U2's Buffalo setlist, 09/12

Twenty-five years and a day ago, U2 performed in Buffalo the day John Lennon was murdered. The set from that Buffalo show is unknown, but today's show included a number of Beatles and Lennon references. Severe snow in Boston threatened U2 from even flying to Buffalo, but they managed to fly out of Logan Airport a few hours later than intended and arrived in Buffalo just ninety minutes before the concert. Despite the delay, U2 did not choose to abbreviate their setlist - in fact, The Ocean was played for the first time in over a month.

The full set was:

1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. Vertigo / Help (snippet)
3. Elevation
4. Gloria
5. The Ocean
6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For / In A Little While (snippet)
7. Beautiful Day / Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (snippet) / Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (snippet)
8. Original Of The Species
9. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
10. Love And Peace Or Else
11. Sunday Bloody Sunday / Rock The Casbah (snippet)
12. Bullet The Blue Sky / The Hands That Built America (snippet) / When Johnny Comes Marching Home (snippet)
13. Miss Sarajevo
14. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
15. Where The Streets Have No Name / All You Need Is Love (snippet)
16. One / Help (snippet)
