Also thought this was cool, although not a "good" live cover, its still pretty cool

As a U2 fan, I would have loved this if I were there.

I always liked Robbie Williams, so this is pretty cool too.

While this is not really a "real" cover because Edge is there, it is still my FAVORITE live cover version of a U2 song.

I have to agree. While having Edge onstage for the signature riff and the backing track really helps (if nothing else to get the Muse guys super psyched to step up to his level of awesome), there's an element to Streets that's sometimes overlooked and imo isn't as easy to nail as some might think and that's the emotional energy and intensity of the drums. I really think the drummer really nails it here and the bass player is completely in the pocket with him. I don't like Muse at all, but this is just an awesome cover.
