  1. I've been gone for a couple of months but i'm back, let's go back to the Predictions

    Miss Sarajevo - 70%. In 1993 while U2 were in the ZOOTV Tour, the band became involved with Sarajevo and conducted nightly satellite interviews with Bosnians during their shows and that inspired the band to play Miss Sarajevo with Pavarotti in 1995. Pavarotti and Bono matching together was cool. Bono has mentioned this story numerous times on the Stories of Surrender Tour, You can hear it as an instrumental version with Pavarotti's voice on the other end. But Miss Sarajevo has rarely been played in most tours, the first time it ever appeared in a U2 Tour was when the band was surprisingly enough in Sarajevo back in September of 1997 it was played in the encore, and then it wasn't played anymore until it finally made its reemergence eight years later replacing the Bullet The Blue Sky/Running To Stand Still combo as the combo was now Bullet The Blue Sky & Miss Sarajevo in the Vertigo Tour but with Sarajevo being played in stripped down acoustic full band piano style similar to Running To Stand Still. Sarajevo would somehow make it to the 360 tour missing 2 legs as it was a seque into In A Little While, And also in a stripped down piano style once more and at the Clinton Show with an Orchestra featuring Bono and the Edge, After not being on the Innocence & Experience Tour. It was done in the encore in the Joshua Tree Tour, it was played in studio style electric. It was the next to last song for a few until switching it around to the start of the first encore until Beautiful Day won back the first encore in the 3rd leg. And then it was not around the E&I Tour and even the 2019 Joshua Tree Tour when it was expected, but as we said on the Stories of Surrender Tour, it was an instrumental version. So, Yes. You could give Sarajevo a spot in the setlist cause you have 25 shows, and you have a lot and I mean a lot of songs to play if you wanna give the Post Achtung Baby & Zooropa Nod.

    Discotheque - 65% - After Achtung Baby and Zooropa, U2 had ventured into Pop and started off with the heavy hitting and hard smashing Discotheque. U2 wanted to prove that they still wanted to dominate the 90s Alternative as always cause while U2 were making their name in the Alternative Form to Achtung Baby, others like Foo Fighters, Counting Crows, Alice N' Chains, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Goo Goo Dolls, Depeche Mode and other artists from the Alternative World had knocked down 90s hits one right after the other. U2 wanted to do the same thing and that they did, now seeing as Pop was not as successful, you have to admit Discotheque is very much a funky rocking hit on Pop. Done as an encore in the Pop Tour. You would think they would play this as an encore after the Achtung Baby Songs in it's entirety. Discotheque's last appearance was back in September of 2005 after it was played 2 times in the Vertigo Tour. If U2 wants to bring this song back to tour, then the least they could do is play it.

    If God Will Send His Angels - 55%. It's been so long since If God Will Send His Angels had been on tour, made the Pop opening night in full band form and then it got stripped down in Acoustic form in the middle of the first leg until it was dropped for New Year's Day, but in Songs of Surrender as you can see, If God Will Send His Angels is now a piano version and that's what needs to happen live, with the new version of it on Songs of Surrender. I would totally play the thing, Not do it every 25 shows, just save some room for Acoustic Songs of Surrender versions cause everyone knows most likely that there will be Songs of Surrender Versions!.

    Staring At The Sun - 50%. - And speaking of Acoustic, we have to talk about Staring at The Sun, in the Early beginnings of the pop tour, it was done in full band and electric form, but then it was stripped down into the Acoustic Set and the band had done it ever since from all the way to Pop and Elevation, but it missed the Vertigo and 360 Tours until it's rare appearance in the Clinton Performance with an orchestra, that could've been the perfect way to bring it back to Innocence & Experience and it never showed, but finally we would see it pop back up on Experience & Innocence in acoustic form as it was sequed right into Pride. I would believe Staring at The Sun will be in the set if they can make up for that Las Vegas Incident with the first night on the Pop Tour back in 1997. Don't think we've forgotten about it.

    Please - 35%. - I will give this 35% because with the talk of the nation being undivided, Please is a right answer to the call to end the hatred of America and all over the world. Last time they did this song was in an Acoustic form in the Elevation Tour and then it would be used as a snippet to Bullet The Blue Sky, Sunday Bloody Sunday and I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight!. This song should be resurrected in full electric form if they want to bring it back.
  2. Your predictions for the U2 setlist are interesting, especially songs like "Miss Sarajevo" and "Discotheque" have great potential for a comeback. Hope to see some great performances on the upcoming tour!
