    firstly, please turn caps lock off, it's kind of annoying and appears you are shouting
    secondly, I think this last list is nice, the song choice is great but the order is a little chaotic, WOWY into ABOY into ASOH, the acoustic section is nice though

    --

    Here it is.

    I wanted to start with a homage to Achtung Baby, so I used the non-album songs from this era. Together with Dirty Day and Zooropa it forms a nice opening, in my opinion. Crazy Tonight may seem a bit lost, but Oh Berlin sounds great after it. Basically, it's a sort of 360 transition (SBS = OB, Scarlet = 4th of July, Walk On = Pride)

    4th July segues greatly into Pride and ADWM is one of my favourites of Boy. Again, Beautiful Day may look a bit lost, but think about it: October serves as a great intro and Into The Heart is a pretty cool outro.

    Then there is the 00s part. Elevation, CoBL and Vertigo must be played at every concert in my opinion. As an encore, I picked the obligatory WOWY, AIWIY and Streets. Heartland is the best song on Rattle and Hum, it is way better than Desire and Angel of Harlem.
