Wait, how did this become different ? I can't imagine they've played it twice and first broadcast the bad version and later the good one...
But I also can't imagine they could edit/polished everything. Like in EBW, on tuesday Bono got the "We know that we fear to win" line wrong, but now it's ok ?
So, did they come back to do it again ?
Anyway, the friday version is just PERFECT imo. They found it.
Makes so much difference when Bono is top notch.
I thought California was sung very good as well.

California was unreal minus the loss of the dope intro and the synth in the chorus. My guess is Lawless will provide those on the tour though.
But man..I think the final chorus in California is one of the greatest pieces of music U2 has done for whatever reason. The:
"We come and gooooo, stolen days you don't give back, stolen days are just enough". It's one of those moments that gives me goosebumps everytime because it's just so melodic and perfect. The Edge and Bono harmonizing on top of the chords is just like BAM. To give another example of what I mean (besides the obvious ones like the Streets intro) is the bridge in I Fall Down. There's a moment when everything stops and it's just Edge and Larry on high-hats, then everything slowly comes in with Bono and piano. Just so fuckin' great.
