Hypothetically speaking, it is announced there is to be a Live Aid II (not live 8!!).
U2 have to play THREE (no more) songs and they have asked you to choose the three songs that will steal the show for em........the rest is up to you. You can go for three that you think would have mass appeal or you can go for 3 oustandingly moving songs or watever. Reasons would be cool too. Merci

As a bit of fun....i may even choose a winner
 
in order (played at night)

(black stage no lights)
Intro to UTEOTW
(lights flash on!)
que the rest of the song, all flashy etc

UF/JT/LT version of Pride-as in full version where crowd sings *oh ohh oh* then back to chorus (rattle and hum for eg)

With Or Without You
 
To steal the show? I'd say:

Beautiful Day
Until the End of the World
Where the Streets Have No Name
 
As U2 would be one of the main acts they'd be coming on when its dark, so dim all the lights, and start the set with WTSHNN, with similar intro to the ZooTV version, is there any better way to start a show, after that come crashing in with ZOO STATION, & finish with PRIDE, pity any act who'd have to follow!
 
3 songs? They're fookin' U2 - grand final with 5 songs, ala Pink Floyd on Live 8, yeah bitches! Bring it on!

UTEOTW
SBS / Rock The Casbah snippet
Miss Sarajevo ---> Where The Streets Have No Name
Pride

Yeah bitches!
 
Steal the show, you say?

1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. The Unforgettable Fire
3. One Tree Hill
 
Window In The Skies (extended bridge with crowd interlude)
Miss Sarajevo / Human Rights video
Where The Streets Have No Name

or

Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Miss Sarajevo / Human Rights video
I Will Follow (extended version with the Popmart crowd interlude)
 
Beautiful Day
One
Where The Streets Have No Name

Was just watching them on the (original) Live Aid dvd set. What a show stopper with SBS and Bad, my God! :drool:
 
to go in the thought of the show... and thinking 3 is not enough, but 5 is too much... and that is dark


really atmospheric...

Miss Sarajevo ==> Human Rights
Pride
Streets
One

maybe, crowd/band pumped up: Vertigo



the message is good

-------------

2nd take.. more original:

City of Blinding Lights//
Pride (ITNOL) (ISHFWILF snippet... and that, somehow, segues into...)//
Where The Streets Have no Name

prepared Encore:
Windows In The Skies (with video of what the money does for the people in Africa.. showing "what love has done" )
 
how about they do a cover of Queens set from live aid, that was a show stealer :wink:

and maybe a few u2 snippets thrown in the songs lol
