I would like to see them reclaim Walk On. I mean we know who it was written for but the lyrics lend themselves to a number of interpretations. Post 9/11 for example.

Originally posted by kris_smith87:Just came up with this. Going to give it a listen tomorrow and see how it flows:
Intro PA Song: Needs some thought. Something very political.
1. The Blackout
2. The Fly
3. Elevation
4. You're The Best Thing About Me
5. Get Out Of Your Own Way
6. American Soul
7. The Refugee
8. Red Flag Day
9. With Or Without You
10. Beautiful Day
11. The Showman (Bono starts hamming it up in and around the screen)
12. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me (in the screen)
13. Disotheque (walking out of the screen like the Lemon)
14. Vertigo
15. Sunday Bloody Sunday
16. Summer Of Love
17. All I Want Is You/Landlady snippet (I'm picturing a really passionate "When all/I want/Is you followed by "The Landlady...takes me up...in the air...")
18. One
19. Love Is All We Have Left)snippet)/Where The Streets Have No Name/Love Is All We Have Left (snippet)
20. "And love..love is all we have left..." into Walk On
21. Kite
22. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
(I'm picturing these powerful heartfelt songs to end the main set because the encore will be all about being home and love)
23. Lights Of Home
24. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
25. Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
* I feel like the encore needs one more song... something that fits the theme of going home and love. Possibly Zoo Station?
Thoughts?

The past few tours the U2 setlist has been built around the thematic flow of the lyrical content to tell a story, with each song acting as a scene in a wider story and the band using their previous songs to recontextualise and tell a tale.This tour will be no different, and if I had to guess a theme, it would be about mortality, love, and the passage of time.
