Which U2 song do you wish was still performed in concert?

[Cute Irish Bono]

An Cat Dubh, Fire, God Part II, Exit, The Playboy Mansion, and is Seconds ever played live before?

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

Also 11 O'clock Tick Tock and HMTMKMKM!!

 

[starsgoblue]

Tommorow or Slow Dancing.

They played Slow Dancing at the second Providence show last tour--I was at the first.

 

[Ellay]

Ultraviolet

 

[LMP]

Ultraviolet was one of my favorite songs performed from Zoo TV, especially the MacPhisto segue into it when they were in Europe

shame it was bumped off the list after Zooropa was released

also HMTMKMKM needs 2 b brot bac big time, awesome song, only played during PopMart, shame

if you go 2 U2faqs.com, i think they tell ya which songs were performed live.

 

[LMP]

IMO, they rele need to stop playin Bullet, I think there are a least a few dozen of their songs better than that 1 that haven't been played live in a while or ever

 

[sundown]

In Gods Country
A Sort of Homecoming (with rea effort and passion put in, one of U2's best songs)

 

[SkeeK]

There's absolutely tons, but overall winner: Running to Stand Still

 

[SkeeK]

but it's a very close call with Please

 

[PowerSurge]

"Please", the full electric version. Not that I didn't like the acoustic one, too, but the POPMart version was wonderful.

I'll third or fourth or whatever that....Best song to not be performed after its initial inception in a setlist....EVER!



Soon we'll add Elevation to that list, because I can't fathom them playing it anything other than 1st in a setlist....if they do it wouldn't be the same.

 

[Kharon]

One Tree Hill, Hawkmoon 269, and Zoo Station.

Red Hill Mining Town wasn't played live because the song is too high, vocally, for Bono to have performed it night in and out.

 

[Sharik]

IMO, they rele need to stop playin Bullet, I think there are a least a few dozen of their songs better than that 1 that haven't been played live in a while or ever

Yes, they don't always have to play both Bullet and New Year's Day. If they are so eager to perform out-sized socially conscious rock songs, then write a NEW ONE.

Now, One Tree Hill simply begs to be played again. How about Tomorrow, as well?

 

[adamgirl]

Love is Blindness - Hauntingly beautiful
Running to Stand Still - In my all time top three
11 O'Clock Tic Toc - I have a recording of the New York Club Concert at Irving Plaza before the Elevation tour and blast this all the time - Fantastic!!!
and finally.... Party Girl - it's just a fun song.

 

[Ifeelnumb84]

Ultraviolet
An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart

and question...has The Refugee ever been played live?

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Running To Stand Still

Love Is Blindness would be nice, too

 

[If you shout...]

I've got a few, but my number one is, in fact, my number one. Here we go, then:

1) "An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart"
2) "MOFO"
3) "I Threw A Brick Through a Window"
4) "Love is Blindness"
5) "Surrender"

 

[Nostradamus]

Yes, they don't always have to play both Bullet and New Year's Day. If they are so eager to perform out-sized socially conscious rock songs, then write a NEW ONE.

Does Love and Peace or Else fit this bill?.. Stick a Bullet-like Solo in it and maybe you've got it.

 

[versus]

It would be great if U2 did the same thing as R.E.M. did on their laast tour, Fans could go to their website and make requests for each concert...

My set list would be something like: NOT IN ORDER:

Vertigo
Miracle Drug
Red Hill Mining Town
Out Of Control
Sometimes You Cant Make It On Your Own
One Tree Hill
City Of Blinding Lights
One/?Unchanied Melody
With Or Without you
Where the Streets...
Love And Peace Or else
Until the End of the World
Original Of Species
Yahweh
All Because of you
Last Night On Earth
Staring At The Sun
Pride
New Years Day
I Will Follow
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Beautiful Day
The Unforgettable Fire
Bad (Ruby Tuesday version)
Stay (faraway so close)
In Gods Country
Running too stand still

Okay, maybe it would get too long if i kept going...

 

[Knulp]

One Tree Hill

I know this didn't get performed often ever, but I'd sure
love to see it

 

[Wildhit]

Exit...

...the way they do it in the Rattle and Hum movie would be sweet

 

[MrU2Macphisto]

Surrender

 

[jammin909]

ultraviolet

 

[ultrraviolette]

I'd love to hear Acrobat live!

 

[Epic squash]

I'd love to see 'Zooropa' performed live on the new tour. And 'So Cruel', and I know this is probably just me but 'Is That All?' if only to see Larry do the drums.

 

[TheBonofactor]

Please - full band version .................................

Without POP there would be no Please.............. (or Gone), both amazing live performances, just a a liitle tidbit for the POP bashers out there.

 

[tennispunk]

oh so many....

Trip Through Your Wires
Zooropa
Seconds (b/c Edge sings that and it kicks the ass of Numb)
Wild Honey
Running To Stand Still
The Refugee
and I'm so glad they started playing Out of Control again on the Elevation Tour.

....how about songs they need to drop?
I'll start: New York. great city (my hometown!) but weak song.

 

[Eric G]

WIRE!!!!! PLAY IT, DAMN IT! PLAY IT! This song would absolutely rock live. Every time I listen to Unforgettable Fire it just aggrivates the hell out of me that this doesn't get played live.

 

[Aardvark747]

The Ocean

 

[Aardvark747]

Ok...I wasnt being totally serious with that one! But hey, it would be good tho!

 

[liamcool]

Pete The Chop!

I kid you not. That song was awesome live.

And when I think of the early U2 demos, a tear fills my eye when I think of what could have been on Boy....ah, False Prophet...
