During Popmart they really changed the way they played their warhorses, some times that didn't really work out (WOWY) but with IWF they did a great, great job imo.

I like it too, especially the segue from Mofo.

GET LOST LOL. Popmart was the last best concert U2 have put on.

I have a suspicion you never went to a Popmart show. If so...you would know quite well that Streets was AMAZING. The reprise/extended end with "then there will be no time for sorrow" and the dove was just fantastic.
Back on topic - am in total agreement and shock that they are yet again going back to the same albums that have been getting heavy rotation the past few tours. For gods sake, give ATYCLB a rest...that album has taken up space for 15 years now. No Zooropa or Pop offerings is criminal.

I was 6 years old during Popmart, so you would be correct.
But I have listened to several Popmart bootlegs and if I am to compare the performances of warhorses during Pop with performances during all the other tours, I'd still say that Pop had the weakest performances of those warhorses.
And no, Popmart was definitely not the best of live U2. Pretty much every other tour outclasses Popmart, in my opinion.
