After all the complaining I have had about U2.com, this is at least one suggestion they have
listened to us on. A chance to choose tracks to be on a live album!!! I am hopeful the subscribers don't screw this up!
Tracks We Should Vote For:
Electrical Storm
Mothers of The Dissappeared
Breathe
No Line On The Horizon
The Unforgettable Fire
Ultra Violet
Zooropa
and many others...
Tracks NOT TO VOTE FOR:
I'll Go Crazy If This Damn song is on another release tonight!!!!
DO NOT VOTE for CRAZY. It is on Artificial Horizon, Wide Awake In Europe...and right
now it is winning over Electrical Storm...so DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS!!!!!!!!
Also, do NOT vote for Scarlet...or Sting Ray Guitar, both were so short, we need 22 FULL LENGTH SONGS...as muchas I want to vote for Spanish Eyes...it was not a great performance...but still better than I'll Go Crazy If I Don't sound like a weak Pop Outtake Tonight.
Even Better Than the Real Thing
Out of Control
No Line on the Horizon
Magnificent
New Year's Day
The Unforgettable Fire
All i Want is You
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Miss Sarajevo
Bad
Where the Streets Have No Name
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Ultraviolet
I also see everyone gets to pick a FAVORITE...which I will list below with my likely 22 choices for U22.
My choices:
Electrical Storm(FAVORITE CHOICE), Breathe(To Make up for the AWFUL HORRIBLE Rose Bowl Snub) Zooropa, Even Better Than The Real Thing, The Fly, Ultra Violet, Until The End of The World, One, All I Want Is You/Love Rescue Me(One Choice, so must be from that show...uh?), No Line On The Horizon, Magnificent, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, In A Little While, Stuck In A Moment, Stay (Faraway, So Close!), With Or Without You, Your Blue Room, 40,
Angel Of Harlem, Bad, Mothers Of The Disappeared, One Tree Hill
Well those above are my 22, but I'm holding off on voting to give it more thought. I might remove my vote for One..but I really hope the more obscure songs get a chance. The versions of Electrical Storm were so epic, I'd hate to have that lose out to Crazy Tonight...or even Walk On, or even With Or Without You, which probably will have the casual fan vote, so maybe I'll just vote the least likely to win songs, so I have a chance of helping them make it....
Possible Substitutions: Beautiful Day, I Still Haven't, I Will Follow, Out of Control, Party Girl, Streets(On so many other releases), Spanish Eyes(Love the song, but they didn't really play it that well, and Too Short), Boots(Great Song, but got tired of it quickly.) Desire, Miss Sarajevo, Moment of Surrender(not a great show closer, and already on WIDE AWAKE Europe)
Not Likely: Unknown Caller(hate the chorus, love the guitar), Mysterious Ways(on many of the DVDs, getting sick of it), Vertigo, City Blinding Lights
NO EFFIN WAY: I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Remix This Song To Sound like a Pop Reject Tonight.....(Be Serious, this thing has been on Cd Singles, other Fan Club Collections, and WIDE EUROPE) Scarlet(Too Short), Stingray Guitar(Too Short), Walk On(Love the song, but the versions on the two ATYCLB Dvds are where this song lives live.)
Genaro, I would have bought you a membership to let you vote, but I lost my job today. It is a sad day for me, but having a choice in a Fan Club release is
something I have wanted for a very long time. In what should be a sad depressing day for me, has been made happier by my favorite band. It may sound like a crazy idea, but if you buy a membership, and get the CD, you would have no problem selling it to another U2start.com member who may have forgot to renew, and probably make a little profit, as long as you don't get greedy and try to sell it on ebay. Just a thought....
My top 5 from the tour would be:
Even Better Than The Real Thing
Ultraviolet
Zooropa
Magnificent
Bad (some amazing performances of this on the tour imo)
Of course, Genaro, I would suggest copying the thing first. I know I am suggesting you do something not all that ethical to the U2.com fan club, but
times are hard, and I'd sell mine, except that I'm such a die hard fan, someone would have to take it out of my Dead Hands!
hmm, im thinking about actually getting it just for this in a few weeks when i get my paycheck <3 hopefully this doesn't disappoint! i have a good feeling about this release
Ok so heres the options, and what i voted. It was a lot harder then i thought it would be.

I am hoping that the moderators let this thread exist for several reasons:
1. The "Your Perfect Setlist" thread was about choosing whatever songs you could choose, not choosing from 46 pre-selected songs from U2.com
2. The above mentioned thread has over 225 posts, and started ages before the U22 fanclub release idea even existed.
3. All of My Threads seem to get the ire of the moderators. Hey, I'm just a fan, not a journalists, not an expert about which threads have already been written.
4. Like I said, this post is relevant to the actual Fan Club Release, not just some fantasy of what you want U2 to play at a show..
5: My Edit: I think other people were posting in "Latest U2 News/Sightings," and not in the "Your Perfect Setlist."
I still think that my new topic should stay a thread, as the General Threads are not worthy of perhaps the biggest U2.com story in the last 5 years...This is really big for the die hards, and
after years of complaining, we finally get a bone...Thanks U2.com. I am still VERY VERY pissed at having to buy the Zoo TV DVD again in the Super Deluxe, but this almost makes up for it...great job U2.com (I Can't believe I'm saying this!)
