New York. Didn't care for it at all until I first heard it live. Now I can't get enough of it.
The Fly was always a great tune, but done really well on this past tour.
Sweetest Thing. I thought they took a classic b-side and made it WORSE (on the Best Of.. album), until I heard it live.
The best song they've ever done live is Gone on this past tour. Again, like The Fly, was always a great tune, but I really lose myself when they play this live.
I think Charlie"s Angel hit it right on the head though. They can take an average studio track and just give it amazing life when they perform it live. Pop was a great example of that, and, believe it or not, Actung baby. Listening to U2 for 10 years before Actung Baby came out, that was a HUGE sound difference at the time, and I had to listen to that album a bunch of times before I accepted it. Then, of course, Zoo Tv came along and they played practically every song off of it, and I fell in love with the album.
my two cents
