Someone was going to make a thread about this sooner or later.
Mothers Of The Disappeared was played today for the first time in just over eight years, appropriately in the same place it was last played on 11 February 1998: Santiago, Chile. This is only the twelfth ever performance of the song, following seven JT Tour and 4 Popmart performances. This particular performace was done solely by Bono and Edge, with Edge playing a traditional South American instrument called a charango (if you look it up on Wikipedia, you'll see it looks like a small guitar or ukulele).
The full set:
1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. Vertigo / She Loves You (snippet)
3. Elevation
4. Until The End Of The World
5. New Year's Day
6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
7. Beautiful Day
8. The First Time
9. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
10. Love And Peace Or Else
11. Sunday Bloody Sunday
12. Bullet The Blue Sky / When Johnny Comes Marching Home (snippet) / The Hands That Built America (snippet)
13. Miss Sarajevo
14. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
15. Where The Streets Have No Name
16. One
encore(s):
17. Zoo Station
18. The Fly / (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (snippet)
19. Mysterious Ways
20. With Or Without You
21. Mothers Of The Disappeared
22. Yahweh
23. All I Want Is You

So, the question is: will it also appear in Buenos Aires (I'm sure the answer to that is yes), and will it be the charango version, or will Edge just use an acoustic guitar, or will it be a full band version?
I must say this gives me hope for One Tree Hill in New Zealand.
And, though it's not really within the realm of possibility, it's also made me think of how much I'd like Van Diemen's Land in Melbourne. For those who don't know, Tasmania, originally known as Van Diemen's Land, is located just across Bass Strait from Melbourne. If you ask me, VDL would fit in very nicely in the position after Beautiful Day that's been taken lately by The First Time and Stuck In A Moment, or in Yahweh's position.
