the best fly video?

And if you ask why, it's because Edge fucked up the guitar tone on Elevation. That's not The Fly. Wrong key, wrong sound.

Ayup

Fixed 'er up good for Vertigo tho!

1.) U23D- blows it all away. There was no malfunction at the beginning, Dallas or the tech assistant just brought out the wrong guitar, hence Bono asking 'where is the fly?' When they find it, it is pretty damn spectacular if you ask me. The first shot of Larry drumming as the intro gets going is incredible. Tweaked the ending a little.
2.)Boston-great intro piece, echo the comments about the solo, the overall goal of the elevation tour being shown well, and then the running around, extended ending with the wall splat. That is in second for sure.
3.)Zoo TV-Original performance.

I can't stand when people say studio and Zoo TV sound the same. The guitar tone is much improved (moves from buzzing to a much harder rock sound) and the vocals are much stronger.

it's the best tone to ever come out of a guitar. i don't know how that qualifies as 'fucked up.'

That qualifies for a malfunction in my book. The intro was fucked up and the song didn't recover after that.

Are you people nuts?!?!?!
Boston by a long shot!!!
That solo is epic.
Th only problem? It needs to be louder!!!!

QFT. I agree 100%. The Fly is my favourite U2 single of all time.

Different strokes. I didn't particularly like it, and I certainly don't think it fit the song. The key change hurt it too. I think Elevation Fly is incredibly overrated.

Video ? Zoo TV.

Performance ? I liked all the versions so far. Ideally, a mix of Elevation intro (and the Gotta go at the end), Zoo TV vocals, Vertigo band sound, and Bono running around like Elevation.
