forgot to add.... the ending of WOWY as U2girl pointed out. When that bass returns, it's just too beautiful for words.

I would say the live recording of "Bad", the first 20 seconds still give me goose bumps.....a classic.

Lary crashing on the cymbals in Streets. He crashed on them at the perfect moments.

1. Intro of Streets off cource, which is absolutely amazing.
2. The "take me higher" lines in EBTTRT give me chills every time I hear it.
3. Edge's guitar part in Mysterious Ways when he moves his feet on a very cool way.
4. I'm a man line of Kite, amazing!
5. Also the intro of OOTS is amazing, amazing vocals.

I like when Zooropa's lyrics start, the music right at that part and hearing Bono's voice, finally, during the song.
Again, there are just sooooo many to choose from, but, it is interesting to see what parts are just parts to me, but move others. And vice-versa.
Left off one that really gives me the chills, I'm a moron....during A Sort of Homecoming, everything from "The wind will crack..." until "She will die, and live again....tonight".....good lord, that part kills me, every single time. Wow.

Ooh, yes! I forgot about that one. Good call.

The part on The Unforgettable Fire (the album) where 4th of July quietly transitions into the opening chords of Bad always gives me the chills. That moment pretty much sums up the kind of album that UF is, at least for me.

Hmm, so many good ones already gone! I'll try to branch out a bit....
1. The last two minutes or so of Please, particularly the live version
2. The final "There will there be no time for sorrow" verses of Playboy Mansion
3. Basically all of Angel of Harlem
4. The "with your soldiers of Zion" line in Love and Peace Or Else. Bono's phrasing sounds so cool....he turns into Stevie Wonder for about two seconds.
5. The intro to the acoustic version of Electrical Storm (I'm currently obsessed with this song at the moment, so pardon my French but U2 need to play this song on the tour starting f***in yesterday)
6. The 'Hallelujah' part of Hands That Built America
7. The bass line of Twilight

The piano followed by the falsetto in the chorus of Lemon.
The first chorus in Do You Feel Loved. Extremely low and sexy.
The Edge's solo in Miracle Drug followed by "Beneath the noise..."
Bono in SYCMOYO with "Best you can do...is to fake it"
In UTEOTW "In the garden I was playing the tart..."
IGWSHA, "It's the blind leading the blond..." followed by the magnificent "So where is the hope, and where is the faith, and the love..."
The beginning of Running To Stand Still -- "And so she woke up..."
Intros of Streets and Zoo Station.
The Fly's "A man will beg, a man will crawl..."

The very end of a line in The Fly "...that can sometimes be a pest..." - that's magic.

this isn't the best by any means, but I thought of one that I don't think anyone else has said...
the moment in Playboy Mansion (one of my fav songs off Pop), where he sings "then will there be no time for sorrow/then will there be no time for shame/and though I can't say why/ I know I've got to believe" and he hits that note. I love that moment. It's so shocking, after the first verses filled with irony and cynicism, all the sudden you have this statement of faith. but it's so fragile and not as self-assured as in the 80s. I dig it.

I've been watching ZooTV Sydney, so I've got two from there.
1. The hallelujahs at the end of Running To Stand Still, especially the second to last "halle, halle, hallelujah" where Bono's voice really hits the top.
2. The part in Love Is Blindness right after Bono sings the "a little death with out mourning......" part and then kind of cries out and the Edge goes into that "so beautiful it hurts" guitar solo.

I loved that line in Love and Peace from the first listen, back on that blessed Weekend that the album leaked. But, isn't it "daughters of Zion"?

OOTS - everywhere you go you shout it/combined with Edges guitar right there--oooh amazing
SYCMIOYO - when he belts out the "you're the reaaaason why..." near the end
God Part II - all of Larry's drumming there, so much energy, the first verse "the truth is not the same w/o the lies he made up"...and especially the "heared a man singing on the radio late last night, said he's gonna kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight"

I love that verse for some reason

When Bono yells out All I want is You near the end of the song...then Edge takes over and it's pure Bliss!

Is it too cliche'd to say the opening bass lines of "New Year's Day?"

from Chicago 4, May 12 ~ Vertigo Tour 2005-
The whole band huddles around Larry's drumkit, Bono with both arms around Adam and the Edge, as they close out a 10+ minute version of 'Bad'
Was there in person and it was really a moment to be saved, for sure
Here's the link to a fellow Interferencer's photo of the moment

Running To Stand Still - When Bono sings Whooooooo and those thudding drums kick in along with the beautifully understated picked guitar, all above one of the most simple yet beautiful piano riffs ever. Amazing. And live it's unbelievable whether he sings "still running" or "hallelujah" at the end. Wow.
