So, if U2 were always to end their shows with the same song, what do you think it should be? I'm going with "All I Want is You," but that's purely for sentimental reasons.

40! There's nothing like the feeling of being one of 15,000+ people leaving the venue and singing "How long to sing this song" into the streets!

I never got to experience this, and I sure want to. So I am going with not just 40, but Bad into 40!!!

"One" because it always makes me bawl like a baby when they play it live, and I want to leave the concert with that feeling!

Definatley 40!!! I've never heard it live, but it must be amazing, like BostonAnne said!
 
Walk On! Beats them all.

PLUS: Did they use Love Is Blindness as a closer? I though They used Fools Rush In (The Elvis song whatever the name is)

Actually that was called "Can't Help Falling In Love", used during ZooTV as the closer. Great closer, though I prefer either Walk On or 40. Both work equally well.

I like the Walk On / 40 idea, though I would hope that it is a full version of 40, and not just a snippet.
 
Nobody else thinks that the soaring guitar solo at the end of "All I Want Is You" makes for an awesome closer...?

I love the tradition of 40, but Walk On works marvellously, so I say Walk On.. then the band start up 40 as they leave the stage. that would be cool.
 
The ultimate closer has gotta be Mariano Rivera.

Adam: Look guys, I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection.
Edge: Oh boy, here we go...
Bono: Wow, how many is that now Adam?
Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Bono: Can I see it?
*adam gives bono the spoon, bono throws it away*
Adam: My spoon!
