1. Comments about being lucky enough to hear Mercy live got me thinking about some of the songs that have only been played a dozen times or so and that I was fortunate to hear. My list includes Hawkmoon (only played 9 times according to U2gigs), Dirty Day (13), Lemon (10) and Daddy’s Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car (10). I’ll also throw in the third last performance of Twilight in 1984.

    How about you, which rarities were you there for?
  2. Dirty Day in Berlin. And i got 2 hearts beat as one in Amsterdam 2015. Don't know if that one counts, cause it was played a lot during War and TUF tours. But after 1985 only 4 times

    Wow, Twilight and Hawkmoon are something else

    My rarities would be Mercy in 2010, Landlady in 2018, Spanish Eyes in 2010 and 2018 and Dirty Day in 2018. I'll never regret enough not being able to make it to Barcelona 2 in 2009 and get to hear Electrical Storm.

    @Zwervervriend Two Hearts absolutely counts too

    I forgot Mercy and North Star in Belgium 👍
  5. Stand by Me, Instant Karma, Ordinary Love, Sweetest Thing and Dancing Queen
  6. Got to hear Two Hearts both times I saw them in 1984.
  7. Yeah, i meant to say excluding covers but I’ll give you credit for Ordinary Love and Sweetest Thing.
  8. Dirty Day, Daddy's Gonna Pay, Lemon (1993)
    The Saints are Coming, Kite (2006)
    Love Rescue Me, Scarlet (2010)
    Little Things (2017)
    Stuck In A Moment (2019)
  9. Not sure if Sweetest Thing would qualify as a rarity with a play count of around 50 since 2001
  10. Mine would be Two Hearts Beat As One (2015), The Troubles (2015), All I Want Is You (2015), Volcano (2015), Party Girl (2015), The Little Things That Give You Away (2017).

    Don't know if Party Girl or All I Want Is You would count as they haven't been staples for a long time.
  11. A Sort Of Homecoming (2017) - guess this qualifies as a rarity as it has been played only 10 times in this century?

    BTW, this is my 1st post here so hello to the U2 community!

    I really envy those of you who got to witness that wonder of a song in 2017. I still can't believe they didn't play it in Dublin and I haven't forgiven them for it. Which 2017 show(s) did you see? Only a 2019 appears in your profile.
