    Drives me bananas when they take out songs this way (ahem, Bad and UF on upcoming JT live CD).
  2. I don't think having the 8345th live version of Pride would actually add anything good to the Boston DVD... Agree about Bad and TUF, though, both were essential parts of the '87 Joshua Tree Tour setlist (and both arguably peaked during that tour and Lovetown) and taking them out of the NY concert is criminal.
  3. That Edge solo in The Fly at Boston 2001 is so... breathtaking, imo it's that good its hard to describe it haha.
  4. I just watched this yesterday.
  5. Yeah the solo is off the rails - I love the "stockier" tone he gets out of the solo by playing it with a Les Paul instead of a Strat. Obviously the effects have something to do with it too, but the tone on that performance is just killer.
  6. Always been a fan of this version, played a little higher in pitch compared to off the album/live versions before and afterwards!
  7. This is absolutely the best version of them all! Performance also....bono running like a mad man.....
  8. This was the version that got me hooked on U2, made The Fly become my favourite ever song. Watched this on repeat, would put in the DVD just to watch it.
  9. Can't argue with all the opinions saying The Fly was effing brilliant on the Elevation Tour. The only thing that bothers me is the repeated "gotta go, gotta go, gotta go" at the end. It's like, shut up, we've already noticed you gotta go!! Otherwise, what a version. I wish they had continued playing it like that. Quite easily the biggest and best transformation of a song from its studio version to the live renditions.

    Yes... and The Edge still say they learnt the song right on Vertigo tour
  11. Oh that bothers me so much. . .

    The Vertigo version's fine but I much prefer Elevation and the original ZooTV
  12. Gotta agree with you on this one.
