Even opening and closing with Vertigo lol?

I would take Vertigo over ISHFWILF as a closer any day. Opening with Vertigo and hence playing it twice was a totally different story, though, and it was crap. But I was talking about closing songs exclusively

But I gotta say, seeing the Joshua Tree tour in 2017, it was obvious they were closing with One, but the energy was so high and hungry that U2 made the call to play I Will Follow and it fucking ROCKED THE HOUSE.
I've never seen so many middle aged people jumping like teenagers in one place. It was pandemonium and it was fucking awesome.

YES. I didn't get to experience it but everyone says (and I agree judging from videos) that IWF was fucking incredible as a closer. @germcevoy swears IWF in Amsterdam almost got his faith in the band back!

John Hume, the leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) of Northern Ireland has passed away today.
He was one of the architects of the Northern Ireland peace process, he won the Nobel Prize, the Gandhi Peace Prize and the Martin Luther King Award for that and he is, up to today, the only recipient of the three major peace awards. And well, he also appears in the Please single cover, which is not an award but kind of makes it relevant for this forum
May he rest in the same peace that he achieved for millions.
He appears holding Bono's left arm in this historical photo:
