Rarities Setlist

[cobl04]

If you could create an entire setlist or just an encore (four or five songs) that included songs that have hardly ever been played or only played once or twice what would it be? I'll do mine later, after I investigate which songs are actually rarities!

 

[BANZAI]

I'll make it a small setlist:

1. Zooropa
2. When I Look At The World
3. The Wanderer
4. Drowning Man
5. Ultraviolet
6. Red Hill Mining Town
7. Do You Feel Loved
8. Van Diemen's Land
9. Wire
10. Heartland

11. A Celebration
12. Acrobat

 

[Axver]

5. Ultraviolet
8. Van Diemen's Land
9. Wire
11. A Celebration

I wouldn't call them rarities. Especially not Ultra Violet, which has been played 111 times!

Wire comes in with 79 plays, Van Diemen's Land with 38, and A Celebration with 22.

 

[Axver]

I'm going to define 'rare' as any song with five or less full performances here: http://www.u2-vertigo-tour.com/most-played-songs.html

(I was going to say less than ten, but the original poster said only once or twice, so 0-5 may be a bit generous ...)

1. Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop?)
2. The Dream Is Over
3. When I Look At The World
4. Acrobat
5. Lost On A Silent Planet
6. Sixty Seconds In Kingdom Come
7. Bass Trap
8. Falling At Your Feet
9. North And South Of The River
10. Drowning Man
11. Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)
12. Wild Irish Rose
13. Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk/Korova 1
14. The Wanderer

15. Zooropa
16. Lady With The Spinning Head
17. Where Did It All Go Wrong?
18. Cartoon World
19. The Silver Lining

20. She's A Mystery To Me*
21. Promenade
22. Your Blue Room
23. Slug
24. The Wanderer

*The stats for this one are a bit wrong. A large number of ZooTV performances are counted as full songs when they should only be snippets. I'm progressively working to fix this and once it's fully corrected, I expect there will only be about five instances of the song live in full.

Should this number be higher, my pick for the setlist spot is The Three Sunrises.

Electrical Storm, Hands That Built America (Full Version), Heartland, Acrobat

When I Look At The World, Drowning Man, Red Hill Mining Town and Promenade.

I wouldn't call them rarities. Especially not Ultra Violet, which has been played 111 times!

Yeah, but it hasn't really been played since zootv so I'd say that its pretty damn rare.

Red Hill Mining
So Cruel (I think played on 5-6 times)
