Craft your night one/night two sets

[Axver]

For old time's sake I might as well kick us off with a little custom setlist thread. It's not quite a "predict next tour's set" thread, in that the concept of this one comes with three criteria:

1. Assume that over half of the songs played on night one won't be played on night two.
2. The distinction between the two nights is not acoustic/electric. The band flagged in interviews that if they were to do this, they would need to make it abundantly clear to fans before tickets are purchased - people will be upset if they find themselves holding tickets to a format they don't want. No such signal was given to fans.
3. The distinction between the two nights is not hits/rarities. Again, a signal needed to be given to fans.

Beyond that, go nuts.

Here are a couple from me.

NIGHT ONE

1. The Miracle
2. Volcano
3. Vertigo
4. Mysterious Ways
5. California
6. Angel of Harlem
7. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
8. All I Want Is You
9. Song for Someone (acoustic)
10. Stuck in a Moment (acoustic)
11. A Man and a Woman (acoustic)
12. Every Breaking Wave (acoustic)
13. Bad
14. With or Without You
15. Where the Streets Have No Name
16. Beautiful Day

17. The Fly
18. Cedarwood Road
19. Please
20. Sunday Bloody Sunday

21. Magnificent
22. One
23. Love Is Blindness
24. The Troubles

NIGHT TWO

1. Invisible
2. Beautiful Day
3. I Will Follow
4. This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now
5. Elevation
6. Even Better Than the Real Thing
7. Magnificent
8. Desire (acoustic)
9. The Miracle (acoustic)
10. Staring at the Sun (acoustic)
11. Every Breaking Wave (acoustic)
12. Raised By Wolves
13. Sunday Bloody Sunday
14. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
15. Mysterious Ways
16. Vertigo

17. Bullet the Blue Sky
18. Running to Stand Still
19. Where the Streets Have No Name
20. Out of Control

21. Volcano
22. Gloria
23. Iris
24. Pride

Both include seven new songs, both have plenty of hits to keep casuals entertained, and both have some fan favourites to keep hardcore fans happy (including some Pop representation), yet they are very different shows. I just realised that I forgot to put One in the second set and it's unlikely it would miss a night ... oh well. Maybe put it in place of Pride to close?

In the above I wasn't really consciously thinking of how one night might represent Innocence and one Experience. If we run with the theory of Innocence meaning more eighties songs and Experience nineties, then try this on for size:

NIGHT ONE
Innocence/Eighties

1. The Miracle
2. Vertigo
3. Out of Control
4. In God's Country
5. California
6. A Sort of Homecoming
7. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
8. All I Want Is You
9. Song for Someone (acoustic)
10. Angel of Harlem (acoustic)
11. Drowning Man (acoustic)
12. Every Breaking Wave (acoustic)
13. Tomorrow
14. Iris
15. Bad
16. Bullet the Blue Sky
17. Rasied by Wolves
18. Sunday Bloody Sunday
19. Pride
20. Beautiful Day

21. Where the Streets Have No Name
22. I Will Follow
23. Magnificent
24. 40

NIGHT TWO
Experience/Nineties-2000s

1. Invisible
2. Beautiful Day
3. This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now
4. Mysterious Ways
5. Even Better Than the Real Thing
6. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
7. Volcano
8. Get on Your Boots
9. Elevation
10. Stuck in a Moment (acoustic)
11. Every Breaking Wave (acoustic)
12. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (acoustic)
13. A Man and a Woman (acoustic)
14. Kite
15. One
16. Love Is Blindness
17. The Troubles
18. Where the Streets Have No Name
19. New Year's Day
20. Walk On

21. I Will Follow
22. Lemon
23. Iris
24. Moment of Surrender

I think you'll see Vertigo and not Boots, but other than that, these look pretty realistic.

I think we'll get 15/16 backbone songs that will be the same each night. The usual warhorses + the new album. However, they will have a night 1 order, and a night 2 order. These will stay consistent throughout the tour.

Then we'll have 7-8 songs that will be comprised of the innocence/ experience theme. I think that will be earlier tunes up till 90'/ then 91' forward.

I predict that they will also embrace social media to some degree, by allowing fans to vote on a song or two they'd most like to hear. The vote will be from a predetermined list of maybe 5- 10 songs that they have rehearsed.

I'm thinking the innocence/ experience theme would be one night early tunes, one night newer tunes and you wouldn't know until the show which one you're getting. Sort of like the encores on Vertigo. We didn't know if we were getting blasted with Zoo Station or taking a nap with The First Time. (Good song, but inappropriate placement in my opinion).

Night 1:

Night 2:

I'd settle for 1 night shit I don't wanna hear and have a zoo/achtung/pop party on the 2nd night (with Lemon opening).

[d.darroch]

Thanks Ax, that was a fun process. Both nights plenty of SOI (all songs at some stage) , it's a good album. Night 1 with pre-AB, night 2 with AB onwards, with a little overlap, can't miss Streets! Realistic? No, Bono better keep an eye on that teleprompter, he's got lots of lyrics to memorise, even a few songs on rotation.
