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.)

Calls the shots
This looks a lot like the setlist for 2/3 of the tour...does he get to decide instead of the band? That could explain dropping No Line and IALW

Great setlist but...
I'm glad that songs like Unknown Caller,Ultraviolet,The Fly and Streets are on here but I think "Real Thing" "Zooropa" and "I Will Follow" deserve to be on the list. Especially Real Thing that opener is something I'll remember forever. " YOU TAKE US HIGHERRRRR"

Good & Bad..!!!
Very good selection Paul...Especially UnKnown Caller...however I have to say "Crazy Tonight Remix" is absolute garbage. I was shocked the first time I heard it...and the next time was at Wembley.. In a word Rubbish. The album version is absolutley such a fantastic song.."Shouting to the darkness..We'll squeeze those spots of light"..!! Just pure brillance. U2 are a Rock Band and the biggest..not a dance outfit. Lets keep it that way Paul and The boys.

No Zooropa?
C'mon Paul!
Slipstream
Perfect
Perfect set list

good choice
Hello I would have chosen the same songs!!
Vertigo3333
Not Bad
Not a bad list, but it's missing what I think are three important songs, "Even Better Than The Real Thing", "Zooropa" and Out Of Control". I would organize it like a show setlist, maybe with "Streets" as the opener, then similar to how the last leg was organized.

No Sunday?
Sunday Bloody Sunday not in Paul's list?

Good Choices
So hard to narrow it down to 22 songs! I would include Breathe and Get On Your Boots in the above choices.

Great choices from Paul - he has done wonderful things for U2 and they for him - keep the great music coming - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!!

: )
so sad my favourite is not in... Anyway... I think you can order songs from the eldest to the most recent one. Or, even better, you can leave them in the same order you have sung them during the tour. Love... : )
Vinnie boy
Suprised!
No mention of Get on your boots, No line on the horizon, Breathe & Magnificent? Not a fan of the new album Mr McGuinness? Thumbs up for One tree hill

Nice
That is a BEAUTIFUL selection of songs Paul!
FarEastClub
Good selection
I like a song "Bad". When I get this copy?
pain_18_
Nothing else to say
What else to say..all U2 tracks are good, I'm glad he didn't leave out the Achtung Baby tracks..they're a must!!
