What, for you, makes a great, no, the best - U2 show to listen to?
I like it when they nail everything, but its going to take me a bit to list what everything to me is, so in the mean time i would love everyone's ideas, also throw in a show that could represent it best!

They're usually the greatest when a band member is bored and mixes things up a little. I like it when I think I know a song like the back of my hand, during a tour, and then they play it one night and Edge changes something so miniscule that nobody would notice it except a die-hard show listener.

Mistakes and little changes make it all that much better. When Edge messed up the solo on one Magnificent performance for example.

I like how vague your example is but I agree. Or you get a random snippet that doesn't appear often (Strangers in the Night in WOWY is epic and makes it special)

It might have been the streaming Rose Bowl show.

Yeah he changed/adapted a screw up on the Rose Bowl show. Great.

A good crowd is a must have. Bono feeds off it like a drug. See Streets from Brussels 87 for example.

I guess from that gig that a bit of alcohol plus a good crowd is the secret ingredient Ger

Anybody remember Bono (maybe Edge?) saying in U2 by U2 that during the Elevation Tour they became conscious of people following them city to city and getting in the heart, and how it was sort of a let down to be playing to the same people every night, since those are the ones that get the action off of the band's energy? Makes perfect sense; although I'd enjoy that, I think I'd prefer sitting in a different spot in the arena each time, if I were to follow.

Just a ramble based on Ger's post.
