Zoo TV fer sure, though I loved the Desire/Hawkmoon/RTSS medley that they played once on the Elevation tour.
Yep, I was at the gig: Cologne, 12th July 2001. This version is really unique. There was a fan with lyric sheets in his hand at the B-stage, trying to convince Bono to sing a) Hawkmoon 269, b) Running To Stand Still, c) Red Hill Mining Town, d) One Tree Hill ...
... while eventually this really would jump on Bono's nerves (and maybe those also on the nerves of those around the guy in the audience, who might be disturbed or distracted by the fan's (mis)-behaviour), this very time it was different.
Bono reacted, looked at the sheets and decided impromptu to do the first two linked together, switched in with the setlisted "Desire". It was really awesome, an by all my respect: These are the moments, why I love U2 having an acoustic set in their shows. Anything can happen, but please – don't do this all the time, okay. It might also ruin a show ...
