So I'm bored and waiting for laundry to dry so I decided it might be fun to have a thread dedicated to making concert setlists using only songs that haven't been played live before.
I used information from U2 Gigs' site and forgive me if I missed something but here are the songs I'm choosing from:
Album Tracks:
Stranger In A Strange Land, Is That All?, Red Light, The Refugee, Drowning Man, Promenade, 4th Of July, Elvis Presley And America, Red Hill Mining Town, Heartland, Acrobat, Some Days Are Better Than Others, The Playboy Mansion, Grace, When I Look At The World, One Step Closer, Stand Up Comedy, Fez-Being Born, White As Snow, Cedars Of Lebanon, This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now, Sleep Like A Baby Tonight
B-Sides:
Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop?), Boomerang II, The Three Sunrises, Love Comes Tumbling, Walk To The Water, Luminous Times (Hold On To Love), Deep In The Heart, Race Against Time, Hallelujah (Here She Comes), A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel, Dancing Barefoot, Alex Decends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk/Korova, Lady With The Spinning Head (UV1 Version), Night And Day (Steel String Remix), Salome, Where Did It All Go Wrong?, I’m Not Your Baby, Summer Rain, Always, Big Girls Are Best, Are You Gonna Wait Forever?, Levitate, Love You Like Mad, Flower Child, Xanax And Wine, Native Son, Smile, Winter, Disappearing Act, Soon, Blow Your House Down, Heaven And Hell, Oh Berlin, Down All The Days, Lucifer’s Hands, The Crystal Ballroom
Passengers:
Slug, A Different Kind Of Blue, Beach Sequence, Ito Okashi, One Minute Warning, Corpse (These Chains Are Way Too Tight), Elvis Ate America, Plot 180, Theme From “The Swan”, Theme From “Let’s Go Native”,
I have the Sacramento show. Peace On Earth is 2:26. Same length as, say, Wake Up Dead Man, which can also be regarded as a "lenghty snippet". You can include it if you want, I'm not putting it in my setlist anyway.

Ok, here's mine.
I focused on taking the songs I really wanted in the setlist and then I tried to make interesting segues among them.
The show would probably bore many people to tears, but I would find it fantastic. The majority of this songs are in my top 50 of all time (top 50 sounds like it's not much, but it is), and even some in my top 10 or 20 (Fez, EPAA, Always...)
