I love the no line on the horizon busker version the guys performed in Helsinky (21-08-2010)

DIsappoined they did not play it on the rest of the last tour leg

What does everyone think of that version?

As Gerard said, it needs a really into-it crowd. That version in Milan, or Sao Paulo, etc. would be a killer. But... not so much in Helsinki. I think they realised it didn't work, and that's why they haven't played it since. But maybe it reappears in the Australia/NZ leg, or in the South American one when it takes place... Hope dies last

I agree, it was a welcome change for the song (not that theres anything wrong with full band) and would love to see it played again.

I was there in Helsinki and loved witnessing it from frontrow at catwalk

I think I have a picture of them during that song, not sure though.

Bono reaction when they fucked up (a little bit)

You can find the best bits of the performance (well, the funny parts) somewhere in this video:

GREAT photo!
He's making a C chord, so it's during the start of the chorus: "NO, no line on the horizon". Right there
