Wondering what everyone feels is each of the bands finest musical moment

Without wishing to appear a complete dick, I would like to enforce a one choice per band member policy. Lots of ppl may have been tempted to put a few for each but the question does ask for MOMENT and not the plural! Should sort the wheat from the chaff!!

In my opinion, its

Bono: Kite, he transfers the emotion of the song so well
Edge: With or without you, for the haunting guitar work
Adam: PLease, Just love this song and the bass line.
Larry: Bad Live, toward the end, you watch him, he really going to town and its such a good peice of drmming
 
Bono:Lemon
Edge : with or without you
Adam: New years day
Larry: Bad
 
Bono: Lemon
Edge: The Fly/Acrobat
Adam: City of Blinding Lights
Larry: Acrobat
 
Bono: live performances of Bad, namely ZooTV and Elevation
Edge: The Fly
Adam: Mysterious Ways
Larry: Bullet The Blue Sky
 
Bono: Elevation Fly, Miss Sarajevo, Exit JT, RTST Zootv Sydney.
Edge: Until the End of the World riffs
Adam: One Tree Hill, Mysterious Ways
Larry: Drum in the beginning of Sunday Bloody Sunday:drool:
 
Bono : running to tand still, Kite
Edge : til the end of the world/ with or without you
Adam : I will folow
Larry : 40:drool:
 
Bono: One Tree Hill
Edge: The Fly
Adam: In terms of how the bass fits the mood of the song, not so much technical abilities then I'd say Do You Feel Loved or Even Better Than the Real Thing
Larry: Gloria
 
Bono (vocally): Red Hill Mining Town
Bono (lyrically): So Cruel
Edge: The Fly
Adam: Do You Feel Loved
Larry: Bullet The Blue Sky
 
Bono: The Unforgettable Fire
Edge: The Fly
Adam: Please
Larry: Sunday Bloody Sunday
 
Bono (lyrically): One Tree Hill
Bono (vocally): Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own (Live)
Bono (playing): With Or Without You (Live)

The Edge (vocally): Van Diemen's Land
The Edge (playing): The Unforgettable Fire

Adam: New Year's Day

Larry: Playing the last solo in 40 - and starting Vertigo #2
 
Off the top of my head, and liable to change at a moment's notice:

Bono: Heartland (Bad a close second)
Edge: Mysterious Ways live/AIWIY
Adam: gawd, I can't choose. Mysterious Ways, or Please... or Exit... :drool:
Larry: Hawkmoon 269 (I can't believe no one's said this yet! Although honourable mention for most of the October album)

... Indecision, thy name is Alison. :reject:
 
Bono (vocally): Miss Sarajevo
Bono (lyrically): Love is Blindness
Edge: Mysterious Ways live
Adam: New Year's Day
Larry: 40
 
Bono: The Unforgettable Fire

Larry: Acrobat
 
Bono: Miss Sarajevo Live
Edge: Where The Streets Have No Name
Adam: New Year's Day and MoFo
Larry: God pt. 2/Like A Song/Sunday Bloody Sunday
 
Adam's lessons before Pop are so apparent. From that record on, he is so much more fluid and funky. His tone got better, too. Not that often you see professional musicians make an effort to really improve as he has. And now, even his "simple" parts are really great.
