It's Less Than A Month

5 Jun 2009339
Last time out they floored everyone when they brought back tracks like Electric Co and An Cat Dubh from Boy - and they sounded good as new. Did it get you thinking about other tracks from the back-catalogue you'd love to see in the set?

With less than a month to go until opening night, there's lots of chat online about set lists. So let's say you had the chance to put one song into the show. An overlooked classic from the eighties? An underrated gem from the nineties? Something from Boy, or something from 'Bomb'.

Name that tune.... and tell us why ?

I'm going to both shows in Boston and to hear 'A Sort of Homecoming' would be my wish. It's one of those songs that just reminds me of a specific time and place when i was a teenager and everytime i hear it i get this vision of what it was like then and remember some really good times i had growing up. MOFO would kick ass too!

it's going to kick ass anyway (or as we say in Dublin kick arse) ......I would love Mysterious Ways, played last time on the Saturday and sends the place off on one (party night). Cannot leave Bullet out, maybe "In a little while" and Brick with some new sound

Until the end of the world is always epic live. Acrobat or Red Hill Mining Town would be brilliant surprises.

Ultraviolet, A Sort of Homecoming, The Unforgettable Fire, Heartland, or Hawkmoon 269 would be absolutely incredible....I think Ultraviolet ZooTV Washington is one of U2's finest moments!

Ultraviolet and Two Hearts Beat As One NEED to be on the setlist. They would fit amazingly with the new material!
