I disagree, especially about Streets. The psychedelic "techno" Popmart versions, when Bono's voice was on, were the best versions since the JT tour. The highly energetic Elevation versions (coming after Bad or All I Want Is You) were also pretty special. The song definitely lost something on the Vertigo tour. I think the choice of the song that preceded it is unsatisfactory both on this and the Vertigo tour. Streets needs a huge, epic build-up. Pride or the Desmond Tutu Speech or One/Walk On couldn't make this happen. Amazing Grace makes a slight improvement though, but nowhere near to what Running To Stand Still or Please transitions were.
We'll just have to agree to disagree then. I really cannot listen to the Popmart versions, it just feels so weak to me. Elevation isn't bad, but it's certainly on the lower regions on my list of best Streets tours. Vertigo lost it all because of the flags and Africa babbling throughout the song.
The only build up for me for Streets is a red screen with that intro organ playing. Chills down my spine every time. RTSS was my favourite transition ever.
