    I would die
  6. Linear Tour
    Limited-extent tour in theatres and smaller auditoriums, c 2009 - as such it gave them the opportunity to present 'a special night with U2' where they could play a more atmospheric setlist less reliant on hits (though not completely devoid of them). Supported both No Line On the Horizon and the 20th anniversary of The Unforgettable Fire.

    01 Fez - Being Born
    02 No Line On the Horizon
    03 Magnificent
    04 New Year’s Day
    05 I Fall Down
    06 White As Snow
    07 MLK
    08 The Unforgettable Fire
    09 Unknown Caller
    10 Disappearing Act
    11 I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
    12 Drowning Man
    13 If God Will Send His Angels
    14 Bad
    15 Where the Streets Have No Name
    16 Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
    17 Indian Summer Sky
    18 Cedars of Lebanon
    19 Breathe

    20 A Sort of Homecoming
    21 Beautiful Day
    22 Vertigo
    23 Out of Control
    24 Moment of Surrender
    25 Window In the Skies
  7. Hmmmmm. Going for a typical setup rather than the Act 1/Act 2 format of i+e (and presumably e+i)...

    Intro: Pop Muzik
    1.) Mofo
    2.) Discotheque
    3.) Gone
    4.) I Will Follow
    5.) Cry / The Electric Co. / Bullet With Butterfly Wings (snippet)
    6.) Last Night On Earth
    7.) Elevation
    8.) Vertigo / Stories for Boys (snippet) / It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It) (snippet)
    9.) Beautiful Day / Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (snippet)
    10.) You're The Best Thing About Me
    11.) Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad
    12.) Mercy (The Complete U2 / Unreleased & Rare version)
    13.) Magnificent
    14.) The Crystal Ballroom
    15.) Staring At The Sun

    20.) The Fly
    21.) New Year's Day
    22.) Until The End Of The World
    23.) Acrobat
    24.) With Or Without You / Shine Like Stars
    25.) 40
  8. Alternatively, maybe I'd switch out Two Shots... for Tomorrow.

    And I'm really missing Gloria in that setlist, too. Hmmmm.
  9. That's what this thread is about since I opened it 10 years ago: "I miss this song here... and I really miss that song there". It's painful
  10. So, I haven't played this game in a while, but a mate of mine got tickets for Trafalger Square and I was a little bit jealous. I decided I would write a setlist of what they SHOULD play in Trafalger Square in the hope that whatever they did play would be a disappointment. Here's what I came up with...

    Intro music- Always Forever Now
    Lots of smoke, you can just about see some shadows enter the stage. Anticipation is massive. Some girl screams out “Larry I love you!”
    Discotheque. Snippets: Black Betty, I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy, Stepping Stone, Into The Groove, Devil Inside.
    Lemon.
    Last Night On Earth.
    The Unforgettable Fire
    11 O'clock Tick Tock
    Bullet the Blue Sky (with Trump rap from The Late Show)
    During Bullet Bono makes his way up the pre built walkway to the 4th plinth and is joined by Edge for…
    7. Stay (acoustic)
    Loads of red lights and smoke, faint sound of an organ….
    8. Streets.
    The world goes crazy
    Bono calls for a special guest in stage….
    Sadiq Kahn!
    Bono explains that the world is having too much fun for this to end, and seeing as Sadiq is in charge of this city…
    Mr Khan is gracious in his response…
    “Play until dawn”
    9. Out of Control
    10. Vertigo (this would have been the end of the main set)
    11. Two Hearts Beat As One
    12. God Part II
    13. Gloria
    14. The Electric Co
    Back to the 4th plinth for acoustic goodness….
    15. Desire
    16. Staring at the Sun
    17. No Line On The Horizon
    18. Every Breaking Wave
    19. Party Girl
    Back to full electric and main stage…
    20. Zoo Station
    21. The Fly (Elevation style)
    22. Do You Feel Loved
    23. Even Better (ZooTV)
    Bono addresses the crowd…..
    “Sorry for being such an insufferable ass all these years, but can you give the 3 guys with me some ears and listen to the following…”
    24-37. New album in full, front to back.
    Band leave, crowd doesn't.
    13 minutes and 57 seconds later we hear the unmistakable intro to…
    38. Bad. (11 minutes long, Norwegian Wood, Molly Malone, Walk to the Water, Moment of Surrender, Ruby Tuesday, Everybody Hurts, In My Life, Imagine all snippets)
    39. Love Rescue Me. By now some gospel singers have made it on stage for the “sha la la la”. Band leave, crowd and gospel singers keep it going, until…
    Band return for…
    40. When love comes to town
    41. Angel of Harlem
    42. Still haven't found (gospel singers are still around).
    Bono: “ok, shall we crank this up a little…”
    43. I threw a brick through a window
    44. A Day Without Me
    45. Surrender
    46. Refugee
    47. I Fall Down
    48. Jerusalem (With A Shout)
    49. Gone
    50. Cedarwood Road
    51. Volcano
    52. Iris.
    Bono here gets a little melancholy, explaining how the loss of his mother was the driving force behind him becoming an artist and how his father influenced him more than he knew whilst he was alive...
    53. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
    More Bonolese about family, loves and losses, etc, etc….
    54. Song for Someone
    55. Original of the Species
    Bono: “right, let's let the music do the talking” (thank fuck for that think the crowd)
    56. MoFo
    57. I Will Follow
    58. Exit
    59. Until the End of the World
    60. New Year's Day
    61. Miami
    62. Please
    63. Wake up Dead Man
    64. Breathe
    Bono “never played in public before…”
    65. Acrobat
    Hard core fans lose it. Some faint and medical attention is needed. Encore break.
    Massive flashlights shoot to the sky placing a silhouette on the clouds above of the Macphisto horns.
    Bono returns to the stage as Macphisto….
    66. Hold me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
    67. Daddy's Gonna Pay
    68. Dirty Day
    69. Zooropa
    70. Ultra Violet
    Macphisto attempts to phone Teresa May but accidentally gets Boris Johnson. Johnson's tirade to Macphisto is sufficient to get even the biggest Bono-haters to gather a mob to egg and flour Johnson's house with such ferocity that his front door becomes unusable and he ends up house bound because he's too stupid to understand the concept of a back door. Everybody is happy again.
    “Off with the horns and on with the show”
    71. Mysterious Ways.
    72. Stories for Boys
    73. Beautiful Day
    74. Electrical Storm
    75. Window in the Skies
    76. Invisible
    77. Ordinary Love
    78. With or without You
    79. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
    80. Love is Blindness
    Bono to shed the Macphisto make up back stage whilst Edge sings…
    81. Van Diemans Land
    82. Numb.
    Bono returns, now looking a little weary as the sun is starting to rise. He explains that the next few songs are for the sunrise.
    83. North Star
    84. Yahweh
    85. Your Blue Room (Adam does the speech at the end marking the first time his voice has ever been heard in stage in over 40 years of shows)
    86. Unknown Caller (organs segue into…)
    87. Streets (encore means to play again)
    88. “40”
    Everyone leaves stage bar Larry who bangs out the last beats of “40”, stands, nods to the crowd and leaves.
    All media crowns the gig as the best ever, the 4 members of the band are given the freedom of London and continue in the years to come to play unannounced gigs in the various band stands in the various parks around London, just playing requests.


  11. They'd still be playing now!

    And now having heard the new album, I know I'd want a couple more songs in there...ha.
