Excluding "Electrical Storm", which has never been performed live, "Another Day" can be considered to be U2's least played single. Only four renditions at three concerts are known to have been played - however, it must be emphasised that "Another Day" dates from before the release of the Boy album and the majority of setlists from that era are unknown. It is probable that "Another Day" was performed many more times in the late 1970s and in early 1980. Electrical Storm was the first and only single from U2s second compilation album, The Best of 1990-2000, and one of the two new songs recorded for that album (the other one being The Hands That Built America).
