U2 Set Looks Heavy On 90's Material

[wbarenno]

Setlist from opeing night of new leg of tour..

Even Better Than The Real Thing, I Will Follow, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Mysterious Ways, Elevation, Until The End Of The World, Happy Birthday, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Pride (In The Name Of Love), Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Beautiful Day / Rain (snippet), Miss Sarajevo, Zooropa, City Of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight / Discothèque (snippet) / Please (snippet), Sunday Bloody Sunday, Scarlet, Walk On / You'll Never Walk Alone (snippet)

encores: One, Amazing Grace (snippet) / , Where The Streets Have No Name, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, With Or Without You, Moment of Surrender

So exactly the same as before....(apart from Please snipet) Jesus - don't they get bored...?

.

If I'm honest I'd be really really disappointed by this set if I got this at Glasto...Getting a bit nearer the time for comfort now

Got a bad feeling they will play more Elavation/ Get on your Boots/ Vertigo/ I'll Go Crazy/ Hold me/ party jumpy songs to cater for the morons and they'll miss out on the more depth of Bad/ unforgettable fire/ ultraviolet etc..I think they think this is what we all want - to party woooop, with, to quote CLayton, "on substances"

f**king shame if they do...

Plenty of gigs for them to warm up for glasto yet though , remember this was the 1st of 3 gigs in mexico and they always change the set list around when they do 3 shows.

Excellent, another U2 thread. Just what we needed..

[Wooderson]

Excellent, another comment about the amount of U2 threads. Just what every U2 thread needs.

Here's a tip for you. Read the topic heading before you click on it and then you wont be disappointed by the content.

[Torcs4]

In comments last year, when they were still 'on' for 2010, they said that setlist-wise, they were going in with the idea being "If you only see U2 once in your life." I don't think it's too hard to guess what sort of stuff they'll play (Greatest Hits - but with an attempt to show range), and a rough idea of what kind of order they'll play it. They'll want to come out swinging with a few big punches up front, then they'll go a bit all over the place in the middle, then a run home of the 'monster' songs. Easy to predict. Different running order to a standard 360 show, where that order is heavily determined by staging/theatrics, but its now hard to take, say, a list of their 30 most well known/most played songs, and then the 20 they play will all come from that. Nothing outside of that.

set list looks pretty good to me. That encore (alone) would be amazing.

[danbailey80]

I want to see at least 1 of the following.

Bad, Ultraviolet or Unforgetable Fire.

These songs belong, for me, to a certain type of U2 that I find incredible. They sound like U2 and U2 only.

I guess I'm not keen on Virtigo, Boots, Elevation and Hold me because they actually could be someone else..

If they play that type of set I'll still love it, just get the nagging feeling this could be a missed opportunity to show a more 'Real' U2, (cliche I know).So many people don't know this side of Bono and I'm not sure we'll get it..

Surely a song about his best mate "taking enough heroin on his 18th birthday to kill him" is better than Elevation..

I would think Bad would be a lock. Unforgettable Fire and Ultra Violet, not so sure, think both of those are the kind of songs that might miss out on a shorter/greatest hits set.

Here's a good recent version of Bad, from late last year. Pretty crap video, but Bono is great at the end.

Is anyone else not arsed about Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me in the slightest or am I missing something with it ?

[Roger Explosion]

Stay (far away, so close)... I would die happily if they did a decent version of this. Yet to find a proper live version on youtube or anywhere. Always acoustic.

If that's the Glastonbury setlist their place at the top table of legendary Glastonbury headlining performances is assured

[1waveydavey]

You know what - all the negative posters can leave us to to it.

This U2 set is the biggest festival set on the planet this year, I honestly believe that, there is no way I would be anywhere else that night.

And when I go there, I go there with you....

[The Goo Goo Doll]

That setlist's not bad.

I'd like 'Bad' and 'Sometimes You can't make it on your own' to be played.

But yeah, I'd be loving that setlist. As would (I reckon) most people.

[smash]

I long for a best of. It would be the best thing on the pyramid for years!
