    I respectfully disagree with you. The Unforgettable Fire play live is amazing.

    Not a bit. I love it live, but the extra rhythm guitar, along with Larry's perfect drumming, and Bono's voice being in top form make it a lot better for me. Bring back the red screens on the next tour and maybe I'll change my tune...

  10. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock big time. Studio version is a bit boring, live is amazing. Although the new remaster is better, it still doesn't have the same feel as live.
  11. In fact it is easier to list the ones that don't sound better live.

    I see why you disagree... it's a cool live song (the guitar is great), but the album version of TUF is one of my all-time-favorite songs, and I just don't think that they've even been able to measure up to having Slane Castle's chambers in the background.
