Your Ideal Live Setlist
« on: August 16, 2012, 10:24:57 PM »
What is  the ultimate setlist you want to see U2 do? Dont worry about relevance or order, Just what do you think they should play? (Sorry if this has already been done)

Ideally, nothing pre-Zooropa and leaning heavily on NLOTH and the new one they'll be touring behind.

You can do these kind of threads until your blue in the face for all the heed the band will pay.

I'd want quite a few 80s songs, just not all the usual suspects.  Three songs apiece from Zooropa and Pop would be great (no acoustic Stay). Not much from the 00s except maybe one to three songs.  The only songs from NLOTH I'd want to hear would be Fez and IGCIIDGCT - album style.  And of course, about seven songs from their new album.

If they tour again, I really expect the tour to be arena exclusive.

Why so?

They have expressed interest in returning to smaller settings once the next tour rolls around, and just how much more can they do in stadiums that they haven't already achieved.

And maybe they're tired of playing the classics and popular songs so often. An arena tour would give them more flexibility on the songs they could play.

Promoters will make them an offer they can't refuse.  Trust me.

The fact they haven't taken up a promoter's offer to play stadiums in donkey's years strongly suggests they don't have the same love of money as U2 quite clearly have.
