'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.)

Love U2 from the days , been to 2 concerts in Tampa,wish i had time to see them more than that, i have all the CD..Just ,,the best '' In my opinion the best album of all time is ,,The Joshua ''.. Some songs they don;t make it to the most popular but the one i think is under-rated as a substance is "PLEASE ".. Love this song and the beat...

Bad,Kite, Winter and Acrobat!!

white as snow/electrical storm
l don't like a mere two selections...but l chose these because l feel both have character befitting the other, yet the male / female or soul/love either tear and grab for the other. similarily without black -white is nothing. viva U2

Would love to hear
Thought "I'll Go Crazy" was amazing!!! Please continue to play it! "All I Want is You" is my all time favorite. "All Because of You", "Bullet", " I WIll Follow" REALLY MISSED THE TRADITIONAL 40!!! Nothing like leaving a stadium and the entire crowd singing "how long, to sing this song", through the parking lot!

new set list
Would love to hear the album version of I'll Go Crazy and possibly Stand Up Comedy. As for an older song Who's gonna Ride Your Wild Horses would be awesome!

stand up comedy
I think its a raw fantastic rock song that gells all the band together and id say its one song that would make the band CLICK big time on stage. also think it would fit into the 360 set very well. DOM LIMK CITY IRE.

Stand Up Comedy for sure; keep No line, Breathe, and the original version of I'll Go Crazy from the new album. for the other song, Last Night on Earth.

Every show would have: Bad, Exit, New Year's Day, Gloria & Gone Shake up songs would included: An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart, Bullet the Blue Sky, 11 O' Clock TIck Tock, The Fly, Zoo Station & A Sort Of Homecoming. Now, that would be cool!

Song I'd like to hear
A Celebration, absolutely love that song. In all the times I've seen U2, I've never heard it live. I agree with Stand Up Comedy too, it a cool song, off NLOTH. And Fez too.

KITE in Anaheim!!!!!

Stand Up Comedy and WIRE
Gotta be those two.

You Gotta Love Them
They should include Stand Up from NLOTH, and include either Hawkmoon or One Tree Hill because they're class. There are plenty more I could mention though !!!!

October before TUF
I think October would make a really nice addition, just before The Unforgettable Fire. As for songs songs from NLOTH, Fez-Being Born would make an awesome opening, while Winter would fit in perfectly near the end of the show. And please bring 360 to New Zealand!

Go for Broke
I think they should just go for it and totally mix it up again and play Mofo from Pop Hawkmoon from Rattle & Hum and Daddys Gonna Pay or Lemon from Zooropa. They really need to mix up the setlist again as much for themselves as the fans... dublin....

FEZ - A Sort Of Homecoming . . .
FEZ -Being Born Or Cedar Of Lebanon ; in fact anything from NLOH which is a Masterpiece Album ! A Sort Of Homecoming cause last time it was played in Paris = 1985 and I was Not there , I Really Really Want to Hear this song Live one Day . . . So . . See You in Paris and Brussels . . .

Set list additions
I wouldn't mind hearing 'White As Snow' from NLOTH, its such a soft and ethereal song. From past albums it is a toss up for me, I would love to hear 'A Sort Of Homecoming' and I am always up for hearing "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses". Kelsey

New NLOTH Song
STAND UP COMEDY!!! From other albums, The Fly or Love and Peace or Else. But my favourite would be Angel of Harlem.

Stand Up
Stand up comedy for sure. It would be great to go from the new live mix of I'll go crazy into something from Pop, like mofo. And please move mysterious ways down the setlist and let it air out 7 min style like its supposed to. If you really want to slay the crowd bring back Love and Peace and Bullet the Blue Sky, even better if they're altered some for current sake
