U2start.com | Your Perfect Setlist

Or a 3-Act show done by era, 8 songs for each plus an encore:

Act I
1. Out of Control
2. Gloria
3. Sunday Bloody Sunday
4. October
5. New Years Day
6. The Electric Co.
7. Twilight
8. I Will Follow

Act II
9. Where the Streets Have No Name
10. Pride (In the Name of Love)
11. Desire
12. In God's Country
13. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
14. A Sort of Homecoming
15. Hawkmoon 269
16. Bad

Act III
17. The Fly
18. Until the End of the World
19. Vertigo
20. Elevation
21. If God Will Send His Angels
22. Some Days Are Better Than Others
23. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
24. Beautiful Day

Encore:
25. Wake Up Dead Man
26. One

It would be a theater tour, perhaps with a 4 minute video between each set? That'd make for pretty close to a 3 hour show, if not more like 2.45. With an indoor venue they could absolutely do that, and with the show being broken up and Bono not having as many places to run his ass around, wouldn't tire them out every single night to play for that long.

I thought of that, but that sort of pins down some songs. Think about it, 8 songs from the 80s when you have classic staples that deserve a slot on such a retrospective tour like:

-Streets
-IWF
-NYD
-Out of Control
- Still Haven't Found
-SBS
-Bad
-Pride

I mean there's 8 right there without adding any spice whatsoever. It made a little more sense to me to break it down by the albums and really pick the best songs. What are you gonna do for 2000's? Bore people half to death with Stuck?

Also I just realized there isn't any NLOTH. I'd say maybe switch Wake Up Dead Man with MOS to keep that alive- don't see any reason not to. Also wish I'd represented OOTS somewhere in there, love that tune.
