    Also, One, Beautiful Day, Vertigo and City of Blinding Lights didn't miss a show since their debuts. Therefore, it is very unlikely that One and Beautiful Day will be dropped from the setlist.


    Good

    First thing is a good, except Fez

    Second fact sucks, those 4 song could rotate or something (Dropped is also a solution)
  3. Would anybody miss Beautiful Day for something like Miracle Drug instead? I know I wouldn't - if they have to have a recent song there.

    I'd be disappointed if Blinding Lights was dropped. It's a great live track; when that gets going, the crowd goes absolutely nuts. I know I did, anyway. But it needs to be re-done in the Vertigo Tour style - where it just builds up and up. The 360 version was kinda lame.

    You mean except Magnificent
    I also love City of blinding lights

    But I think one of their new songs will be the closer....

    I hope they never play Magnificent again, it remindes me of Coldplay from the last couple of years. The first time you listen to it, it sounds good but after a while you hear what a incredible boring and simple song it is.

    Also it didn't work live imo.

    Agreed.

    First of all, I take my idea about having a Stadium tour and Arena Tour at the same time and plug it in here. I know there are tons of people who somehow believe it is not technically possible to tour both Stadiums and Arenas at the same time. Just read the Rolling Stones tour history. It's possible. It's even easy if you make the Arena show so stripped down you would think you were at a Flock of Seagulls concert in 1982.

    They would play 3 shows in 7 days in each city on Both legs of the tour in Europe and the USA. Maybe 2 Europe Legs and 2 USA Legs. Each leg hitting 15 big cities, so 45 shows spread out over 18 weeks. Yes, the tour would take forever to finish


    All Legs of the tour would feature the same setlist for the Stadium Show. Greatest Hits show? Well, sort of. Their biggest hits would be in the show, but here's where it gets shocking:

    Stadium Show:

    Joshua Tree Album(58:00) (Including time between songs/extended parts on some songs)
    Achtung Baby Album(62:00) ( Also Including time between songs/extended parts on some songs)

    Encore:
    Spanish Eyes
    Party Girl
    40

    Arena Show # 1 :
    (Maybe a new song or two thrown in from the next album they will stop promoting early)
    I Will Follow
    Out of Control
    A Day Without Me
    The Electric Co.
    Gloria
    I Threw a Brick Through a Window
    Fire
    October
    Sunday Bloody Sunday
    Seconds
    New Year's Day
    The Refugee
    Two Hearts Beat as One
    Surrender
    A Sort of Homecoming
    Pride (In the Name of Love)
    Wire
    The Unforgettable Fire
    Bad
    MLK

    Encore:
    11 O'Clock Tick Tock
    Party Girl
    40

    Arena Show # 2:
    (Maybe a new song or two thrown in from the next album they will stop promoting early)
    Desire
    Hawkmoon 269
    Angel of Harlem
    When Love Comes to Town
    Heartland
    God Part II
    All I Want Is You
    Zooropa
    Babyface
    Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car
    Some Days Are Better Than Others
    Dirty Day
    The Wanderer
    Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
    Discothèque
    Do You Feel Loved
    Mofo
    If God Will Send His Angels
    Staring at the Sun(Electric)
    Last Night on Earth
    Gone
    Miami

    Encore:
    The Playboy Mansion
    If You Wear That Velvet Dress
    Please

    The first Leg would be Europe with Arena Show #1
    The second Leg would be the USA with Arena Show #1
    The third Leg would be Europe with Arena Show #2
    The fourth Leg would be the USA with Arena Show #2

    The fifth Leg might hit 10 cities in other parts of the world.

    This would be around 190 shows taking about 80 weeks.

    Since each city got 3 shows, the travel would be less hectic, so 15 cities in 18 weeks wouldn't be too hard. U2360 took parts of 3 years, so my monster would only take a year and a half.

    Big Weakness: There would only be room for a few new songs each night. U2 gave up on NLOTH early, and will probably give up on whatever the new album is early, since no matter how good it is, old people do not have hit singles anymore.



    I wish
  8. Well I liked it,
    but then again when Bono is pushing out his voice in song it dont do us any good or great deal of enjoyment.

  9. Unless they commit to doing a full on remix of it I'd be down, the Fred Falke Full Club Mix is the only Magnificent I listen to. That'd be cool to have it segue into a revamped Discotheque in the encore or something.

    But again all of this is going off basically nothing until we hear the new album.
  10. Technically, CoBL did not make an appearance for Glastonbury, which I felt was a huge missed opportunity. U2's City of Blinding Lights meets Glastonbury, the city of cows and tents...

    Also, I would very much miss Beautiful Day if they dropped it. It wouldn't feel like a U2 gig without it, to be honest.

    I don't think they will ever drop beautiful day or one, U2 simply have far too many people that go to their shows just to hear those two songs and a handful of other hits.
  12. Beautiful Day will never get dropped, I'll eat a hat if Miracle Drug of all songs replaces it (and I LOVE MD).
