Opening Night Setlist Predictions

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Well, this isn't a realistic setlist. It's more like a dream setlist from a fantasy universe wherein "The Crystal Ballroom" was the first single and the band is touring with an orchestra. Lol. Keep dreaming, right? Anyway.

01. The Crystal Ballroom
02. Discotheque
03. Vertigo
04. I Will Follow
05. Lemon (w/ orchestra)
06. Beautiful Day
07. Fez-Being Born (w/ orchestra)
08. The Ground Beneath Her Feet (acoustic w/ orchestra)
09. Every Breaking Wave (acoustic w/ orchestra)
10. October
11. New Year’s Day
12. A Sort of Homecoming
13. Raised by Wolves
14. Please (w/ orchestra)
15. Sunday Bloody Sunday (w/ orchestra)
16. Cedarwood Road (w/ orchestra)
17. Where the Streets Have No Name
18. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
19. Kite (w/ orchestra)

20. Gone
21. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me (w/ orchestra)
22. Even Better Than the Real Thing

23. One (Edge & Bono w/ orchestra)
24. All I Want is You (w/ orchestra)
25. The Troubles (w/ orchestra)
 
Would like to see Gone return. A solid rocker.

That's not bad at all, actually. Too much orchestra maybe tho but I like the selection. Even Fez. I'd watch it once or twice.
Thanks for that! I put a lot of thought into it (e.g. imagine the transition between "Lemon" and "Beautiful Day" :drool:).

I did try to pick songs that would go well w/ orchestra - most of those have orchestral instruments on the album versions. I would love to hear "Sunday Bloody Sunday" with violins, like the album version, or the extended orchestral tag on "All I Want is You."

Would like to see Gone return. A solid rocker.
For sure!

U2 should use a cpu program where all of their songs are entered into a database. And out comes a randomized setlist of 1-25. For each night. How bizzare would that be?

Any techies wanna to take a stab at writing a program to do that and then we could have fun with it? I think it would be hilarious

I like this alot!

Good job!
 
During the Vertigo tour, when they started with arenas, they tossed in some surprises such as An Cat Dubh / Into The Heart, Electric Co., etc. I wonder if they will do the same this time around.

For me, it would be awesome if they could play "I Threw A Brick Through A Window". I can imagine hearing the drum intro to it with Bono screaming "I threw a brick!" just like he did in Red Rocks, oh man! :ohmy:.

How about Stories For Boys?

B-Sides anybody? If Bono's arm is in good shape it would be awesome if they could play Are You Gonna Wait Forever?
 
First stab sure to be not even close
