Now that NLOTH is available...make your dream setlist

[HansaTonImbiss]

If you think the opening songs will be anything other than this:

1) NLOTH till the bridge, then NLOTH 2 till the end.
2) Get On Your Boots

Then you’re drunk.

I'd like them to open with NLOTH, but I thought it would be fun to experiment with where else it could fit with the setlist.

NLOTH/NLOTH2 would be a great start.

 

[Rosebud]

We're both talking about the band that wanted to take four days of the week off, right? I'll stick to 23.

I think that was because of family commitments, not laziness.

 

[Rosebud]

Anyway, I hope they open with NLOTH1, and though I actually like the end of the album version better, I think the end of NLOTH 2 would translate better live.

Also really hoping they do pull a ZooTV and play a lot of their new songs before anything else, or else scattered through the show so they get to play a lot of them.

I can see an extended MOS being a killer ender.

Well. This post certainly backfired.

Why don't people submit their wishlist, limit of 25 songs. Go.

^My post or yours?

Totally agree. MOS, with some abstract cover from days of yore, like "Can't Help Falling in Love", would be sensational.

 

[paultjr]

They will most likely play 9-10 songs per night from NLOTH. And it's time to bring back some POP songs!! Mofo and Discotheque would sound great with the new songs!

Hahahaha- mine.

Agree on this too. My intention was to see HTDAAB/ATYCLB-heavy lists scrapped, and replaced with some more obscure incorporations from Pop, Zooropa, UF, and even...........................................................Passengers? Could be fun...

Ooh, that idea is making me

Hahahaha- mine.

Cheers mate!

I've noticed a number of people suggesting that U2 should go to at least somewhat ZooTV lengths and open with a number of NLOTH songs. I tend to not think this is a good idea, but what the hell, let's give it a try.

[Axver]

Slug

In all honesty, Your Blue Room would probably work better in that spot, but Slug's long-term favourite of mine that deserves some setlist love.
