First verse of Peace on Earth seaguing into Streets.
I think there's good miles in that

Linear Tour
Limited-extent tour in theatres and smaller auditoriums, c 2009 - as such it gave them the opportunity to present 'a special night with U2' where they could play a more atmospheric setlist less reliant on hits (though not completely devoid of them).

02 No Line On the Horizon
03 Magnificent
04 New Year’s Day
05 I Fall Down
06 White As Snow

12 Drowning Man
13 If God Will Send His Angels
14 Bad
15 Where the Streets Have No Name
16 Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
17 Indian Summer Sky

Alternatively, maybe I'd switch out Two Shots... for Tomorrow.

And I'm really missing Gloria in that setlist, too. Hmmmm.

That's what this thread is about since I opened it 10 years ago: "I miss this song here... and I really miss that song there". It's painful

So, I haven't played this game in a while, but a mate of mine got tickets for Trafalger Square and I was a little bit jealous. I decided I would write a setlist of what they SHOULD play in Trafalger Square in the hope that whatever they did play would be a disappointment. Here's what I came up with...

Intro music- Always Forever Now
Lots of smoke, you can just about see some shadows enter the stage. Anticipation is massive. Some girl screams out “Larry I love you!”
Discotheque. Snippets: Black Betty, I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy, Stepping Stone, Into The Groove, Devil Inside.
Lemon.
Last Night On Earth.
The Unforgettable Fire
11 O'clock Tick Tock
Bullet the Blue Sky (with Trump rap from The Late Show)
During Bullet Bono makes his way up the pre built walkway to the 4th plinth and is joined by Edge for…
7. Stay (acoustic)
Loads of red lights and smoke, faint sound of an organ….
8. Streets.
The world goes crazy
Bono calls for a special guest in stage….
Sadiq Kahn!
Bono explains that the world is having too much fun for this to end, and seeing as Sadiq is in charge of this city…
Mr Khan is gracious in his response…
“Play until dawn”
9. Out of Control
10. Vertigo (this would have been the end of the main set)
11. Two Hearts Beat As One
12. God Part II
13. Gloria
14. The Electric Co
Back to the 4th plinth for acoustic goodness….
15. Desire
16. Staring at the Sun
17. No Line On The Horizon
18. Every Breaking Wave
19. Party Girl
Back to full electric and main stage…
20. Zoo Station
21. The Fly (Elevation style)
22. Do You Feel Loved
23. Even Better (ZooTV)
Bono addresses the crowd…..
“Sorry for being such an insufferable ass all these years, but can you give the 3 guys with me some ears and listen to the following…”
24-37. New album in full, front to back.
Band leave, crowd doesn't.
13 minutes and 57 seconds later we hear the unmistakable intro to…
38. Bad. (11 minutes long, Norwegian Wood, Molly Malone, Walk to the Water, Moment of Surrender, Ruby Tuesday, Everybody Hurts, In My Life, Imagine all snippets)
39. Love Rescue Me. By now some gospel singers have made it on stage for the “sha la la la”. Band leave, crowd and gospel singers keep it going, until…
Band return for…
40. When love comes to town
41. Angel of Harlem
42. Still haven't found (gospel singers are still around).
Bono: “ok, shall we crank this up a little…”
43. I threw a brick through a window
44. A Day Without Me
45. Surrender
46. Refugee
47. I Fall Down
48. Jerusalem (With A Shout)
49. Gone
50. Cedarwood Road
51. Volcano
52. Iris.
Bono here gets a little melancholy, explaining how the loss of his mother was the driving force behind him becoming an artist and how his father influenced him more than he knew whilst he was alive...
53. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
More Bonolese about family, loves and losses, etc, etc….
54. Song for Someone
55. Original of the Species
Bono: “right, let's let the music do the talking” (thank fuck for that think the crowd)
56. MoFo
57. I Will Follow
58. Exit
59. Until the End of the World
60. New Year's Day
61. Miami
62. Please
63. Wake up Dead Man
64. Breathe
Bono “never played in public before…”
65. Acrobat
Hard core fans lose it. Some faint and medical attention is needed. Encore break.
Massive flashlights shoot to the sky placing a silhouette on the clouds above of the Macphisto horns.
Bono returns to the stage as Macphisto….
66. Hold me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
67. Daddy's Gonna Pay
68. Dirty Day
69. Zooropa
70. Ultra Violet
Macphisto attempts to phone Teresa May but accidentally gets Boris Johnson. Johnson's tirade to Macphisto is sufficient to get even the biggest Bono-haters to gather a mob to egg and flour Johnson's house with such ferocity that his front door becomes unusable and he ends up house bound because he's too stupid to understand the concept of a back door. Everybody is happy again.
“Off with the horns and on with the show”
71. Mysterious Ways.
72. Stories for Boys
73. Beautiful Day
74. Electrical Storm
75. Window in the Skies
76. Invisible
77. Ordinary Love
78. With or without You
79. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
80. Love is Blindness
Bono to shed the Macphisto make up back stage whilst Edge sings…
81. Van Diemans Land
82. Numb.
Bono returns, now looking a little weary as the sun is starting to rise. He explains that the next few songs are for the sunrise.
83. North Star
84. Yahweh
85. Your Blue Room (Adam does the speech at the end marking the first time his voice has ever been heard in stage in over 40 years of shows)
86. Unknown Caller (organs segue into…)
87. Streets (encore means to play again)
88. “40”
Everyone leaves stage bar Larry who bangs out the last beats of “40”, stands, nods to the crowd and leaves.
All media crowns the gig as the best ever, the 4 members of the band are given the freedom of London and continue in the years to come to play unannounced gigs in the various band stands in the various parks around London, just playing requests.

And now having heard the new album, I know I'd want a couple more songs in there...ha.
