After a few minutes of counting this is the result: 41 songs (no covers or snippets included)

So what about you guys?
 
26 songs
16 snippets

1 cover

quite a few snippets missing from the database.

Well, why don't you point them out instead of just saying that? I've listened to literally thousands of hours of bootlegs, but I can't catch every snippet. Please, be constructive. Plenty of people on Interference in the past have pointed out snippets they've spotted, and I'm immensely grateful for that, as U2VT is only run by myself and one other guy. There's only so much we can do.
 
I'm glad that everybody else has liked the song count tool. :) Honestly, it's probably my favourite feature on U2VT, and when we redesign the site for the next tour, I'd like to make it more prominent.

Of course, a setlist database is never going to be complete. It's bloody hard to listen to every bootleg you can find and keep yourself focused to catch the snippets. Even when you do catch them, it's a matter of figuring out what it is. Bono's not the best enunciator. But I've certainly tried my hardest to make it as complete as possible, and I'd again like to say I'm very grateful to everybody here who has helped to make the site more complete.
 
Axver, that counting tool is great.

89 songs for me, but, I'm forgetting some shows I attended.....still, not a bad total. :)

Oh, 83 snippets.

And, Bullet, Pride and Streets have been played at every show I've seen. I saw them once on the JT tour, or, One would have been played at all my shows, too. :)

You've done a great job, that site is really cool...
