Definately elevation!

Slane dvd is a testament to this!

 

[LMP]

ZOO STAY-SHUNNNNNNN!

and Bono doing his 'Karate Kid' pose in front of the TV screens

Wax On, Wax Off Bono-san

 

[U2girl]

Zoo station tied with Where the streets have no name.

Though Love and peace or else has its moments too.

 

[Palace_Hero]

Zoo station tied with Where the streets have no name.

Though Love and peace or else has its moments too.

I heartily agree, though I'd take Mofo over LAPOE, my good friend.

 

[miss becky]

Zoo Station and Mofo. I can't possibly choose between them.

 

[cardosino]

Streets

 

[2861U2]

The only live show Ive seen opened with LAPOE, and that was awesome. But the Slane DVD is what gives my vote to Elevation.

 

[#1bonofan]

It would have to be "city of Blinding Lights" or "Zoo Station"

 

[u2fly1]

Oh it's tough but Zoo Station.

 

[MsMofoGone]

MOFO ...

 

[1stepcloser]

Zoo Stationnnnnnnnnnn

easy choice

 

[I'm Ready]

How bout Like a Song to bad they dont play that these days... anyways with the choices i think where the streets have no name is good

 

[FlyYourKite]

Mofo, hands down

Gets me all fired up just thinking about it!

 

[Zoots]

Hey... it's FlyYourKite!

Believe it or not, you're famous now.

 

[FlyYourKite]

Hey... it's FlyYourKite!

Believe it or not, you're famous now.

Am I? *hides* Not for the greatest of reasons either.

I just graduated from community college, recieving an Associate's Degree for Applied Science(Web Development major). It took two years and wealth of homework to get it.

I'd give it back in a heartbeat if I could go back to 1997 or 1998 and see just the first 10 minutes of a Popmart show, with the ingenius boxer-like arrival of the band on stage, and the opening number MOFO.

 

[Zoots]

Am I? *hides* Not for the greatest of reasons either.

you're fine! Just thought I'd see your reaction... oh, and say Hi.

 

[FlyYourKite]

you're fine! Just thought I'd see your reaction... oh, and say Hi.

Ok, phew. Hi by the way!

Mofo from the Best of DVD is on repeat

 

[BEVERLY56]

At the risk of being soundly thrashed...what is it with Mofo that everyone likes so much? Cuz I'm not getting it.

(Ducks under her desk to avoid flying objects)

 

[namkcuR]

It's an incredible rock song...one of Adam/Larry's most powerful collective moments...some of the most introspective lyrics Bono has ever written(at least for a commercially released song). And the way the band entered the Popmart stage to play it...

 

[God Part III]

Zoo Station.

Mofo shortly hereafter though!

 

[corianderstem]

Mofo is an awesome opener because it just SCREAMS live, and how can you not jump up and down and shake your ass when it kicks in? Man. Love it so much.

 

[00Kevin]

Where the streets have no name
definately.

 

[ree5669]

11 O' Clock Tick Tock

Goes with the whole nostalgia thing. I'd love it.

Other than that...
elevation!!!

 

[YBORCITY]

Streets/MOFO/Vertigo

 

[Irishteen]

Elevation

 

[Joshua87]

At the risk of being soundly thrashed...what is it with Mofo that everyone likes so much? Cuz I'm not getting it.

(Ducks under her desk to avoid flying objects)

Couple reason:

1. some of bonos best lyrics ever
2. edges guitar scream in the beginning--and the way he holds it live (what a bad ass moment)
3. pulsating bass
4. adams mask

MOFO

 

[popmart86]

elvation, indoor arena (a la BOSSSTTOOOONNE) beyotches!!!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Zoo Station because the overall build up leading into it is simply brilliant. Still gets me every time. Mofo because Bono swaggers up there onto the stage, shadow boxing in his robe, drops the robe, then instantly throws the knockout punch in Mofo.
