Best version of Vertigo

this has to be the best version of vertigo I have ever heard. Its still brand new and there is so much energy and wow Bono's voice is huge on the second chorus

Thanks for posting the video..but honestly I've never really been a big fan of Vertigo.

I have always been a big fan of 'Vertigo' and I agree that that was a sublime performance. Maybe the best I've ever heard. Thanks for the post.

(What I'm not a big fan of in this performance is Bono's slickster-mullet.)

The best Vertigo?

i really enjoy the 360 version. it was actually one of the highlights for me at the Chicago show. the energy is awesome and the final minute is pure rock. love it!

I don't like any versions of Vertigo. That being said, my favorite is Honolulu 2006.

360 version, with the siren-like intro and the new drums in the ending.

Native Son.

i like the siren too on the 360 versions but Bono doesnt realy hit the notes in chorus on any of the 360 versions I have heard he seems to have lost that feeeeeeeeeel sound he could easily pull of in 05

The rock n roll hall of fame version is just so good because the song is new they are being inducted into the hall of fame and the blow the roof of that place and Bonos vocals are absolutely great

 

[No spoken words]

Native Son.

Fuck, you beat me to it.

360 version, with the siren-like intro and the new drums in the ending.

I love that siren. Gives the song much more energy! People have to go nuts, if they want it or not..

 

[Niceman]

Native Son.

GOD I'm glad that song/version was dumped! Crapola (IMHO!)

 

[super fly guy]

Vertigo is an amazing song,and even better live. Gives everybody a kick up the arse!

 

[alanah]

Maybe I'll appreciate it someday.

I prefer the 360 versions, with the extended outro. The Rose Bowl performance was good, with the "It's Only Rock N' Roll" snippet.

I watched the RRHOF 25th anniversary footage this christmas, and couldnt' stand how bad Vertigo was performed. Bono completely ruined the whole melody.

Interesting to see it was so much better when they were inducted themselves.

For me it's probably the Vertigo tour version with the Stories for Boys reprise. Though the 360 live versions were pretty good too.

Sheffield.

Pour some sugar on me!

 

[last unicorn]

Most 360° tour versions I've heard of Vertigo simply rocked

 

[powerhour24]

Fuck, you beat me to it.

 

[nielsgov]

It's amazing live.

I watched the RRHOF 25th anniversary footage this christmas, and couldnt' stand how bad Vertigo was performed.

Gotta say I agree. Wasn't too impressed with the entire set.

Anyways, if people are suggesting Native Son as the worst version, I'll say it's the best.

99% agreed, except: For me it's surely the Vertigo version with the Stories For Boys reprise.

I miss those days when Bono was able to hit the Feel , never happend on 360.

Even when his voice was very tired on Vertigo tour he was able to hit it:

You never miss an opportunity to whine about Bono's voice, do you?

 

[achtung_girl]

I heard the RRHF perfomance yesterday and I really liked it. I think it was the best this year.

 

[Peterrrrr]

You never miss an opportunity to whine about Bono's voice, do you?

Highlight and the energy of the song is "Feel".

 

[Earl-Of-IMDb]

Dang the Buenos Aires audience impress me. love the energy of the argentine crowd, They're crazy.

 

[pepokiss]

while the absolute best is the Twickenham version for me (the finale, Vertigo 2) , I couldn't find it...

but this is 2nd for me, I've always loved this one

This version is awsome, "einz, zwei, drei, CATOR-haha!'
Plus the band look to be generally enjoying themselves with it

Seattle II 2005

It was the first time the infamous "encore" with second Vertigo happened, and it should have been the only time. The performance is really heavy, with Edge adding some cool riffs in the ending, with Bono going seriously nuts. By far the best version I've heard.

The 360 versions are pretty weak IMO. Bono's voice isn't going as far as it has been and Larry's drumming lacks the punch of Vertigo versions.
