"Achtung Baby" -- "UltraViolet (Light My Way)" and "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"

"The Joshua Tree" -- "Running to Stand Still" and "Trip Through
Your Wires"

"Rattle & Hum" -- "All I Want is You" and "Angel of Harlem"

"October" -- "I Fall Down" and "Tomorrow"

"Boy" -- "Out of Control" and "Stories for Boys"

"War" -- "Seconds" and "The Refugee"

"All That You Can't Leave Behind" -- "In a Little While" and "Wild Honey"

"The Unforgettable Fire" -- "Bad" and "A Sort of Homecoming"
