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 ?

God Part 2, Hawkmoon 269, Acrobat I come to this site all of the time, but just signed up for a membership so I couldpostan answer tothis question. Those are three of U2's best songs and they never get played! This is a great topic and I could talk about it all day. I saw someone else wrote 'if god would send his angles'- good choice! That is a great song, which U2 should redo and put on another album. It never gets any attention because it is on pop, but it is a great song! Great topic! I could talk about this all day!

I know you only said we could pick one but there's a few I need to stick up for: Wire, Indian Summer Sky, Acrobat, Last Night on Earth, Mofo, Tryin' to Throw Your Arms..., God Part II, and New York, Sorry its such an exhausting list but U2's lesser known songs are completely brilliant! Can't wait!

...the most played U2 song on my iPod, "A Sort of Homecoming". I would just go crazy to hear that live!

I think "Starring at the Sun" would make my night complete...!! But also "Whose gonna ride your Wild horses" would be fantastic. I have heart it in Dublin in 2005... hearing The Edge play the gitar-riddle in the stadium while we were still in the cue outsite was  amazing!!!

So I'm torn. Bad is an absolute, unadulterated u2 classic . Hawkmoon 269 is one of my person favorites, powerful and compelling. I think both songs would fit in thematically with music from NLOTH because both songs have the elements of longing, love , passion and brokeness.

'The Unforgettable Fire'and '40': Larry is great at playing them, I love them and that could be a good idea to be in the set lists.
