Opening Night Setlist Predictions

[RickFly]

Any word on songs from "songs of experience? My guess will be that album will be out before the start of the third leg of the tour.

I could see "invisible " being the song before "streets". With the crowd chanting the "their is no them" section.

I honestly think they should just pull a ZooTV and start the show off by playing SOI from start to finish...then begin the second half of the set with Vertigo or Beautiful Day or I Will Follow or something that gets the whole crowd moving...throw in some Mysterious Ways, Pride, Still Haven't Found, New Year's Day...maybe do a never-before-played live tune like Drowning Man or Red Hill Mining Town...bring back Bullet the Blue Sky instead of Sunday Bloody Sunday (give some time for Bono's human rights/protest rant)...then move onto encores, where they'll play One, Streets, WOWY...then final encore can be Acrobat and Love is Blindness and "40".

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Click clack

 

[pepokiss]

Now we know for sure SONG FOR SOMEONE will be a staple

U2 > News > Sing 'Song For Someone' (Then Upload It)

 

[corianderstem]

At least I'll know when my bathroom break will be.

 

[pepokiss]

Mine's for IRIS

 

[prbiker15]

Mine's for IRIS

I hope they perform it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Song for Someone is definitely going to be a bathroom break classic like In a Little While.

 

[corianderstem]

Mine's for IRIS

I read that as ISIS.

"WTF Bono, I'm not signing up for ISIS! I'm going to take a leak."

 

[Hewson]

Song for Someone is definitely going to be a bathroom break classic like In a Little While.

The venue (hell the city) will experience a huge drop in water pressure during Song For Someone from the thousands of flushes.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Thankfully The Garden installed those waterless toilets a few years back. I don't know if we could take 8 drops like that in 2 weeks time

 

[Hallucination]

Some of these prediticons get so boring because they aren't even in the realm of possiblility. They aren't even in the realm of fantasy. They're beyond that haha.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Mine's for IRIS

I would love to have such exciting bathroom breaks....

I love IRIS....

 

[pepokiss]

I would love to have such exciting bathroom breaks.....

 

[BigMacPhisto]

I really hope SOS appears early in the nights it's played...then nobody will be rushing to the bathroom because the show's basically just started. I'll have a nice stall to myself.

But, to be honest, unless they're playing "California", I'm down to go to the bathroom during any of the new songs. Bleh.

 

[brooklynmike]

Was just watching the intro and Zoo Station from Live in Sydney for the first time in ages. Man that was an epic entrance. I'd love to see them kick off the shows on this tour with a bang again.

 

[popacrobat]

I think the first two songs are going to be This Where You Can Reach Me Now and Volcano. They wanted to open the album with Reach Me, but pussed out. Volcano probably can segue nicely from it.

After that, I'd guess some older tunes. They aren't going to go all Zoo TV / failed first legs of 360 on us and hit us with a bunch of new material without sprinkling in some old stuff.

I also think Raised by Wolves can segue pretty nicely into New Year's Day with the piano outro - > NYD bass line - > NYD Piano.

I'd like this, but it'd be better if they did RBW-October-NYD. I hope they bring October back this tour, it's kinda not been played for 25 years and it's still the best segue into NYD.

I all but expect Miracle to open the shows just because of it's intro and how it lends itself to a big band reveal but I think Raised By Wolves would be an amazing opener. Keep it dark during the first verse completely, strobes when the drums come in between verses, then back to dark. tiny bit of red light under the stage for the second verse, then pitch black. BOOM! chorus! house lights, chaos!

 

[prbiker15]

I'm still hoping for Invisible to open at least one show. I wonder what's going to close the show this time around.

They'll not be playing 26 songs, and October as the second song would be a total killer, in the worst way possible.
