I used to spend a fair bit of time trying to identify snippets if that's what you mean?
 
Vik.

Oh, wait, he's the best at shoving women around while Bono ad-libs live. My apologies.
 
Guess I sortof opened it up for all manner of jokery with that lead in lol

Axver, I'll try and find the video again but it's the snippet at the end of Running To Stand Still in Tempe '87...I know the chant is En Pueblo Vencera...but he also sings an additional ad lib and I can't really make out what he's singing..take a stab at it?

Whoa, I hadn't listened to that recording in years. I'm so glad to have been reminded of it. Seriously amazing performance. This is why U2 is my favorite band.
