    Wow,even I'm not that much of a U2 fan.
  3. Look at this, the timing could not have been better.

    This guy says it all:

    "I do feel I would be remiss if I didn't say a bit about the live version of this song. I can say unequivocally that there is no song by any artist that I want to see live more than "Lemon." Seeing the grandeur and energy of the song on the Zoo TV Sydney video gives me a craving like no other song. The flashing Technicolor lemons flashing over the screens, the lemonball karaoke, the blaring alarms at the start with Adam's rumbling bass warning you of what is coming, they all make such an astonishing visual and audio barrage that I literally can watch it again and again and again. And if they ever do decide to play it live again, I guarantee you I'll be the one screaming the loudest."

    Is indeed a great song, a real fan favorite, Hopefully Bono will keep his voice in order and play it again

    If he call pull off Lemon, he can do TUF, ASOH and UV also.

  6. You wouldn't need to use Lemon as a gauge for whether he could sing UV - UV isn't particularly challenging in comparison. Same for ASOH, although the key there is Bono remembering the bloody lyrics lol, much as withUV returning; as we all know, the only thing on a musical level preventing its return is Edge's apparent amnesia lol.

    What's this apparent amnesia? Yeah Bono's memory isn't one of his strong points... Would love to see Ultra Violet live again, though it probably won't be better than the ZooTV performances, which IMO are as good as you're going to get. However Lemon live could be improved, ie after the second chorus the song isn't very interesting as Bono struts around the stage, looking into the cameras and such.

  8. According to U2 by U2, Edge can't remember how to play Ultra Violet or get the sound for his guitar, or something random like that...unhelpful for us fans who'd love a return of a fine song to the live stage...

    Surely he jests... how can you forget how to play a song, with the amount of recorded material as well, he can just watch himself play on youtube or something. There's people on youtube doing electric versions of Ultra Violet, if they can do it the Edge can
  10. We have plenty of topics to discuss live tracks, what we want to hear etc.

    Either get back to Lemon please, or we'll close this one up.
  11. Lemon Adelaide is probably slightly better than Sydney, but not by a lot, and the sound quality of the Sydney bootleg (or DVD rip) is much higher quality than the soundboard that we have of Adelaide, so I prefer listening to it.

    I haven't heard any others.
