U2start.com | Your Perfect Setlist

I was just thinking about how u2 would have pulled of a tour that supported both ‘songs’ albums if they’d been released at the same time. My instinct would be to add even more songs from these albums to what I came up with but to try and make it realistic I’ve limited things somewhat, but it would be a long Setlist like some of they I&E shows

1. The Blackout
2. Lights Of Home
3. California
4. Beautiful Day
5. Stay
6. Iris
7. Cedarwood Road
8. Song For Someone
9. Raised By wolves
10. Until The End Of The World
11. Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

Intermission: HMTMKMKM

12. Invisible
13. Zoo station
14. The Fly
15. Acrobat
16. Best Thing
17. Every Breaking Wave
18. Get Out Of Your Own Way
19. With Or Without You
20. The Troubles
21. Little Things That Give You away

Encore
22. Where The Streets Have No Name
23. Landlady
24. Bad
25. Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
26. 13 (There Is A Light)

I think this may never happen, but this would be a really powerful section:

Bad / The First Time >> Bullet (Dublin 93' transition style)
Zooropa
Acrobat >> Exit (2017 style)

I would love to see Acrobat and Exit being played together. I think there could be an awesome transition.

I think the idea of the first 4 songs is to be pre TJT...

Here's my hopes for the upcoming tour (keeping it pretty plausible). I doubt they will play a set any longer than 22 songs.

1. Out of Control
2. Sunday Bloody Sunday
3. New Years Day
4. Bad/40 snippet (definitely keen on that 40 snippet)

5-15 The Joshua Tree

16. Beautiful Day
17. Vertigo
18. City of Blinding Lights
19. One

20. Until The End of The World or The Fly
21. All I Want Is You
22. 40

16-19 is as bad as it can get

But other than that it's pretty plausible.

I still stand by the setlist I posted +2 years ago, with one song per album except TUF that gets 2 (keep in mind that SOE wasn't released by that time, so might as well add Love Is Bigger after EBW):

They would have to rehearse for years for 3 different shows to happen.
