Top 10 Songs U2 Should Play Live Again
As fans, we spend a lot of time debating a) which songs U2 should stop playing, and b) which songs they should play live for the first time. I’ve listened recently to a couple old concerts that I haven’t listened to in ages, and heard a whole bunch of songs I’d love to hear again.
So, with that in mind, here’s my list of the Top 10 Songs U2 Should Play Live Again. Any song is eligible, except for songs they played during the Vertigo Tour. (So, “One Tree Hill” is disqualified because it was played a couple times in New Zealand. And “Kite” is out because it was played late in ‘06, too.)
1.) Please
2.) Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
3.) The Unforgettable Fire
4.) Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around the World
5.) A Sort of Homecoming
6.) October
7.) Ultraviolet
8.) In God’s Country
9.) Gone
10.) Exit
What would be on YOUR list?

If they played Unforgettable Fire, , Ultraviolet, then Exit as their main setlist, and then encored with Love Rescue Me, I’d be happy. Aside from Love Rescue Me, it’s encouraging to see the other three show up on so many other top tens. The band really needs to take a look at this list. (IMHO)
1. Ultraviolet
2. Please
3. When I Look At The World (this was played live, I think in Miami during the Elevation tour, right after Bad)
4. 11 O’Clock Tick Tock
5. Another Day
6. Trevor (Touch)
