ONE love, blood, life
I've made live compilation playlists for each decade, but I've designed(or attempted to, anyway) each playlist to resemble an actual live set, in structure and flow. I was trying to make playlists that would simulate, to an extent, actual shows. Whether or not I've succeeded at that remains to be seen, but I like what I've come up with.
The 80s list is considerably longer than the other two, because there was that much more material to select from in that decade than there was in either of the other two; while the 90s and 00s lists hover around two and a half hours each, the 80s list scrapes against three hours. That may be a bit too long, but this is fantasy anyway, I'm not suggesting in any way that U2 should actually play shows this long. This is just something I wanted to do for fun. I've posted this here because this thread is about live performances, after all, and there's more activity in here than there is in EYKIW at the moment.
The performances I've used aren't all that varied - I've used a handful of official releases extensively - but I've sourced every single track anyway. Anyway, here goes nothing:
