I know it's probably too early to talk about this, seems as the next album hasn't even been realeased yet, but as I became a U2 fan around 1999/2000 I missed the whole Zootv and Popmart era, which to me looks absolutly crazy, one I would have loved to have been apart of. For the next tour I would really like to see Mr Macphisto or one of the other two alter-egos make a re-appearance on stage. Although the band have moved on from this era, it would be great for them to step back in time, particularly to satisfy their younger/latest fans.
So, what would you all like to see in the next tour? e.g. Songs that have been left out of the latest tours, on stage collaborations etc?
i also missed ZOO TV and POPMart =( I want a HUGE grandmadness of a tour Stadiums in the US where i'm at i want Zoo Station, The Fly, and Miss Sarajevo, Streets, City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, Love And Peace Or Else on the setlist... i loved the Vertigo tour
One Tree Hill, Kite, Smile, Mercy, Bad, Pride and give SBS a break. Further on, I'd like to see One Tree Hill played, followed by MLK and Streets before 40 makes an end to the concert.

Indeed it would be very ccol if they brought back some Zoo TV/Popmart stuff but the best thing would've been if they did someting really chocking, like the Lovetown/Zoo TV transformation. I know it is VERY, VERY unlikely as U2 today is more succesful than ever (the situation after Rattle and Hum was totally different). But I miss the madness, the energy and the unpredictable part of Zoo TV, I want something chocking and new. They can choose to play it safe (another HTDAAB album which I honestly don't listen to much even though the songs are great live and I love the vertigo bootlegs) or they can do something completely new. They have the money, the fans and, most important, the gift to do so!

These songs should be played more
That's a great setlist
And i'd like to add WTSHNN with All I Want Is You as intro, God Part II, Vertigo and Elevation
