Pada tanggal 23 September yang lalu, mas Djundi mengontak saya dan bercerita mengenai rencana “tampilnya” beliau di Rock-n-Roll Exhibition pada acara The Block Rockin’ Beats.
Jika kamu meng-klaim diri sebagai penggemar U2, masih kurang lengkap kalau tidak tau siapa orang yang saya sebut diatas 
Silahkan ketik keyword Djundi Prakasha di weblog ini, dan kenali sedikit profil beliau karena saya tidak akan menjelaskan panjang lebar disini.
Kali ini mbah DP (panggilan di milis) akan sharing U2 playlist-nya yang dapat disimak juga disini. Sebenarnya playlist ini sudah saya terima sejak lama, tapi kurang etis kalau memunculkan duluan, padahal belum di publish oleh pemilik acaranya
Ok, silahkan disimak, mohon maaf, sengaja tidak saya terjemahkan ke bahasa Indonesia karena jadinya kok kurang enak dibaca.

MY U224
by Djundi Prakasha
It was the Live Aid concert 1985 which started my love for this band. It wasn’t the first time that I had heard about U2… but it was this show that made me fall in love with this group from Ireland.
Craziness… that is how some people may describe my love of this band, but this love and craziness which I have is only the start of it. Because of my love of this band I have travelled almost around the world just to see their shows. Up to now I have seen U2 16 times since my first show in Stuttgart in 1993 to my last time in Perth 2010. The last six shows where in my playground – the front row of the concert.
Chicago in 2005, The Vertigo tour was like a blessing to me, a true gift. I am not saying that I am ungrateful for all the other times I have seen them but at this show I got the chance to get my picture taken with Bono. From what I remember, I shouted to him, “Bono, please can I have my picture taken with you. I am your fan from Indonesia and have come to Chicago just to celebrate your birthday.” I hadn’t noticed but Bono was looking at me and said “Really? Sure. Here” Damn, I was speechless after that moment. It was a dream come true after all the years and miles of following them. I am also on the DVD deluxe version of this concert – even if only for a second and you have to press pause to find me but, hey, I was there in U2 DVD history.
Still the Vertigo tour 2006 and I was in Melbourne. I got the chance to shake hands with all of the band and got all their signatures on my U218 deluxe album also I got the chance to have a photo with the founding father of U2, Larry Mullen Jr.
In Perth,December 2010, I think I was the only one who got a setlist from both nights and also got a photograph with the U2 stage manager Rocko Reddy.
If I start talking about my U2 collection it will be a very long story. Instead just come to my U2 bar and let me tell you and show you some of my U2 collection.
My love of U2 doesn’t just stop at collecting and going to shows but also in seeing locations connected to them. I have been to Dublin twice and stayed a night in the Clarence hotel(own by Bono and the Edge). I took photos outside of Bono’s and Larry’s houses. I would like to see more than just the sites in Dublin though, places such as Eze, The Million Dollar Hotel and Sun Studio etc……
Here we are – this is my U2 play list, to all of you who love U2, or doesn’t.
1. Amazing Grace/ Where the Streets Have No Name
The best live version ever, mutliple orgasms every time I hear this song..
U2duals/2010

Left over from the How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb album, played 10 times during the 360 tour in 2010..and the one live version from Brussels is my choice…
Wide awake in Europe/2010
3. I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight (remix version)
Live from Croke Park, Dublin, most U2 fans love this version..
Artificial Horizon/2010
4. Ultraviolet
Always amazed for mostly u2fans.. Hanging mic and laser jacket, that’s the reason why. If I have to choose between this as ‘Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill’ Me – I would definitely choose this one. I choose this Milan version… just because the best live sound so far as I remember..
360° Tour 1st leg: Europe, San Siro, Milan, Italy / 2009

2nd single from No line on the horizon album, got a lot of remix version.. I choose this edit version.. Either the single or heard live this song is always something special..

1x take while recorded.. I love the way Bono talks about God in this song..
How to dismantle an atomic bomb / 2004
7. White As Snow
taken from NLOTH album.. telling a story of an Afghanistani dying soldier..
No Line on the horizon / 2009
8. Walk On (single)
Like an hallelujah, full of spirit or to listen to when you lose your spirit..
All that you can leave behind / 2000
9. Exit
SUPERB!! I love this song! One of the powerful song.. Bono once said, ‘This song is about a religious man who becomes a very dangerous man when he couldn’t work out the mystery in the hands of love’..
The Joshua Tree / 1987
10. Heartland
True Memphis rock and roll, Elvis! I love this video..

The best closing song in a concert EVER…

If 1000 U2 fans had to choose 5 U2 songs, I bet they would choose this song. Bad is one of the best live song ever.. The last time I heard this live was in Melbourne 2006..
The Unforgettable fire/1984
16. Kite
‘I know this is not goodbye’ I remember this song was closing song in Melbourne 2006 and Bono released the kite.. This is going to be my funeral song.
All that you can’t leave behind / 2000
17. Love Is Blindness
Some people thought this song was about the Berlin Wall and others think it is about The Edge and the hard times he had in his marriage and preferring music to his family. The mood created for anyone who listens to this song is one which is dark and sensual…
Achtung Baby/1991
18. Miracle Drug
whether hearing this life or not still always great to hear..
How to dismantle an atomic bomb / 2004

Lookng at Bono down on his knees and it looked like he was crying..

A beautiful song of worship portraying an intimate experience with God…
No Line on the horizon / 2009

One of the best U2′s love song ever written. Lost counting how many “love” in the song, amazed by Larry’s drumming and Gospel choir singing, organ by Bob Dylan.

22. With Or Without You
Who doesn’t know about this song…but my choice is not from album.. I love this “The shine like stars” version..
