Dream setlist?

Tagged:

All REM fans have a dream setlist for any show and some of us have had them realized. For this show, what is your dream setlist? Figure maybe 9 new songs, so maybe with an 18 to 22 song set, that means you'll have 9 to 13 songs to choose from.

Minus new songs, here is mine:

Lotus
Begin the Begin
The Lifting
Disturbance at the Heron House
Monty Got a Raw Deal
Driver 8
Pilgrimage
Beat a Drum
Carnival of Sorts (Boxcars)
Flowers of Guatemala
Camera
Sweetness Follows
West of Fields
Country Feedback
I Remember California

What's yours? Login and post it in a comment.

In no particular order (other than the first one, which is my all-time favourite song):

You Are The Everything
Near Wild Heaven
Disturbance at the Heron House
King of Birds

I want to hear all the new stuff but apart from that:

I have only one request...

Nightswimming.

Because it's my favourite song and the guys have never played it in Dublin (it's true - I've checked!).

Let's hear it for Nightswimming.

Edit: I wonder if any of the band will be reading this...

OK, it's a bit long, but I'm horrible at choosing favorites, so I'm surprised it's only 18 songs and not 30.

Coming from Tucson, Arizona (hence the creative username) for Sun-Wed shows (sandwiched in the middle of a vacation) - really looking forward to the 60 degree weather!! (seriously, it's like 108 at my house today)

12.Walk Unafraid
13.The Great Beyond
14.She Just Wants To Be
