For me, the stand-out tracks are: Bad, Zooropa, One Tree Hill, Unforgettable Fire and With or Without You. WOWY surprised me...I thought overall it was kind of lame on 360, but this version has some great sound...I just wish they had extended the outro a little bit more! Bad and Zooropa are just fabulous. I LOVE the AIWY snippet in Bad and the questions and bass in Zooropa.
The disappointments are all relative, but I'm not nearly as impressed with UTEOTW as I expected to be. I absolutely love the track and loved it every time I saw it on 360 - but this version with the Sinatra voice/snippet just doesn't work for me. I also think the version of MOS on WAIE is much superior to this one (even with the hokey vocal enhancement on that version). Streets is just OK here...this version doesn't seem to capture the awesome energy that is Streets as well as others and I definitely miss the segue/snippets leading into it.
Overall though, no real complaints. Just a great collection.
Keeping my fingers crossed we get the non-CD tracks as a Holiday download or something....
The surprise before MoS didn't have any influence at all in your opinion?
That alone was enough to convince me that it was the best performance of the song in the entire tour.
