As Far As You Know

Okay, folks, still pretty wired as I write this in the wee hours of the morning in spite of a two-hour drive from Boston. Just got in from the U2 show, you see, and it was terrific, fantastic, wonderful, inspiring, and the like. The band adjusted their setlist to include a handful of my favorite songs; they must have had a hunch I was there!

This was my fifth concert with the boys from Dublin and on the way home I was trying to piece together in my head the songs I had heard in previous shows. Thanks to the Internet (and a site called U2tours.com), the following is everything I've seen U2 perform in person. (This is probably more to document my nostalgia than to inform any reader who stumbles onto this blog, but here goes:)
