U2 Go Home
Oh come on.
Not one dud song, an absolute fiery performance, in one hell of a setting. It's everything I could ask of the band. 11 O'clock Tick Tock is practically why I'm on this godforsaken site.
I'll pay Rattle and Hum as truly exceptional too, Bad being one of the other two songs responsible for my presence here (Gone being the third).
Bit harsh,tour has just started.[emoji41]U2 Go Home
I do really love the Paris IE DVD.
I need to watch 360 again, but I remember being disappointed with it because
a) Breathe relegated to bonus track;
b) wayyyy too dark;
c) not enough Claw action.
It's the part where you said "better than the rest combined". Prefer whatever era you want, but to disregard the multimedia brilliance and great performances of the Sydney and Mexico videos is just...well, I guess it's just typical Axver hyperbole.
Personally I don't think any of them are so good that I can just watch that one and never have to see the others again.
Odd to see so many people mentioning Boston. It's my least favorite tour, and for one of my least favorite albums. I don't think Bono was in particularly fine form at the time, either. There's some great stuff like The Fly and Bad but overall I go back to this one the least.
I wouldn't say the setlist for slane is fucking awful either. Atyclb tracks on their debut tour. UTEOTW, NYD, Out of Control, All I want is you. Good versions of Mysterious Ways and Bullet.
It is. Compared with the rest of the tour especially. 20-song set, with one song, a belter of a performance of Mysterious Ways, inexplicably relegated to the bonus features. They'd dropped all the good Pop stuff, with only ho-hum acoustic performances of Wake up Dead Man and Staring at the Sun. Only five ATYCLB songs, including the four most popular by a mile, and one of them which would be better by the length of the Flemington straight on the next tour. And then, outside of AIWIY, all the other tracks have pretty much been regulars at some point since.
And all that said, it's still a shit hot show. That AIWIY-Streets segue was my favourite until I heard the RTSS and Please segues. Kite is emotional as hell for obvious reasons. One had Hear Us Coming.
I do really love the Paris IE DVD.

I think it's crazy to hear the opinion that Bono isn't on on Boston. He's so emotional and raw on it. I love it.
Do you take Bad/40 over AIWIY?
RTSS, Please, Bad/40, and AIWIY are all incredible segues.
Every subsequent segue has been absolute junk.
Got you. Yeah, this is undeniable.I'm just talking about pure vocal power. ATYCLB was one of his weakest in that regard and it seemed like he didn't get it back until the next album and tour. Obviously he could still turn in an emotional, committed performance.
I'm quite partial to the Boston Elevation DVD. I cant' help myself, I'm just really nostalgically attached to it, seeings as I watched the crap out of it when I was 14 and first getting into the band.
