Your ideal JT30 setlist

[Anu]

Then there are the covers on R&H like Helter Skelter or All Along The Watchtower.

What about a R&H original, not just Desire or AIWIY but Hawkmoon 269!

[prbiker15]

I had predicted in another setlist thread a few months ago that Sunday Bloody Sunday was going to open the show. Now that the tour's underway...

01 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
02 - Gloria
03 - New Year's Day
04 - Out of Control
05 - Two Hearts Beat as One
06 - A Sort of Homecoming
07 - Pride (In the Name of Love)
08 - MLK
09 to 19 - The Joshua Tree
---------- BREAK ----------
20 - The Little Things That Give You Away
21 - Beautiful Day
22 - Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
23 - All I Want is You
24 - One
25 - Bad
26 - "40"

Out of Control near the beginning. I do love SBS opening though, so keep that. Add luminous Times and Love is Blindness after Little Things to end.

 

[JDM111er]

I know some people here want the band to play nothing post-JT era (so including R&H) across the entire show, not just in the opening songs. I'm certain the band would never contemplate it.

But this, this would be my fucking dream if the option were on the table:

1. 11 O'clock Tick Tock
2. Desire with shredding solo
3. All Along the Watchtower
4. The Electric Co.
5. Rejoice
6. Gloria
7. Twilight
8. A Sort of Homecoming
9. Mothers of the Disappeared
10. Exit
11. One Tree Hill
12. Trip Through Your Wires
13. In God's Country
14. Red Hill Mining Town
15. Running to Stand Still
16. Bullet the Blue Sky
17. With or Without You
18. I Still Haven't Found
19. Where the Streets Have No Name

20. Wire
21. Spanish Eyes
22. Pride
23. Heartland
24. All I Want Is You
25. Bad
26. 40

I'm surprised there isn't more love for "Wire" . It's a rocker like Exit that's perfect live.

Race Against Time (Intro Music)

11 O'clock Tick Tock (Axver rip off) alternated with Another Time, Another Place
Fire rotated with Gloria
A Celebration alternated with Refugee
Like A Song alternated with NYD (full song as played now)
Wire alternated with Pride alternated with Bad
ASOH (scream and other big notes intact / turn the synth volume down 25%)

JT FRONT TO BACK

Desire (Hollywood)
God Part II alternated with Heartland
Zoo Station (electrified even more somehow)
Tyrin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World alternated with The Fly
Lemon alternated with Stay (full band electric)
Gone alternated with Discotheque
Beautiful Day alternated with WILATW
Crumbs alternated with Vertigo (fire alarm intro)
Breathe
Sleep Like A Baby Tonight
Luminous Times alternated with Walk to the Water
TLTTGYA
IWF alternated with OOC or Electric Co. or 40 (special nights)

I know this is a pipe dream and they'll never play (or learn enough to rotate) that many songs...but this I would consider extraordinary. It is doable and would blow the minds of long-time fans and casuals alike (or at least mine). With the rotations, they could ensure that a better known tune would be played nearly every other song before JT. After JT, hit or not, these songs are good enough to hold the attention of casual fans (IMO).
