Best closing song

[TheEdge10]

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

 

[prbiker15]

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.

 

[corianderstem]

What, no Vertigo x2?

(Or Yahweh?)

 

[TheEdge25]

1 - 40
2 - Moment of Surrender
3 - Love Is Blindness

 

[Bonogirl777]

1 - 40
2 - Moment of Surrender
3 - Love Is Blindness

This.

 

[IanIinTheSky]

1-40
2-Love is Blindness
3-Bad

 

[AnCatKatie]

I'm going to have to go with 40. 40 40 40.

 

[powerhour24]

I'm going to have to go with 40. 40 40 40.

Without a doubt.

 

[pepokiss]

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

 

[Harry Vest]

Bad
40
Love Is Blindness

Best non-band closer - "Theme From Harry"s Game" - Clannad

 

[Axver]

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.)

 

[LemonMelon]

^ 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

 

[Galeongirl]

40 x infinity


Love is Blindness
Moment of surrender

 

[Blue Room]

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.

 

[TheEdge10]

Sorry I forgot about Bad and Vertig

 

[coolian2]

one tree hill

 

[TheEdge10]

1. Can't Help Falling In Love
2. Bad
3. 40
4. Walk On

 

[Blue Room]

one tree hill

Good call, forgot about that. Especially on Vertigo.

Also I would add Kite to the list.

 

[cobl04]

Kite
Daylight
Page breaks
Not worth thinking about

 

[Vlaco]

1. Love Is Blindness
2. 40
3. Bad

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

 

[TheEdge10]

What shows did kite close

 

[An Cat Gav]

bad, 40 or love is blindness.

 

[Blue Room]

What shows did kite close

A lot of the Australian shows on Vertigo.

 

[U2girl]

40

Love is blindness

Moment of surrender

... and a very honourable mention to Kite 2006 version.

 

[pepokiss]

Clocks/In My Place

 

[Salome]

Walk On
40
Moment of Surrender (some nights it really felt like the best closer ever)

 

[Dfit00]

All I Want Is You

 

[Dfit00]

It was a reference to the band, not to the songs that were posted.
