Rob33 said:nice one zooeuss! it's amazing, we have compiled video of the entire show within days after the performance, when at first we were skeptical as to video/audio even existing!
Thanks to all who took the time to post downloads, links and suggestions to help everyone, myself included, see these incredible performances!

I thought that vocally Bono was excellent in AOH and sang it perfectly for an acoustic performance like that (except some lyric mess ups)...

Axver, I must say, you absolutely crack me with your hyperboles...It is seriously mind boggling to me how Stay (Faraway, So Close!), one of U2's best songs IMO, could "bore" you "to tears"....i mean, sometimes I come across really horrible stuff on youtube and that "bores me to tears"...but U2, Stay (Faraway, So Close!)???? absolutely baffling...oh well
last unicorn said:Wow, guys, thank you so much for all the uploads, file conversions, etc., you are all great!
I finally was able to watch all the flash files with IE at my work pc, but strangely, Stay does not work for me on my home computer.
I really enjoyed ALL of the performances, though AOH had a false start by Bono and some messed up lyrics, but still a great performance, and his vocals are amazing. I love to see the interaction between Bono and Edge.
U2girl said:As for their "worst decision live" - easily that Karaoke thing on Popmart. They could have easily played a U2 song, or a cover, anything but that. Luckily it got cut down as the tour went on but still.
Axver said:
The woeful Elevation acoustic set, however - that wasn't an attempt at humour, just a laughably bad excuse for a band trying to create an "intimate" setting and in the process wasting about 10 minutes of concert time that could have been used on playing the songs properly.
t8thgr8 said:maybe the way bono sings the long wave in that version is a sign of the vocal style we will see in the next album
U2jer said:Converted the U2.com sourced videos to mp3s, should be all set.. enjoy!

U2girl said:So the only reason you like this version of Stay is because Bono's voice is better than Elevation ? I mean, the guitar sounds pretty much the same...
U2girl said:We may yet warm you up to acoustic U2.
Rob33 said:
yeah there were some imperfections like that and errors but all that would be easily straightened out with some rehearsing, and as we all know, there was little of that for this gig...but the more important thing here is the way Bono is singing...this is so exciting!!! All 4 performances were absolutely superb vocally (both of them)...so I think we are in for something special as far as album/tour is concerned
Peterrrr! Where are you?? Reactions, thoughts?!?!

And the "yeah yeah!" in Angel of Harlem hasn't be attacked like this in years, much like the "oh sister I can't let you go" verse in Desire.

You mean the "she's heart and soul" bit ? Yes that was different to other live versions of Angel of Harlem.
I'm digging the "WAVE" part and that last "stay with the demons you drowned, stay with the spirit I found, STAY and the night will be enough", you can hear him grunt afterwards. I just wish he'd do the oh-oh-oh-oh bits more fluently, like the album or Zoo TV versions.
