Showtime 2011

10 Feb 2011283
This tour started way back in June 2009 and now here we are in February 2011.

But every time the tour opens up on a new leg, the band, as Edge says, think about 'changing things up'.

Last year, hundreds of you told us of  songs you'd like them to put into the European leg - an unplayed track from 'No Line' or a classic from an earlier album.

But no-one could have guessed that a handful of unreleased tracks - North Star, Return of the Stingray Guitar, Glastonbury etc - would arrive in the show nor that Love Rescue Me, which hadn't been performed for twenty years, would make a reappearance down under.

The year before no-one predicted that Ultraviolet or Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me would become 360 showstoppers.

So what would be a great surprise to hear in the show in 2011?

Let's do what we did last year: what's a songs you'd love to see in the set, that hasn't turned up on the tour to date ? One song only and why you'd love to hear it.

(Click on a city in these 2009 or 2010 dates to remind yourself what songs have been in the set in the tour so far.)

Achtung Baby
For a brief moment, a return to the dirty, sexy industrial sound would be incredible. The Fly, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World. All fantastic songs.
Damian Byrne
Keep UV in the set
....and add So Cruel

It would be great for the visuals...
At first I was thinking "Drowning Man," because of the wonderful lyrics, but I'm not sure it would fit in the setlist all that well. But what *would* fit perfectly is another never-before-played-live song...Lady With The Spinning Head. Lyrics would lend themselves to great visuals, and it could be a lot of fun. Boys, work on it and save it for Nashville in July!

Even Better Than The Real Thing
I believe it would be so gooooooooooooood to have Even Better Than The Real Thing played in São Paulo 2nd night! It would be a perfect dancing combination with Crazy Tonight. Brazilian people love to party! In the other hand, BAD and STAY would also score as BREATH and NO LINE as well!

It's good listen Ultraviolet, Please, Dancing Barefoot, Another Time Another Place or Gone in Brazilians shows.

Please play some Pop
Hey U2, remember that album from which you've only played one song, on two occasions since the Elevation tour? If you really want us to believe you're fearless with your new material, maybe an acknowledgement of past material would be a good start. You teased us with snippets of Mofo and Discotheque during 360 (heck, you even brought the Discotheque snippet back for the last show in Perth, a sign of someto bething brave to come?) so I know you haven't completely forgotten about Pop. I'm sure many of your fans would love to hear some songs from it (and if they don't, they're sure to be convinced otherwise once they hear them with a fresh coat of paint)! Psst... Zooropa has more tracks in it than 'Stay' on it as well ;)

Please, play Kite
It's a wonderfull music and help my to find the way...
cluttercoco
Please play Please!!
I would dearly LOVE to hear Please again!!! I think that this song is so powerful when played live(one of my favourite live songs by U2). It is also one of my favourite U2 tunes of all time. I regularly listen to the live EP that was released that had Please flowing into 'Streets'. What a magic combo those two songs were together. Goosebumps every time. I am going to both Montreal shows, Toronto and Moncton. Pretty Please? :-) PS Anything from Pop would be great really, but please not the obvious one (Staring at the sun, even though that one is amazing on Artificial Horizon)
