I agree that it hasn't been equally effective on every tour, but when it was effective (ZooTV and Elevation in particular) it just blew the roof off whatever arena they were playing it in. I agree that the noisy, Bono/Edge outro performance from the Elevation tour is awesome!
The intro with Bono's distorted voice and the drums is goose-bump inducing! It was one of the first songs I latched onto when Achtung Baby was new. I loved hearing an aggressive guitar riff like that in a U2 song (same with "The Fly") and the heavy distortion/feedback outro. It also has a great Edge solo! There's so much to like about this song, and I didn't even mention the cool lyrics! I could go on and on.

I think it's one of those songs that seeing it live and being engulfed in it as opposed to hearing (or seeing a video clip) a live recording from Zoo TV is a totally different animal...
