Songs: Old Tour vs. New

[phillyfan26]

The title of the post doesn't make sense, I know. Here's the thoughts I'm looking for:

Compare the non-HTDAAB regular songs of the Veritgo tour as performed on it to those songs on older tours. Which was better?

For example, did you like The Fly better on ZooTV, Elevation, or Vertigo? NYD on which tour? Running to Stand Still? Etc.

This could be such a big list:

This is my opinion on some songs:

The Fly:
ZooTV
Vertigo (if only Bono tried to sing it)
Elevation

Boy songs: prefer Vertigo versions over the 80's tours.

Gloria wasn't better on Vertigo.

War songs: I usually skip SBS live, NYD was better in the 80's tours and Zoo TV, 40 was better on the 80's tours.

UF songs: Bad is always good, Pride was best on Lovetown/Zoo TV, followed by 80's tours, Vertigo, Elevation and Popmart.

JT songs: Streets is always good, I still haven't found... was better on 80's tours and Zoo TV than afterwards, same goes for WOWY, Bullet was best on Zoo TV and Elevation, I like all versions of Running to stand still.

RaH songs: AIWIY was best on Lovetown and Elevation.

AB: I like both Zoo stations, UTEOTW and MW are always good, One was best on Zoo TV, I like the electric Who's gonna ride versions (I also liked when Adam and Larry joined on the acoustic version on Vertigo - reminds me of Temple bar versoin) and I enjoy all the Fly's.

Pop: Discotheque Elevation tour, then Popmart, then Vertigo.

ATYCLB: BD was better at being euphoric on previous tour, Elevation was better on this tour. (I think IALW was played pretty much the same way on Vertigo and Elevation?) Walk on and Stuck were better for me when they weren't acoustic.

Non-album: Miss Sarajevo; prefer this over Popmart version.

bullet: too boring on vertigo imo, elevation tour
elevation: dunno why, i just prefer it on elevation tour
the fly: elevation tour (see the trend so far?!)
an cat dubh/into the heart: prefered it in the 80's i liked the slap and poped bass
zoo station was better on zootv
streets is the best set opener ever so i say lovetown or jt tour
gloria isnt the same without the bass solo
mysterious ways is best on popmart
any version of nyd with bass chorus is good although i do like it on vertigo

Zoo station was way better on Zoo tv
