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.)

Past can never be forgotten, is be remembered forever, and this song is perfect. Transmits an indescribable energy.

'SWEETEST THING' PLEASE!
I've been to 34 U2 concerts and every show is unique! When they come to Anaheim, CA in June it will be my 10th show I've seen on the 360 tour! In all those concerts I've never seen U2 sing 'Sweetest Thing'!!! It's a great audience sing-along song and it would be so awesome to see it performed live!

I'd love to hear Electrical Storm here in Brazil on April 9. I hear this song almost every day!
SWEETEST THING
SWEETEST THING, cause says more about music of U2 then I´ll go crazy tonight (remix), for example. I saw a video of U2 playing sweetes thing, at elevation tour, its amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00pHh0_V76Q . U2, cut the DJ´s, continue to playing your beuatiful songs. Ps: Another music for the open of the show could be much better then Return of Stingray Guitar. Thank´s, see you in BRAZIL!

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
This is by far one of the most beautiful songs ever written! I don't know why nobody ever remember this one! But it's perfect! It would be amazing if they decided to play this one on stage!! :)

FEZ-BEING BORN
I would love to hear "Fez-Being Born", because it is one of the most experimental, daring and thrilling pieces I have ever heard. With subtle Arabian influences woven into the music, "Fez-Being Born" connects big energy with a very special atmosphere. Listening to it, I am always amazed by its restlessness and mesmerizing rhythm. With lyrics evoking strong images, this piece really takes me to different places. I am absolutely sure that this song would belong to the most unforgettable highlights of every U2 concert!

So Cruel or Acrobat
These songs are probably the ones the real fans are waiting for.."So Cruel" was only performed once during the Zoo TV Tour and Acrobat was never played live. I would love to hear one of these!!

POP!!!
hello guys, I think the 360 stage suits perfect for songs from the POP album, just imagine songs like MOFO, or last night on earth with the claw in all its glory!!!! jaja.. I hope to hear some songs from POP now that you´ll come to Mexico... thanks in advance...

Unknown Caller, Until The End of The World, UltraViolet, Unforgettable Fire, and I wouldn't mind hearing All I Want Is You...

So Cruel
As I don't believe is has been played recently and the lyrics are very powerful and some what untypical for U2

Drowning Man
Would love it if the boys played this song!!! Acrobat would also be very cool to hear!!!

Acrobat & The Fly
One song only - are you kidding? :) That's to hard... At least 2: Acrobat and The Fly Amazing songs - it would be great to hear them live...

Window In The Skies
Probably the greatest U2 song from the last decade never got the attention it deserves. Full of highly positive - even almost extatic - emotion, with sense of humour and romantic intimacy, this song is all that U2 are about. It's a flat-out high point in the set list.

Electrical Storm

BREATHE, Please
...it's such an amazing song and to see it gone from the 2010 set was quite sad to see...so please, please pretty please bring it back for 2011!

Numb
This song captures how we are numbing our own living experiences, conforming to expectations around us to just keep in line. It reminds me to revolt against living a numb(ing) life, throw the rule book out the window every once in a while and LIVE. That's why it is one of my favourites... Checking you guys in Cape Town! :)

ULTRAVIOLET and STAY FARAWAY SO CLOSE
ULTRAVIOLET can not miss in the band's set list on this new leg of the 360 tour. It would be wonderful to hear STAY FARAWAY SO CLOSE, WHO'S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES and SOMETIMES YOU CAN NOT MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN.
