and of course I forgot to mention Dirty Day (Zoo TV Sydney). That's my number 4!

 

[U2SJ]

San Jose 4/20, Kite and the whole show is awesome as well! Bono called this one of his best vocal performances of the Elevation Tour!

 

[Billy Mays]

It's cool when there's the extra verse in WOWY. It's pretty common on certain tours, so you know. Just find a performance somewhere.

Also, there's some song - I forget which one - but he added a bit of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." Awesome!

 

[corianderstem]

Sunday Bloody Sunday from Rattle and Hum (I can't believe no one's mentioned that one yet!)

Bad/Bullet/Running from Dublin 8-28-93

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I'm going to second North and South of the River from Omagh. It's so beautiful. If there was one U2 live moment that I had to keep, it was this.

 

[U2FAN_RAY]

1. BAD from Rattle and Hum
2.Sweetest Thing from Elevation Houston
3.Gone from Elevation Miami 1st show(3.24.01)

 

[ouizy]

I agree with most of these especially anything off Rock's Hottest Ticket (chicago '87.)

I would add however, anything from the Irving Plaza show for the latest stuff, and

-Zooropa, Babyface, and So Cruel all of which I think were played at Wembley (dunno the date...)

 

[U2girl]

Also One from the Modena concert, with the orchestra.

 

[senrab]

WOWY, R&H
Mothers of the Disappeared, Popmart Santiago
Bad, Live Aid

 

[U2One]

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but I'm a big fan of Sunday Bloody Sunday from the Slane Concert. I love the part at the end when Bono starts reading off the names of the people who were killed in the Omagh bombing....anyone else agree???

 

[elevated soul]

Dirty Day/Bullet/Running To Stand Still/Streets/Pride

from zoo tv sydney, one of the best 'combos'

I vouch for #3. I'm so glad I was there to see that!

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

Totally

Stay from Toronto.....

May 25, 2001. It's a b-side, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding it. ANd it was AMAZING (I should know, I was there!)

 

[Nate Dogg]

I vouch for #3. I'm so glad I was there to see that!

I was also at that show....what part of Florida are you from?

 

[Wowy23]

I was also at that show....what part of Florida are you from?

I live in North Lauderdale, a stones throw away from Margate & Coral Springs. The Sawgrass Mall is 20 minutes away; maybe the next concert will take place at the Home Depot Center or the American Airlines arena in Miami or both. Or will it be a stadium tour? Where are you in FL?

 

[Tip Top Prince]

So this is Christmas - from an Irish Talk Show (date unknown, but looks circa 87)

 

[AchtungJedi]

Unforgettable Fire--Chicago, 1987. Brilliant version of it, far better than the album version in my opinion.

 

[adamswildhoney]

San Jose 4/20, Kite and the whole show is awesome as well! Bono called this one of his best vocal performances of the Elevation Tour!

I this show, not that I was there or anything

I was!!!

I recommend Popmart from Sarajevo, it?s an outstanding concert.
