We go to the sixth CD prediction list with the last U2 Album from the 1980's Rattle and Hum.
Van Diemen's Land - 35% - I Know Van Diemen's Land is a solo done by Edge. And I like the idea of it, but since it's disappearance in July of 1993 on a full tour, and yes. Edge and Bono did an acoustic version of this song in 2008. It just doesn't have any flavor, and with 30 years of Rattle and Hum coming up. I think the band could go back for some Rattle and Hum classics, and this one might be a casual gem. But I don't see it happening.
Desire - 100% - Desire, the workhorse of Rattle and Hum, has been on almost every single tour except for the 2017 Joshua Tree Tour. Whether it was played acoustic or electric and full band. Desire got the crowd to a frenzy. And it's also been a part of Three opening tours. Lovetown, ZOOTV and Innocence and Experience. I think Desire will have a chance to be in this tour. I'd prefer the rocking version of this song.
Hawkmoon 269 - 20% - This song has made some few appearances in the Lovetown Tour, and of course it's last ever performance was in December of 1989. But it was snippeted in the Elevation Tour in July of 2001, but didn't show signs of being there. So Hawkmoon will not be back at any time.
Angel of Harlem - 90% - This is a favorite classic from Rattle and Hum. It's been a part of some opening tours as well. Lovetown. ZOOTV. Elevation and 360. It missed the Popmart Tour, and thought it was going to miss the Vertigo Tour, but the band resurrected it in October of 2005 with a guest, and in the last leg of the Vertigo Tour. The band played it in full. Innocence and Experience, it was played in Studio Style, and they also brought some fans to play it on acoustic guitar, But it didn't make it to the 2017 Joshua Tree Tour either. But I'm giving this a 90% because Angel of Harlem deserves another tour push.
Love Rescue Me - 30% - Another great gem from Rattle and Hum and that is Love Rescue Me. What can you say about this song. It closed out some sets in the Lovetown Tour and was a part of the BB King Orchestra. And sadly, it disappeared off the ZOOTV Tour. Popmart Tour. Elevation Tour and Vertigo Tour, until it's return in December of 2010. And this could've made a return to Innocence and Experience, but didn't happen. So I don't think we will see it here on this tour.
When Love Comes To Town - 40% - When Love Comes To Town, another old school favorite, when you think of this song, think of BB King helping the band out. It made a few appearances since it's first performance of the Joshua Tree Tour in November of 1987, and in the encore on the Lovetown Tour throughout 1989 through 1990. And done in Acoustic Style on ZOOTV. In May of 2015, on the first night of U2's tour. BB King passed away, on the next night of the second show. The band dedicated When Love Comes To Town in his memory, the band did not play this since August 28. 1993 although Bono and Edge were with BB King in 2008 playing this song. It was played 4 times until it slowly stopped appearing, but Bono and Edge would play it again in December, and also Bono would do a solo performance of this song in the 2015 Christmas Traditional Busking. For the band doing this song, I think it might be possible to do it. Why not. But we'll just have to wait and see.
Heartland - 15% - Another song I'd destined to see in this tour, it was snippeted a few times in Lovetown during Where The Streets Have No Name, but never made a full appearance, with this being the 30-year anniversary of Rattle and Hum soon. Band could look outside the box and play this song, whether it be in an Acoustic Arrangement, But I think we might have to wait a little bit.
God Part II - 30% - Great song, Bono's lyrics were spot on back in the day and it was the start of the Achtung Baby madness that would eventually bring the band for the future. It's last performance was January 9, 1990. Although it returned for a snippet during With or Without You in the ZOOTV Tour. But with that voice failing Bono in Amsterdam, God Part II never fully recovered from it, although it opened up two shows. But the song never fully recovered after Bono got injured in Amsterdam. But I doubt we will see God Part II again.
All I Want Is You - 95%. - There is no doubt that All I Want Is You is definitely With or Without You Part II. And it's proved it's name for itself. It made a couple of appearances and had never missed a single tour until the 2017 Joshua Tree Tour. But with this tour, All I Want Is You should be there. And it will, you can count on that. Because there wouldn't be no Rattle and Hum without All I Want Is You, Desire and Angel of Harlem at the same time.
Heartland is supposedly on the wish list of Adam. And thematically it might fit the e+i concept...
I say if they can make RHMT work, they could make Heartland work just as well!
And if the e+i indeed travels all the way to New Zealand and Australia, I think we can expect some LoveTown memories
Last but not least, I think God Part II would do great as an intermission
