Yeah, I agree, that's another thing that does it for me

They haven't done anything quite like it since then.

Hmmm...nope, I think you're right, I think for where a multiple segue of songs is concerned, ZooTV was the pinnacle

Another "Please" vote here as well (but leave out the Playboy Mansion snippet at the end). COBL would be amazing preceding Streets--i can't wait to see what they're going to do with COBL on the next tour.

As long as they don't murder it, same here lol 
Personally, I think they need to get a bit more "oomph" behind it - for me, at any rate, some of the performances seem to lack some of the power that was on the album version, but that said there were performances which blew me away (watching and listening, I mean). If they could consistently blast it out in the same way Streets always is, I'd be happy
Ab into D...hmm...I guess the obvious thing would be to move COBL up to A or bring Streets back down to Db, unless someone can explain to me that Ab and D bear enough similarity to render such a transition possible...?

Yes! I think that if they were played back to back, the momentum from either one would carry into the next one and create a twelve-minute natural high. How awesome woul that be?!

Rather fucking good lol

Agreed...make it more powerful. Did Larry use a less-powerful drumset during Vertigo by the way? I'm not an expert on that area...Elevation was much more powerful with more beat coming from the drums. Just compare SBS from both tours..

I have absolutely no idea Casper, I've currently got the ZooTV set running around in my head lol (ZooTV + The Fly = I'm starting to really love it again )...I 'd have said the tempo was a key difference during Elevation for sure - compare BTBS over either tour, and the Vertigo version was so much slower and more melancholy than crash-bang-whallop-eat-molten-lead type thing lol...the solos still kicked arse though...

The solo's during Vertigo wasn't bad either though, but indeed much slower. Overall, Vertigo Tour was a bit too flat for me. Like it anyway though..

Hmmm, I'd say my favourite tours would go ZooTV/Pop/Vertigo/Elevation/JT + Lovetown/the rest of them...

Favourites? Lovetown and Zoo TV/JT/Elevation for sure. But I do like Vertigo...
I'm also looking forward to the official statement of U2's new album release..when will it be official? What will be the name? Can't wait...
