I totally agree. I really wish there were a high quality version out there because The First Time "snippet" (I use quote because it's essentially the song in its entirety) is magical. Bono's vocals are spot on and Edge's additions are amazing.
However, I have to disagree with the Elevation tour versions feeling dead. Bad/40 and Bad/WGRYWH were equally magical.
I don't hate the Elevation tour versions, I just never listen to them for Bono's vocals, I listen to them for the amazing snippets he does (like the ones you just stated) and the transition into Streets <3 but on raw vocal takes, it's not high on my list imo. Doesn't mean its not great ahaha
