The white flag?
namkcuR said:
Oh, goodness, you've got me there. Most of the stuff I can think of is particular to one single tour - War's white flag, Popmart's lemon, Elevation's heart, etc. It can't be a b-stage, as while there was one at the last couple of JT shows (I believe) and again on ZooTV and Popmart, that's broken by Lovetown.
Hmm, how about that mirror/disco-ball that I've seen used during performances of The Unforgettable Fire on JT Tour DVDs? I can only assume that was held over for the Lovetown performances of UF and it might've been around on the UF Tour (the only two videos I actually have of UF live on its own tour are poor audience-shot footage that I haven't seen in ages and don't remember if there was the mirrorball or not). Or maybe you mean heading in the other direction from JT/Lovetown - wasn't there a mirrorball for Mirrorball Man in the ZooTV encore, for songs like WOWY?
I'm not conceding this one just yet - even if that guess is wrong, I'll see what else I can think of!

If Zoomerang is a tour, then so is New Zooland & ZooTV Japan. They are all listed seperatly in the ZooTV program.

Apparently were made of each others materials etc.

Didn't they on UF?
Seriously though, I think a case is made for New Zooland and ZooTV Japan being referenced as seperate tours.

Or maybe Willie Williams

On UF and Lovetown, New Zealand had its own leg of a tour, and on ZooTV, it was part of the Zoomerang leg that encompassed Australia, NZ, and Japan. But if people are going to say the Zooropa leg of ZooTV was actually a separate tour, then let's go nuts and say Zoomerang was a separate tour too, but only applied to Australia, and the New Zooland tour is separate again.
On a serious note, I don't think much of a case can be made for the 'Zooropa' fourth leg of ZooTV being a separate tour, as at the start of the tour the setlist and stage were exactly the same. And that ZooTV logo most certainly still said ZooTV, not Zooropa. A slightly better case can be made that the 'Zoomerang' fifth leg was a different tour due to the slightly revised setlist, but it's still not a good case in my eyes.

Timothius got it. The Popmart Arch became the Elevation Heart, which then became the Vertigo Ellipse.

This isn't exhaustive:
- 1987-12-12 is the first time Larry did lead vocals - Tequila Sunrise.
- Lovetown Tour: starting on 1989-10-09, Edge frequently did Van Diemen's Land. This was also done rarely on ZooTV and I can only assume Edge did it then too (never heard a Zoo VDL boot).
- Larry did 'Irish drinking songs' at many ZooTV shows.
- Every Popmart Tour show, Edge led a karaoke segment for the first and second legs, and sung Sunday Bloody Sunday at one second leg show and all third and fourth leg shows.

I know of no evidence it was ever rehearsed, but Bono does say a line of it during a speech in Bad in 1987, he directly says "the spiral staircase to the higher ground" when talking about drug addicts (he's saying how they're left lying on the streets, under the stairs, etc).

Both of those are tough because it depends on what you count as a song. Does Unchained Melody on ZooTV count as a separate song? Should An Cat Dubh and Into The Heart be separated? And so on ...
I'd say the longest is 27 June 2005, Croke Park, but I'm open to the possibility some earlier show (probably ZooTV fourth leg or Popmart second leg) is longer. Shortest would be the aborted 18 December 1989, Amsterdam concert, most likely.

Excluding Pacific Island nations, which country ranks the highest on the latest IRB rankings without having held a U2 concert.
Try it without guessing.
If you need help I will post the entire list up to that country.

Did mostly Edge sing a song on the WAR tour?
I have a video of B&E switching places - I believe the song was Seconds.
