true....my only problem with both tours is that Still Haven't Found was ignored on the first leg of each tour. And as for 2001-05-16 Chicago.....no thank you

I was more mentioning the opening section of the set up until SYCMIOYO. Obviously, the political section of the set was a staple part of the tour (apart from some 1st leg shows where the orders were all changed around or if LAPOE was used as the show opener) so it was unlikely to change, just as Elevation always opened with Elevation, Beautiful Day and UTEOTW. I'm not complaining on either, I just think that, as far as variety of sets go, Vertigo wins hands down lol.

although you gotta admit U2 were closer to their fans on the Elevation Tour...
this is kinda Indoor Intimacy against Outdoor Rocking as far as types of shows come. It depends on what you prefer. However, when Elevation was brought outside....there was this one show that highlighted the tour.......
Songs like WTSHNN, WOWY and WGRYWH really come alive in the big arenas just as much as the slower more intimate stuff. I also think that it was representative of how the band felt at the time. Coming off the back of Pop, where they felt they'd let people down in some respects (hence Bono's quote of "re-applying for best band in the world"), they felt they really need to regain the trust of the fans, whereas during Vertigo, they were on a high and Bono was on a roll as far as his own personal work was going, so they felt pretty good about themselves Originally posted by stj0691I like to think of it as Slane against Buenos Aires as far as best of's come......
I'd take Slane anyday
