  1. What is the worst song from each U2 tour
  2. Are we looking at the worst song played throughout the tour? Some songs have had different versions played (full band/acoustic) as the band try and find the right place in the set list before being dropped altogether!

    Or do you mean the worst performance of a song in the whole tour. E.g. Staring at the Sun for PopMart in Las Vegas where they had to stop the whole song and start again?
  3. i mean the worst song throughout each tour
  4. With Or Without You or Sometimes on Vertigo.
    Stuck In A Moment for Elevation
    Popmart - Gloria maybe? (apart from a few early outtings the boy had the regular set nailed)
    Satellite of Love on Zoo.
    Streets during Lovetowm (terrible guitar sound).

    Thats all for now . . .

    I liked Satellite of Love, was one of my favourite parts of the Sydney show, with his falsetto and all. And I didn't think Stuck In A Moment was that bad.

    This topic is a bit vague, are tour rarities included? (where Bono might forget lyrics), or are are only setlist regulars allowed? What about songs with poor performances on one night and stellar on the next? Or do they have to be consistently 'bad',

  6. Boy: Boy/Girl
    October: With a Shout, although still an improvement over the album version
    War: pretty hard, maybe I Fall Down
    TUF: another hard one, but I'm gonna say MLK
    TJT: a cover song, maybe Help or something, or Maggie's Farm
    Lovetown: Pride started to suck sometimes here
    Zoo TV: Satellite of Love, closely followed by When Love Comes to Town
    PopMart: throughout the tour If You Wear That Velvet Dress. Love the album version and first performance in Vegas, but other performances were pretty poor
    Elevation: many. Stuck in a Moment, IWF, Sweetest Thing to name a few
    Vertigo: With or Without You, Pride: boring. Also Bullet the Blue Sky and Mysterious Ways sucked in the way they were played.

    Besides all that, I can pretty much enjoy each tour
  7. Boy: I never really liked The Ocean...but to say they played it weak...
    October: None really...maybe The Ocean again? (I don't hate The ocean, it's just their least exciting pre-War song)
    War: they played everything pretty well...
    TUF: Wire is not cool live
    JT: ISHFWILF
    Lovetown: BTBS
    ZooTV: It was all pretty good...but I wasn't impressed by Numb live
    PopMart: Pride, Velvet Dress and One
    Elevation: Stuck In A Moment
    Vertigo: WOWY, All Because Of You
  8. Boy: The Ocean
    October: Fire
    War: The Ocean
    The Unforgettable Fire: None
    Conspiracy of Hope: None
    The Joshua Tree: October
    Lovetown: Love Rescue Me
    Zoo TV: Satellite of Love
    POPmart: Pride (In The Name of Love)
    Elevation: Please
    Vertigo: One

    Certainly, there are worse on each tour, but not regulars, or one-leg appearances.
  9. we should stick to tour regulars and not one offs etc


  11. Really? I find the ZooTV-ISHFWILF's the only listenable version...
  12. Boy: The Ocean
    October: Can't think of one
    War: The Ocean
    The Unforgettable Fire: None
    The Joshua Tree: Bullet The Blue Sky (could have been a lot better)
    Lovetown: Streets (could have been a lot better)
    Zoo TV: Difficult, but not Sattelite, that's for sure. I tend to New Year's Day, although I don't see any weak song at all during the whole tour
    POPmart: I Will Follow
    Elevation: Mysterious Ways
    Vertigo: With Or Without You although Streets wasn't that great at all.
