'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.)

Help out a fellow Irishman in Seville!
Stand Up Comedy, White As Snow, Cedars Of Lebanon & start the show with Fez - Being Born. That´s what I´d love to hear in Seville on Wednesday, Seprember 29th - I can always hope! Plus of course "40" as it will be my wife´s 40th the next day! Therefore, I´d be one happy guy, in the capital of flamenco, if that was to happen! C´mon guys, help out a fellow Irishman by doing this!!!

Fez-being born - this song is powerful and transcedent so it could fit in oriental part of concert with other song from No Line... or Achtung Baby such as Magnificent or Mysterious Ways. It is also good warm up and sync for both the band and the crowd... The Fly Fast Cars Lemon In God's Country Exit Acrobat Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses Bad ... P.S. I don't prefer the disco mixes

FEZ - Being Born and Mofo
Please add FEZ - Being Born. It's the best U2 song in 10 years. And another song I'd love to see is Mofo.

Stand Up Comedy - a song that is made for a live stadium setting. You can just hear 90,000 people belting out "stand up for your love". Also has the vibe of a song that bono could add some great snippets during. Please - this stage is custome built for a Pop song. Would love to see Please and SBS rotate through the tour. A Crazy Tonight fade down with the "not a hill it's a mountain" while Please starts to build. GOLD! Or, go from Crazy Tonight into Mofo or Discotheque - why, because it would be brilliant.

Fez/Being Born would be amazing if it were rearranged for the live setting. Last Night on Earth under the claw would be bone shattering, as would Mofo. On a lighter note, I think Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World would be nice too.

Adding songs
Off NLOTH: Fez-Being Born - it'd be a wonderful addition! Older songs: Where to start...I'll pick the song that'd be so incredibly perfect for the stage...MOFO!!!!!!

Mofo and Drowning Man
Pleaseeeeee.

For me my Favourites are,
"Stand Up Comedy" from Horizon. But I must say I would love to hear "Love Comes Tumbling" and " The Drowning Man" live. Bono puts so much feeling into those songs. Also Maybe "Big Girls Are Best" and "Two Hearts Beat As One" especially the Vinyl remix that came as a second record with The Unforgettable Fire Album.

From No line... definitely Stand up comedy...it must sound amazing live....and as good as the remix is for I'll go crazy..... I'd love for them to play the album version. From past albums: The fly...always amazing live.....and even though it did feature 3 times....Electrical storm....it waited so long to debut live to only be played on 3 shows.

new and old
definitely white as snow,was very surprised it didn't get an airing at croker,as for older stuff,two hearts was always my favourite from the war album so it'd be amazing to hear that next year at the new aviva stadium in dublin.

Requests
From No Line, I would love to hear Stand Up Comedy. Just fun funky beats that would seem to come even more exciting live. From an earlier record, I think Acrobat or In God's Country would be appropriate in America given the climate.

FEZ BEING BORN
Come on please give this song the chance of Being Born all over the world!! And keep ...Amazing Grace into Streets!!!!
soulfly_09
Get up, Stand up!
well, hard to decide, but 'stand up comedy' should be part of the show and i'd love to hear 'starring at the sun' on a beautiful summers night in vienna....c u (ultra violet is a MUST!)

From NLOTH: Fez (Being Born), a real trip; from an earlier album: Exit, for its intensity or Drowning Man... :-)
