Discothèque
#1 Live versions, U2 performed during 2005 – unfortunately this performence has not got the staple setlist spot, it deserved.
#2 Live versions in 1997/98 – some of them really great (with snippets a là "Whole Lotta Love")
#3 Live versions of 2001.
#4 Studio version from the orginal album (by the way, all later studio remixes from POP are far inferior, so they will be omitted here).
Mofo
#1 Live versions in 1997/98 – some of them really great, not depending on which leg. You find those performances even as early as on leg 1.
#2 Studio version from the orginal album.
Do You Feel Loved
#1 Studio version from the orginal album.
#2 Live versions in 1997, until this gem from POP suddenly was banned forever from the setlists. But Bono really struggled to get it right – and had it in Tempe, 9th May 1997. It never was a crowd pleaser though ...
If God Will Send His Angels
#1 Live versions in 1997, until this tune as a very official U2 single (!) was skipped forever as early as after the 1st leg. Especially the long full band performance in Las Vegas and some very inspired versions, e,g. including Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah", deserve a very special mention.
#2 Studio version from the orginal album.
Staring At The Sun
#1 Studio version from the orginal album.
#2 Live versions in 1997, when the complete band still tried to perform this rocking tune in its full electric glory.
#3 Live versions in 1997/98, after the 2nd New Jersey show. All that remained, was the camp fire atmosphere of the acoustic sound – which still was beautiful.
#4 Live versions in 2001, when this tune was connected to Discothèque as part of a POP-Medley.
#5 Live versions in 2001, when SATS was played acoustic as during POPmart – a copy, that was blocking the spot of more interesting acoustic performances.
Last Night On Earth
#1 Live versions in 1997/98, especially those from the middle of leg 2 onwards: The song had a new middle & a new ending with Larry being the thunder and Edge, you name it, on fire ...
#2 Studio version from the orginal album.
Gone
#1 Live versions in 2001, with The Edge playing the heartbreaking solo at the ending, which in all other versions unfortunately doesn't show up.
#2 Live versions in 1997/98.
#3 Studio version from the orginal album.
Miami
#1 Live versions in 1997, especially those from the legs 1 & 2 – being one of the tour's highlight performances with Bono the actor, quoting one of his very early stage personas (The fool) ...
#2 Studio version from the orginal album.
Please
#1 Live versions in 1997/98, especially those from the middle of leg 2 onwards: The song had become transcendental then – the core of the show and of of the best band moments in U2 history.
#2 Live versions in 2001, when this tune really became a kind of fullfilled prophecy & a prayer for peace. U2 played it acoustic on US stages after 9/11 – a dark, hair raising moment of reflection for everyone lucky enough to attend these moments. One of the most intense minutes in U2's live history.
#3 Studio version from the orginal album.
#4 The single completely failed attempt to play the tune electric in 2001 – well under-rehearsed, it was perhaps a nice gag, but in reality it showed once again, that U2 have to rehearse hard, when they want to dust off older gemes ...
If You Wear That Velevet Dress
#1 Live versions in 1997/98, especially the long full band version from the very first night in Las Vegas, that showed all the intensity and poetry in this magical tune.
#2 Studio version from the orginal album.
Wake Up Dead Man
#1 Live versions in 2001, when Bono & The Edge performed it as a moment of reflection during these energetic & rocking shows.
#2 Studio version from the orginal album. It would have been very interesting, what the band might have made out of it as a full band electric version.
#3 Live versions in 1997/98, used as a snippet link to "One", to end the shows. That's not a show closer, I do expect from U2 shows. Always felt then: There's something missing ...
