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 ?

Wake Up Dead Man, Love Rescue Me, Numb, Lady With the Spinning Head, Window in the Skies and Kite!!!!!! All GREAT songs...maybe you guys should have two separate tours, one to play thenew songs, and one just to play all the old ones. I'd go to both.

I'd love to hear The Refugee - hearing Larry do that drum line live would be unbelievable! Other requests? A Man & A Woman, 2 Hearts Beat As One, God Part 2.

Okay - I had to pick two...I would love to hear God Part II - that is a great song, and Van Diemen's Land...c'mon Edge, give Bono a break for one song and sing Van Diemen's Land! I think that would be my first choice for an add! Yeah!

'Please', from the Pop Album. Quoted by Bono as possibly his favourite U2 song. I'm not sure it topples 'Streets' or 'Pride', but a great song none-the-less. Bad would also be great

The grand prize in the setlist: THE UNFORGETABLE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unheard of forsome 20 years now, time to hear it from an improved U2!

"Please" or "Acrobat", although "MOFO" would work fantastic underneath this monsterstage
