I know there is a thread of best opener so I decided to make a thread about the best closer.

The options:

40
Moment of Surrender 360
One Popmart
Love is Blindness Zoo TV
Cant Help Falling In Love Zoo TV
Walk On Elevation
The Ocean October Tour
11 o clock tick tock Boy
 
1) "40"
2) Moment of Surrender
3) Walk On

I've only seen Moment of Surrender live, and I loved it as the closer. Nothing like "40" though.
 
I've seen live, in order of apearence:

Mothers Of The Disappeared
All I Want Is You
Love Is Blindness
Moment Of Surrender

MY order:
MOS
LIB
MOTD
AIWIY


Popmart never had a DEFINITIVE closer, did it?

All time U2 closers:

1- Walk On
2- Moment Of Surrender
3- 40
4- Love Is Blindness/Can't Help Falling In Love
5- Vertigo 2
6- 11 O'Clock Tick Tock
 
Bad is not in the original post?

Epic fail.

(Though the actual winner in my books is One Tree Hill, all three times it has closed. But for a song that actually stuck around a bit as a closer, it's got to be Bad, especially with the 40 snippet.)
 
^ This. I was there on one of those three instances and it was sublime.

Otherwise:

1. 40
2. Bad
3. Walk On
4. Love Is Blindness

5. The rest
 
Even though its not on the list:

1. Bad
2. All I Want Is You
3. 40

I actually do not think MOS is that great of closer. Looks like I'm in the minority. :shrug:
 
1. Love Is Blindness
2. 40
3. Bad

Bad is a better song, but Love Is Blindness was so epic on Zoo TV.
 
40

Love is blindness

Moment of surrender

... and a very honourable mention to Kite 2006 version.
 
Walk On
40
Moment of Surrender (some nights it really felt like the best closer ever)
