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.)

STAND UP COMEDY
This is a really good song. It has a good vibe. Stand Up Comedy should be played in the next tour dates.

It would be amazing to see what you do with this song in your space station! It was a great opener for the Popmart Tour, maybe this time as the encore opener?

On 6/17/11 Dinsneyland will not be the happiest place on earth, U2 playing at Angel Stadium will be the happiest place on earth. Mickey wants to hear New Years Day & Love Comes Tumbling.

Bring Back Breathe!
After the brutal loss of it on the Rose Bowl DVD, please apologize and bring back Breathe! Songs I would love to hear, and am also seeing votes for: Wire, Please, Gone, Discotheque, Acrobat, Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World, So Cruel, Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car. Songs to Avoid: I'll Go Crazy Remix(Pop Album imposter), Pride, New Year's Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday. Other than I'll Go Crazy, those other songs I don't want to hear are classic, but I've heard them at 7 of the 8 U2 shows I've been to. I know it can't be a show for only us diehards, so With Or Without You still belongs....but us diehards can dream...right?

My list
Well 'Last Night on Earth' fits this stage setting very well I guess and it could bring it little bit more noise to the setlist which I think slows down a little bit to often. So an occasional replacement for songs like 'city of blinding lights' or 'sunday bloody sunday'. Think it could work very well. Maybe bring in Lemon towards the end of the set. Could work great in a new setting with edge on piano maybe? Drop the Stingray opening by the way. A show opening needs more drama like the Zoo one or Pop. Don't forget you're superstars... Breathe worked pretty good but apparently others didn't think so. In short: no greatest hits tour, more courage, more trash, more noise... and a proper Bluray to capture it. Good luck!

Let Love Flow :)
Guys we are all on edge for this concert :))))) It don't really matter what song line up you play... i've been a fan since the eighties.... so to hear and see you again in South Africa is truly a blessing... I say go with the flow and let it roll. Thanks for coming back to South Africa.... and in the future if you decide to come back, i will be there to see you guys again. Just want to say to Bono... keep up with warning politicians and corporates about miss treating the masses... you have a voice and we all appreciate your commitment. In the name of love may Gods power+love surround and follow you guys always :)

more POP in the shows
First of all let me tell you that the concert in Rome on the 8th of october 2010 was absolutely awesome, I'll keep that night in my heart forever. If somebody asks me what I miss most in this tour, I have to answer some of the great songs in the POP album. I'd really like to listen to Please, Last night on earth, Mofo, Gone, Staring at the sun, Discotheque, once again in the next shows of 2011. oh...and yes, Acrobat should have been in your set lists since 1989. Thank you.

Sometimes You Can't Make It ... - God Pa
Dear U2. I'd love to hear any song to dedicate to my parents died in a car accident. Please. Please. Please. My mother's favorite song was but I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for but above Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own; My father's favorite songs was Surrender or Tryn'to Thrro Your Arms Around The World, Kite, God Part 2. Thanks U2. I hope to do me a nice gift! Giuseppe. Info: peple75@hotmail.it

One song only...
I would like to hear Staring At The Sun this time out for so many reasons...a great summer song, especially for Miami (hint, hint)...also I really like to see and hear Edge and Bono sing together.
