I was thinking what my perfect setlist would be based on playing a mainly rarities set but also trying to have some of the narrative(s) that’s U2 have always played with but not being too rigid!
This is what I came up with - there are plenty more favs I’d love to hear but couldn’t find a place for.
I felt it needed to have some of the ‘classics’ in there too...

I've been listening to October a bit more lately and getting into it like I haven't before. My girlfriend also listened for the first time and really enjoyed it, she's just starting to get into U2... so October thoughts explain a bit of this one. Also, the bit of lore at their 1981 Slane show, that the band walked on to Tomorrow over the PA... actually playing it would be one hell of a moody way to open a concert...
