1) take one of the 24-song sets they've played at the last few dates.
2) make it worse by substituting certain songs
Caveat: can't be bringing in bullshit like Red Light or The Refugee or Elvis Ate America, since those would actually be a blast because they'd be something different. It has to be within the realms of possibility.

I forgot about Song for Someone! Brilliant inclusion. EBW instead of Love is Bigger, well done. Miss Sarajevo... if Bono does Pavarotti's part, which is a possibility, it's a show-stopper, so you've done well, but not as bad as it could be.

Very good, especially the demotion of the one good song in the setlist (UTEOTW) to intermission. Inspired. Two good inclusions from NLOTH, but the lack of Vertigo is striking, and what I said above about MS still stands... maybe you replace MS with Vertigo at the end there.

I will @ you, because this is frontrunner so far. Your replacement of UTEOTW with The Miracle is exactly the sort of idea I was looking for. Extremely well done. Still, there's holes to be picked. In a Little While is a good song, we just all started hating it thanks to 360. And whilst Vertigo x2 is a good callback to another good meme, it ends the show on too much of an upbeat note. Best so far, but it can be worse.

This is pretty bad. I'm not sure if you ignored my rules or didn't see them, but the blatant deletion of two entire songs is quite bold. Unfortunately for you, Stuck has a lovely ending, this still has UTEOTW and if Crazy Tonight is the remix, then I'm happy with it. Not bad.

This is pretty damn bad, yeah. It's slightly less realistic than Headache's (you have to keep Love is Bigger) and I'm still not really feeling the NLOTH inclusions... but your finish to the first set, including Stingray Guitar as the intermission music, is probably my favourite change yet. Fuck me dead that version of Bullet was boring. You & Headache have the lead so far.
