Mofo (MTV Euro Awards)

Nice list, LMP!

 

[Zoots]

especially Zoo Outside Broadcast '92

Actually I just watched that Outside Broadcast version and the one from Zoo Sydney back to back.. and I think I prefer Zoo Sydney for the sheer energy and the amazing lights!

 

[Nisse]

*New Year's Day (Popmart Mexico)
*One (Modena 95)
*North And South Of The River (Omagh Tribute 1998)

Bonos voice are mucher better on Uotsidebroadcast, one of the best versions of Streets also!

 

[Ifeelnumb84]

I'd like to add a few more for consideration:

The Fly, Boston 5/26/05

Until the End of The World, Slane Castle

40, Red Rocks 1983

Ultraviolet Dublin 1993

and:
Sunday Bloody Sunday from Rattle and Hum, Denver CO
The transition from just B+E to full band followed by Edge's solo, followed by Bono's speech is, for me, among the most emotional performances of any song I have ever seen.

 

[Hallucination]

I acn't list dates or specific shows but here are the songs I really like hearing live(no specific order):

1. Where the Streets Have No Name(anywhere)

2. Ultra Violet(Dublin '93)

3. Untill the End of the World(Anywhere - I like the video on best of 90-00)

4. Angel of Harlem(Slane Castle)

5. Stay(Far Away, So Close)(Dublin '93)

6. Running to Stand Still(Zoo TV)

7. All I Want is You(anywhere)

8. Zoo Station(anywhere)

9. Exit(Rattle and Hum video)

10. Elevation(Vertigo Tour)

 

[Axver]

I'm going to limit myself to one performance of each song, otherwise this may just be ten different One Tree Hills.

1. One Tree Hill (1989-12-26, Dublin)
...
...
[This signifies a huge gap]
...
...
2. 11 O'clock Tick Tock (1983-06-05, Red Rocks)
3. Where The Streets Have No Name (1989-12-26, Dublin)
4. The Electric Co. (2005-09-20, Chicago)
5. Bad (1987-11-08, Denver)
6. Exit (1987-11-18, Los Angeles)
7. Please (1997-09-23, Sarajevo)
8. God Part II (1989-11-23, Yokohama)
9. Sunday Bloody Sunday (1987-11-08, Denver)
10. The Fly (2005-09-20, Chicago)

Beyond about #5, I did that without much thought and it's liable to change. The top three in particular, however, are set in stone.

 

[Hallucination]

Axver Would you happen to have a copy of that One Tree Hill version. I'm guessing you might

 

[00Kevin]

9. With Or Without You 04-29-87

That's far and away the best version of with or without i've ever heard
