I stuck with songs they havent done live before or havent done live much or recently. I will add that my Boy choice prior to Vertigo would have been Electric Co hands down. But I got to see/hear it done quite a bit. So something else would be cool. :shrug:

Sticking to songs not played on the Vertigo Tour (or rarely played in HTDAAB's case), and only including "[album name] era" if I can think of something I'd like to hear that's not on the album:

Early Demos: Lost On A Silent Planet
Boy: Twilight (and The Electric Co. at every concert)
Boy era: 11 O'clock Tick Tock
October: Tomorrow
War: Like A Song ...
War era: Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop?)
The Unforgettable Fire: The Unforgettable Fire
The Unforgettable Fire era: Bass Trap
The Joshua Tree: One Tree Hill
The Joshua Tree era: Spanish Eyes
Rattle And Hum: Heartland
Rattle And Hum era: Wild Irish Rose
Achtung Baby: Acrobat
Achtung Baby era: Where Did It All Go Wrong?
Zooropa: Zooropa
Passengers: Slug
Passengers era: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Pop: Gone
Pop era: North And South Of The River
All That You Can't Leave Behind: When I Look At The World
ATYCLB era: Electrical Storm (debatable as hell, I know, but I already had something for HTDAAB era and nothing from the genuine ATYCLB era strikes me as much as Electrical Storm)
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb: Crumbs From Your Table
HTDAAB era: Smile

Can't say I'd mind hearing Edge play Rowena's Theme either.

:drool:

Frankly, I don't understand the fuss over Mercy, because Smile is a far superior song, in my opinion. It would be gorgeous live, though I'm not sure Bono could routinely nail the falsetto bit in the middle.

I totally agree. I've loved Smile ever since I first heard it and I don't see why it failed to make HTDAAB. It's beautiful, and its lyrical vagueness just adds to its intriguing value.

When COBL was being played in the middle of the main set, I think Smile would have sounded great before or after it.

Same with the two hour "Freeeee!" in Native Son (or whatever he's singing.

It is really a shame that they don't play their b-sides as often as they used to...that would be awesome...

Besides the fact both of those songs are covers, Whiskey In The Jar wasn't done until ZooTV.

True - they were covers but they both sounded great. I was at a show right after a construction accident happened in a city near Hartford, CT and they played Springhill - it was so emotional.
As for Whiskey - my bad on the Era that was played :huh:
