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 would love to hear "If god will send his angels" played on the tour. That is a beautiful song on a forgotten album.

I think it would be great if U2 play this songs: The Wanderer, Ultraviolet, The Unforgettable fire, So Cruel, Last Night on earth, Silver and Gold and many others... They are great songs. I watched few minutes ago on internet "The Wanderer" during U2's performace on the Tribute to Johnny Cash. What a song!

One Tree Hill in Phoenix - Our Son was killed while riding his motorcycle back from work recently. We based his memorial service and slide show of his life on this song, and later found out why this song was written! It has been very comforting to our family and relieved much grief. Love can heal, it runs like a river, play what you want U-2 is the "Real Thing".
