Wondering what are the opinions on the best ‘One Tour Wonders’. That is, songs that have only been played on a single tour. I think truly this didn’t start until TUF, due to the growing selection of songs they could play. I’m certainly not an expert on what has and hasn’t been played and when (fortunately there’s u2gigs.com) so I’ve noted thebelow ‘One Tour Wonders’. Thought of a few rules.
1) The song must have only been played on a single tour with a few exceptions (***) due to the early catalogue selection 2) The song must have been played in full 3) The song need not be an album song (such ast A Celebration, or Things To Make And Do) 4) The song must have been performed on an actual Tour (so sorry, Birdland does not count!) 5) Snippets do not count (such as Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms snippets on 360) 6) If I’ve missed any, feel free to add.
