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 like to hear ACROBAT, it is one of the best U2 songs and they could really make us happy and finally play that song live. Also Unforgettable fire, In God¨s Country, Please, Bad, When I look at the world and Mofo would be great to here this summer.

Unforgettable Fire;A sort of home coming would be great songs to dust off and play in the upcoming sets for the tour

well, so many to name, but there is one that i'd love to hear live on the 14th of august at wembley stadium: Ultra violet would be the tune that could make this night even more perfect than it will be, I'm sure!

Please keep Electric Co it worked so well on the last tour, and Mofo is long overdue a return, that song could be for this tour what Zoo Station was on the last. And of course above all: Bad.

All becasue of you, I fall down...... AAH stop me

so we need to hear "Spanish Eyes", "Exit", "silver N Gold", "Until the End of the World", "11 O'Clock", "All because of you", "Bullet", "Tommorrow", "God Part II", "Surrender", "Indian Summer Sky", "Sunday"!!! That would do it for me!!!!

I honestly don't need to hear "I Will Follow," "New Year's Day, "Sunday Bloody Sunday," or "Mysterious Ways" again on this tour. I would love to hear ANYTHING off of October, Pop or Zooropa. Or how about "A Sort of Homecoming?!?"

I needed to add "Stay" to my requests. My wife and I both love this song and I'm taking her with me to her first U2 gig when you come to the Twin Cities, MN... whenever that will be.

"NUMB" has my vote! I've never witnessed it performed live (aside from the Zoo TV video). Edge, will you PLEEESE do this one?? Some otherlive raritiesI'm dying to see are: "Kite", "Exit", "Please", and "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me". Also, I really enjoyed the songs from Boy that were played on the Vertigo tour, so don't lose out on those gems either. Thanks, guys!

It will be a Hot August Night, Cant wait, Please Please Please Please Play Bad, it is an all time classic that has lasted time, and in these tough times we all face, wefeel isolation, desolation, but we are wide awake and i for one am not sleeping. ( if Adam fancies a wee rest i can take the healm for him for 5 mins). Bona Adam Larry and Edge will always get a homecoming in Glasgow, Love and peace.

Just one song? I know this is a complete and utter pipe dream, but I'd love to hear Acrobat. A more realistic selection: Zoo Station.
