
When I Look at the World
MoFo
Until the End of the World
A Sort of Homecoming (This is the part of the concert where I start to cry, FYI)
October
Red Hill Mining Town
Unforgettable Fire
Heartland
Bad
Where the Streets Have no Name
Zooropa

First Encore
Zoo Station
Do You Feel Loved
Crumbs From Your Table
Sunday Bloody Sunday

Second Encore
Sometimes You Can't Make it on your Own
I Will Follow
New Year's Day
40

The Steelers then win the Super Bowl the day after this concert, the day after that Star Wars Episode III is released and is actually good, and I die happily (Never mind that the SB is in February and the film comes out in May, I'm dreaming here.)

Your plan intrigues me............

 

[RickFly]

[Joshua87]

If I was shot after this concert I would have the biggest smile at my funeral...

All Because of You
Vertigo
Discoteque
Even Better than the Real Thing
One
Kite
Beautiful Day
Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own
Until the End of the World
Sunday Bloody Sunday
October (only if for some divine reason they finished it!)
A Sort of Homecoming
Heartland
Bad
Where the Streets Have No Name

First Encore:
Bullet the Blue Sky
Please
With or Without You
The Fly

Second Encore:
City of Blinding Lights
Stay
Pride...
40


And no one better give me shit for One so early, I'm sick of it at the end of shows. From Until the End of the World through The Fly would make me cry, and probably pee my pants. This would be epic.

The start of the first encore would surprise many people, but I think it would be a thrilling encore. I really like the idea of a medley of some of their earlier songs, towards the end of the concert that people wouldn't expect. There are many surprises throughout the setlist, taking songs from all their albums and putting songs like October and New Year's Day and Running to Stand Still and Streets together, as proved successful in previous tours.

[Pero]

I know that this is subjectional and everybody has his own opinion, but you must follow some rules:
1.Great opener-Vertigo,Elevation
2.Fast songs to proceed-EBTTRT,UTEOTW
3.Slowing down-New years day,Staring at the sun,Gone
4.Slower songs(to get a drink)-Bad, Stuck
5.Raising-SBS,Desire
6.Lift the roof off-Bullet,WTSHNN,Pride
7.Ending-Beautiful Day
8.Encore-With or without you, One, Fly, Out of control(simbolic)

Those are my rules, noone has to follow them. In the concert there must be some theatricity, Macphisto,Fly or any of them should do something extraordinary
