Different Live Versions of LIB and BTBS

Originally posted by MWSAH:Speaking of BTBS, the one from Rotterdam'92 is slightly different too, and extended. Just great..

Originally posted by djrlewis:The definitive versions of these 2 songs, in my opinion,are on the Stay single.

For Elevation Bullet, either the Boston version for the Mark Chapman version or a post 9/11 NY show

I agree that the Dublin BTBS from the Stay single IS good, but I'd still say the versions from Paris or Dortmund '92 beat it. That said, I'm biased lol.

Paris, OK, yes I agree that beats Dublin. But Dortmund? Not so sure about that one..

The solo dear boy, the solo. I mean, the song itself is performed pretty damned well, but Edge pulls off one hell of a solo (and this is going by ZooTV standards). It was my favourite BTBS until I got hold of the Paris gig...

Originally posted by easports43:OK, if we're basing it purely on the solo, I'm forced to agree. But overall performance-wise, it's certainly not the "best". All about personal preference though...

Well, for me, a lot of post-JT BTBSs are about the solo, but that's the guitar player in me getting the better of common sense lol. I have to say, the Wembley shows do rock my socks, with Bono's rants and what have you. A lot of it is also about the guitar part vs. Bono's vocals, hence why I'm not too keen on a lot of Elevation and Vertigo versions - just palm muting Wah-Wah as opposed to the little riffs that Edge played during ZooTV and PopMart renditions, I think there's only one winner.

That said, I watched Slane again today, that is a good performance as is the Boston DVD, but they're nothing more than good in my opinion. JT and LT, they were sticking with the album format, but if you're gonna develop the song into a bit more of a gritty live entity, it needs a bit more than an alternative solo in my view...

Can you do that for every song?
