If you could pick one song to hear live off of each album on the IE tour, which would you choose? Keep in mind, we're talking about U2 performing these songs with 2015 Bono's voice. Get creative, too! Don't pick "One" off of Achtung Baby. Give yourself a little more credit than that. Take into consideration what they already play, and pick a song that you would truly like to see spice up a setlist!
