It seems to me that they, or perhaps one or two of them, just really enjoy playing it. In that clip from "Day in the Life of Edge," Bono looks as though he is having the time of his life when they take that lifeguard's guitar and start playing the song.
I don't disagree. I am always aware that my own personal preferences mean nothing and that the band need to do what makes them happiest while still trying to please the mass audiences they attract. My perspective, at best, represents an insanely niche group, if that.
I liked hearing the song a lot on the Elevation Tour, I'll say that. It would just work better for me, personally, if it was something I heard occasionally, speaking as a person that attends multiple shows per tour.
