Moooooooooooofooooooo!

 

[sniggirb]

Gotta agree with inmyplace, Mofo

 

[neutral]

Another vote for Mofo

 

[POP-ROMANCER]

Love and peace or else!!

It would be so great to have first some video and the beginning of that song for 4 minutes or so and then larry kicks in!! Bono sings lay down .... but we can only see him (not so good) on the screens, and when he start singing Lay down your treasure!!! he's suddenly standing in front of you!!

ohhh dreams....

difficult question. LAPOE live is mindblowing, but I think it suits better in the middle part of the show. Yesterday in Brussels it relaunched the whole thing after two slow songs (miracle drug & sometimes ...).

I kinda liked Elevation, that could really build up the tension. The guitar riff of Zoo Station is extremely powerful. Popmuzik/Mofo is another great opener.

But if I have to choose one, I'll take Elevation.

 

[packcrush]

This is easy.

Moooooooooooooofooooooooooooooo!

Clunk clunk whhhhhhhhhhuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. . .



I get a bit carried away with this song. . .

 

[corianderstem]

Gotta go with Mofo, followed closely by Elevation just for the cool "trippy mix" intro and the band coming in with the lights up.

But yeah ... MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[Pero]

MMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFOooo
Mooooo
Fooooo

Now take a guess which is mine

 

[AtomicBono]

MOFO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Axver]

1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. 11 O'clock Tick Tock
3. Hawkmoon 269
4. City Of Blinding Lights
5. God Part II
6. Mofo
7. Gloria
8. Zoo Station
9. Love And Peace Or Else
10. Bullet The Blue Sky

1-5 is static, the rest prone to change.

 

[Zoots]

Zoo Station

 

[Achtung Ya'll]

Gotta go with Mofo, followed closely by Elevation just for the cool "trippy mix" intro and the band coming in with the lights up.

But yeah ... MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

This is the correct answer.

Ooh yay! Do I win a prize?

 

[pepokiss]

Looking for to save my, save my SOUL!!!

 

[impy13]

Looking in the places where no flowers growww

 

[timothius]

Zoo Station generally.
Mofo specifically.

Elevation not far behind.

 

[rjhbonovox]

Zoo Station is the greatest intro to a song their has ever been bar none and so that makes it the best opening number ever been! Still sends shivers down my neck with that first edge chord or note he plays!

 

[Sken]

Streets
Zoo Station
MOFO
Hawkmoon
Elevation
COBL

 

[corianderstem]

Hm ... I was thinking about Zoo Station as the album version, but the live version? With the long intro with Beethoven and the beating drums and everything?

 

[yimou]

Mofo

 

[gareth brown]

I'd say Mofo simply because the outstanding Mexico City performance following the blast of POP MUZIK through a stadium of screaming fans just knocks the bollocks off me each and every time!

Zoo Station is VERY close behind, though! superb song to open with.

 

[XHendrix24]

Mmm. Mofo.
