U2start.com | Your Perfect Setlist

Originally posted by nickbibby:I love threads like this!

My perfect setlist of all time would be played in an indoor arena. I'm thinking something like Manchester Evening News Arena, with seats in a round and the stage dead centre of the floor. The stage woiuld be on a permnanant slow rotation and similar to the claw have 2 'rings' with bridges.

(snippets in brackets)

1. The Cry / Electric Co.
2. Beautiful Day
3. Elevation (Steppin Stone)
4. Vertigo (Stories for Boys)
5. MLK
6. Unforgettable Fire
7. No Line On The Horizon
8. Breathe
9. Unknown Caller (seague into...)
10. Streets

Acoustic
11. In God's Country
12. Stay (Bono and Edge only)

Back to full band
13. Kite
14. Discotheque (Black Betty/Whole Lotta Love) / Staring at the Sun (like the Elevation tour version)
15. Until The End Of The World
16. Last Night On Earth
17. New Years Day
18. Bad (Who Gonna Ride your Wild Horses)
19. Bullet the Blue Sky
20. Running To Stand Still (Bono finishing on harmonica)

First section of album version of Zooropa mixed in with images/video footage of the band over the years, segueing into...

Encore
21. Zooropa
22. The Fly (Elevation tour version)
23. Mysterious Ways (My Sweet Lord)
24. Out Of Control
25. Red Hill Mining Town

This is a knee-jerk setlist that I'm sure I'll wake in the middle of the night in a panic that I need to change it!

And yes, I do know I've left out One and WOWY. That was deliberate.

I love that setlist but not sure on seats as i would be stood up going nuts , and yes it has to be the MEN manchester ,,only becouse i live in runcorn .

...also i think if danny and brian were to join the band for the NLOTH songs, and anything else, would make it the best concert ever!

Not sure about Brian, but Mr. Lanois would be a great addition to their live performances. 100 times better than Terry "Underworld" Lawless

So this is what i thought of while doing this list - Would the greatest U2 show ever be, start with streets and play till running to stand, and then do anything they want in the middle and end with the remaining songs of JT, and maybe close it with One then a Bad/40 ending...?
