If they're still touring into late next year, and these "U2 Remasters" are coming out one year at a time, either "Rattle and Hum" or "Achtung Baby" will get the next treatment, depending on which they think will do better.
A lot of people think they pushed TUF material (TUF, Pride, MLK, some shows had Bad) because the remaster was getting released. If we're lucky, maybe they'll try to push material off of either of those two albums- and I'm okay with either
EDIT:
Just think...
R&H: Hawkmoon 269, All I Want is You, Van Diemen's Land
AB: So Cruel, Wild Horses, EBTTRT, Tryin' to Throw Your Arms...
the possibilties are amazing

I hope Pride returns, i've never seen that song live, and I get annoyed when people are all "omg we're sick of it stop playing it". I'd rather them drop any of the all that you can't leave behind songs (apart from beautiful day) for Pride. I'd rather have Pride than One even. I'm sick of One, it's the "preach" song now days. I watched ZooTV Sydney today, and One was great because that was back when it was just a great song. Now everytime I hear it it makes me think of charity and political involvement, and basically nothing music-related. Pride ftw.
Apart from that, more Pop songs.
I understand the feeling of never seeing it live- neither have I (dropped it for the first time in like 8 years on Chicago 2)...but there comes a time for every song to go. I feel like the band are too obligated to play "Streets" some nights, and simply just don't feel the performance at all, and I feel terrible for them to have to go through the motions. I'll be the first to admit I'd feel absolutely CHEATED not hearing that at a live show, it's such a spectacle, but we have to remember- it is their band. We choose to be superfans.

Originally posted by LikeASong:That one was a topic designed to talk/moan about the already played setlists... We can leave this one open for now, no big deal after all.
I pray for a radical change in the final part of the shows (10 last songs), of course including the encore.
If we get a new albu, then obviously there will be lots of changes... But, even in case the album gets delayed, I want the setlists to rotate much more... And include some rocker oldies (Out Of Control, The Electric Co, maybe ASOH or Gloria...).

This.
Even some old songs that might not have been hits, such as Threw A Brick or A Celebration, even a full version of Stories For Boys and not just a snippet.

"One" was priceless for me as a first timer, because I'd seen it on virtually every bootleg/DVD ever released, and I finally got to live that moment. Now that it's over, I'd be happy to see it open up another song slot, but what's that doing for the thousands of others who are seeing U2 for the first time and want that experience? Granted, they can't strictly play the song for the first-timers (and they don't), but still- to every U2 fan in the world, including all of us, it should be recognized as one of the biggest staples of their career. It's frequently voted in the top 3 best songs of the 90's, top 10 songs ever written about love, and made people think twice about what they were capable of. I won't mind seeing "One" stay, as long as Bono keeps his political banter to a minimum. The Tutu video beforehand was cutting it JUST close enough on 360°, but his high pitched, loud voice shouting "ONE! ONE!" at the end of it moved me an extreme amount, and really kicked off the song to an emotional start.
With that long novel being said...."Pride" can go.
