It's one of the best 360 versions for sure, but it's still a bit too strained and shouty to be on par with any 92 or 93 versions - he played in a different vocal league back then, that's a fact. And also, although this is a bit more subjective, I think Bono really FELT the song in 92-93 but not anymore in recent days, like Mike said yesterday: [..]
YET it was absolutely incredible to witness the resurrection of the song in Barceona 2009. Still one of my life highlights

The 93 version he did as MacPhisto was atrocious hated the way he sang it sounded like some old English devil 😈🤣

Well that was the whole point of Macphisto wasn't it? But yeah I agree, the Macphisto manners/accent kinda messed WOWY and Ultraviolet up.

Wait, Bono brought back "all fucked up" on the JT shows?? I didn't know this...anyone have specific shows to point me to?
Originally posted by deanallison:I like all the versions of the song, well arrangements anyway I’ve not heard every single version. I agree with what I’ve read a few comments back about the way Bono sometimes sang it on zoo tv, I didn’t like it as much in character but it wasn’t always too empathic with the accent and it was still great anyway but 360 was my favourite. They absolutely nailed it and it was a perfect encore opener. I do think the JT17/19 versions are underrated though, still great for me. Not quite as great as 360 but I’d probably still rank it alongside zoo tv because of Edge’s guitar work. It’s like comparing a Rolls Royce with a Ferrari with a Range Rover, all great in different ways.

ANY Uv from Zoo TV is better than any other version, 2009-11 is great but it doesn’t compare to me. Even as Macphisto I loved it, way more emotional/drunk
