'Adding more?'

25 Mar 2010659
Speaking to Dave Fanning of Irelands's 2FM a few weeks back, Edge said the band had begun thinking about this year's shows. Dave mentioned that in 2009 there was always five or six songs from No Line on the Horizon: 'Would you keep that many?

'We were talking about adding more,' said Edge, in a decidedly enigmatic tone. 'Changing out some of the songs...'

And that was it, the subject was closed, he was giving nothing else away. But we can dream can't we ? So here's the thing: if you could add in a song from 'No Line' which wasn't a regular in the set last year ... what would it be?

And while you're musing on that one, what song from any earlier album, which didn't feature in 2009, would you love to hear in the mix this time around ?

Answers in the box below please. One different track from No Line, one other track from any earlier album. (And why, if you have the time...)

(If your memory needs refreshing on the songs the band were performing last year, check the 2009 dates and click on any city to see the set list.)

Added Songs
Add "White As Snow" from NLOTH and please bring "Bad" back to the set list.
winterlight1
please play Bad
I've seen U2 five times now, but never heard Bad...it's the one song I want to hear more than any other live! (All I Want is You is a runner up). I'd love it if one of these two made an appearance in Montreal!

from No Line: Fez - Being Born 'Cause it guarantees goosebumps older Title: Discotheque Basically the older brother of Crazy (live), those two in one show would rock!
palmeraa
Almost Perfect!!!
I would loove to hear Stand Up Comedy and pleaseeee dont ever take Ultraviolet off the show!!!!! It would be amazing to hear the riffs of Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses...or For The First Time!!! PLEASE COME TO ARGENTINA!!!!!!! I was lucky enough to catch the tour at Wembley..!!!
Tetine
Fez / Acrobat
Fez would be perfect as an opening song, and I want Acrobat because it would be a first =D But I would be more than happy to hear again Can't help falling in love, Exit, A sort of Homecoming, I Wil follow ...

What We Love from Minneapolis
Please keep "Ultraviolet"!!! Loved it on round 1 in Chicago. Also would love to hear "Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crash Car" and "So Cruel."

Don't expect, suggest!
I agree with the choice they did for last year's shows, but I'd love to hear I'll go Crazy in the studio version, and Winter! From the old albums, my biggest wish would be Acrobat...or A sort of Homecoming..or New Year's Day! My legs were shaking when I heard it in Dublin's third night!!!
craigdent
acrobat or drowning man
great album tracks that I dont think have ever been played live and U2 fans buy albums not singles so sometimes these songs are the way to go!

The one song...
There is one song that I would absolutely love to hear U2 play live. I will be going to my fourth U2 concert on July 3 2010 in Toronto and I would be in heaven if I could hear the boys play "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses." I always hope that it will be played and I am stilling hoping they will play it at one of the concerts! It's my all-time favourite if I had to choose!

Two great songs!
From No Line: Stand Up Comedy And boys, how about the only song off Achtung Baby that has never been played live? Acrobat!!! Please do it!!
Scott Cleaver
Change it up!!!!
I would add FEZ-being born as the start of the encore...a perfect way to reignite the crowds...and I would also add Stand UP Comedy...a great track which I am sure will be amazing live...and should be released as the 4th single from NLOTH. another track I would add is Babyface or better sill ZooRopa...as it would fit the Claw style both pyhsically and sonically!!!! Cheers Scottie (NZ)...ps: Come head down under again too...come 360 with us :)

New Songs
I would add Stand Up Comedy! Play Bad again! Please finish with 40!!! Moment is a great song, but its not an emotional show ender like 40...

now that song live would be very, very trippy... and Willie could have some great fun with visuals as well!

A Sort of Homecoming
To be honest of the four that weren't played live, all of which are grand songs, there's no obvious choice. Stand Up Comedy is a rocker that might work. As for the old tune I'm going to go with A Sort of Homecoming.

A song to add
It would be great if they would add "Two Hearts Beat As One". My wife and I are driving from Austin TX to see the show in Denver for our 25th anniversary. It was the first song we danced to at our wedding reception in 1985. It was cool to learn Bono wrote it on his honeymoon. It would be so cool to have them play it for us for our 25th anniversary!

what i missed...
..and still miss! - Fez/Being born...as 1st song of the show....would be INCREDIBLE. experimental song, amazing structure, great mood... i really hope to hear that song in TURIN! - old song...uhmm.. even better than the real thing! or drowning man... your blue room...Gloria... Exit..... or anything from POP (but i know that would impossible;)) - LOVE YOU! aure//italy//dreaming out loud

Songs to add
Add: Stand Up Comedy. More rockin songs is always good for a show. Add: Daddy's Gonna Pay or Dirty Day. Please throw Zooropa a bone will ya? Don't discard: No Line. Like I said, the more rockin songs the better. Remove: Moment of Surrender. Like the song, but as a show ender it really felt a little flat.
electricardoso
Please add this ones...
Stand up comedy (and play the album version of "I'll go crazy") From an earlier album play Exit please. If you don't want to play this fabulous song could you play In God's Country guys???
nekolou

kwi
Dreams can come true...
Ok...I'd love Fez to be played. As for other songs - anything off October, Exit or Acrobat.

New songs
Stand up Comedy (from NLOTH) and acrobat!! That would be cool!!
podiumboy
adding songs
Stand Up Comedy Mofo, Exit or Dirty Day
nator1270
Unforgettable Fire
Bad would be exceptional in a live setting again.
Galeongir
Needs moar Pop!
I would love to hear Fez-Being Born. I reckon with the Fez intro it would do absolutely great as either the opener or the encore opener. For the other song, I would have to pick MoFo. This song is just too awesome not to play on a stage that just BEGS for a Pop song! Please don't take out any NLOTH songs, they're doing fine. A little less ATYCLB would be nice though.

Older is better
Older songs please! No line only has about three good songs, any more would be painful to sit through. Elctric Co, Exit, Lemon, In God's country.
boedu2
my desire
Fez and Stand Up Comedy....and old songs Wire, Hawkmoon 269, Fire, Touch, One Tree Hill, Elvis Presley & America, Acrobat, Zooropa, Gone, When I Look At The World, Crumbs From Your Table, and any side b as Luminous Times, Walk to The Water, Here She Comes Hallelujah, Holy Joe, Salome and left the band to complete each one more and you're done the set list 2010 ... dreaming is free
