An A to Z of 'U22'

20 Dec 2011200
Paul McGuinness has seen the band play live more than anyone else.

From the most intimate Dublin club in the 1970's  to the biggest stages on the planet on U2360°,  Paul knows what it takes for a U2 live show to leave the ground ... and what tracks will send it into orbit.

So how would the band's manager take on the tricky task of choosing 22 tracks for 'U22' from the 46 on offer?  Here's his selection -  tell us what you think in the comments below. They're listed alphabetically - you might want to tell us how you'd sequence them in the show.  (Voting is now closed on 'U22'. We'll be publishing the results in the very near future... stay tuned.)


All I Want is You  
Bad
Beautiful Day
City of Blinding Lights
I'll go Crazy if I don't go Crazy Tonight (Remix)
In a Little While
I Still Haven't Found  
Miss Sarajevo
Moment of Surrender
Mysterious ways

One Tree Hill
Stay  
Stuck in a moment
The Fly

Please! I went crazy when I heard the first guitar note at the show!!! AND NO!!! No for I'll GO CRAZY... it really suck! Not for the CD. Sorry...
greydogblues
interesting!
i may have missed it someplace, but, i'd also be interested to see Larry, Adam, Bono & Edge's choices... as for me, i'd include Mercy...still hoping for a wonderful release of "new" stuff with proceeds split among the causes that mean so much to the band and their families.

Safe List
Not too much deviation from the last setlist there Mac.
JackBuoscio
Like it...but...
nothing from the first three BOY, WAR, OCTOBER album???
rainer
no sexy boots...
thank you! Thanks for not selecting "boots"... let me know, mr. mc guiness: why are the first singles most time the non-mainstream-songs? wouldn't it be better to release songs like "one", "stay", "original of a species", "magnificant" as first relaese (instead of "fly", "numb", "vertigo" and "boots")?!?

well i think he is forgetting a couple o
i think for the hardcore fans like myself even better than the real thing at least this version is a killer,zooropa should be there and lets not talk about with or with out you, but thinking ahead, next tour special song should be lady with the spinnig head,and the ground beneath her feet and then i die happy.

Not bad!??!
Honestly, the release should be book-ended by Even Better and Zooropa. Killer versions on this tour!

Bullet The Blue

Sorry thought this was the official CD
Sorry for the rant. Thought this was the final decision for the CD. Hopefully it isn't! GO VOTE FOR THE RARE TRACKS!

Zooropaaaaaaa
Stupid voters!
Sigma957
Which is why he doesn't decide the setli
Paul, "In A Little While", really?
zoohollander
part 2
i think u2 .com has to made a part 2 album...l..so many great tracks.. and eueueh happy xmas and a great 2012
dukes
How about these?
So very hard to pick just 22 but how about giving "Pop" some love: I'd say "Do You Feel Loved?" and "Please" could easily be on the list. And oh yeah, what about "New Year's Day"?
