The Edmonton 1997-06-15 version is a standout example for me - the way it flows from a great version of UTEOTW into IGWSHA is magical, and even though it's abbreviated, it's amazing. Bono's voice isn't quite there, but it doesn't detract from the spectacle because he's really giving it everything. Brilliant.
