The U2 warm up threads

[russycarps]

Did you see a 360^o tour show Tuggs? Bono's voice is the best its been in nearly 20 years. Unforgettable Fire sounds superb. But the new stuff just doesnt cut the mustard.

Breathe/Boots/remix of Crazy Tonight/Moment of Surrender/Magnificent will all be played at Glasto.

I would love them to play "One Tree Hill" and "Hold Me Thrill Me" and "Love Is Blindness" too mate. Honestly I would! haha

But it ain't gonna happen. We'll be lucky if we get "Desire".

Hope youre back rejuvinated lad.

So the chances of Love is Blindness are near enough zero then? How about October? Can we at least say the New Years Day is guaranteed?

[Wooderson]

So the chances of Love is Blindness are near enough zero then?

Don't worry they can get worse than that.

[Boss84]

nah... anything post Achung Baby should be banned!

[firstglasto]

Not sure if somebody has said this already i would check but i'm really lazy anyway U2 release new album songs of ascent in june 2010

[The Nal]

This would be nice if they played this, especially if Bono did the Pavarotti bit. Most impressive thing Ive ever seen Bono do. In Rome too, mega ballsy.

[Langdale Wolf]

Bump.

Using data posted in this thread, as well as googling a typical U2 2009 setlist, I have created a U2 warm up playlist for my ipod.

This isn't my favourite U2 list, just a rough estimate of what they might play and in what order, going by their recent sets.

I have thrown a couple of other songs that they probably won't play on it (I can't see any examples of Kite being played last year - boo!) just in case they throw a few surprises. Anyway, LW's U2 Glastonbury 2010 warm up playlist:

Breathe

No Line On The Horizon

Angel of Harlem

Get On Your Boots

Kite

Magnificent

Beautiful Day

Elevation

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of

Stay (Faraway, So Close)

Unknown Caller

City of Blinding Lights

Vertigo

The Unforgettable Fire

I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Pride (In The Name of Love)

MLK

Walk On

Where The Streets Have No Name

One

Bad

Until The End of the World

In A Little While

Mysterious Ways

Ultra Violet (Light My Way)

With Or Without You

Moment Of Surrender

Thanks to Wooderson for many recommendations over the past months.

Until The End of the World, possibly my favourite track from Achtung Baby.

Personally I would shift down Where The Streets Have No Name to maybe 2nd or 3rd from the end.

Just going by the setlists I saw online. It was never in the encore.

Personally, I'd start any encore with Bad.

[Tugger2k]

Pleasures all mine bruv!

Pretty realistic selection above - swap "In A Little While" for "Kite" and you've got 95% of what will be played at Glasto. Those of you out there not familiar with U2's stuff need only look at LW's post to see what you'll be hearing this summer.

- - -

I'd be very VERY disappointed if "I Will Follow" doesnt get an airing.

[Wooderson]

Bump.

In A Little While

Thanks to Wooderson for many recommendations over the past months.

[BonnetBird]

Basically if you wanna catch up with the latest incarnation of U2 on tour you can't go wrong with the above list from LW. "Kite" aside every song could be played in June at Michael's field.

[Wooderson]

i want new years day and bullet, but pretty sanguine about it condsidering just HOW many tunes they have to pick from.

gonna be a good day at the pyramid, sooooo looking forward to it

[Wooderson]

That would be a shame. Kite is one of their best - that soaring guitar just before "I'm a maaaan.." - lovely.

[Tugger2k]

NYD sounded super when I heard it last year. I know tonyblair loves Bullet The Blue Sky aswell... I always viewed it more of a theatrical song... a blank slate the band could use to highlight a current injustice. It ain't a patch on some of the other choons on JT lad.
