Agreed - they had such difficulty recording it for a reason - getting the time down correctly was a huge issue and it's hardly to see how they could suddenly have no problems playing it live/
The album version is something else entirely to any live version I've heard - Chicago, Boston etc simply cannot compare to the nuance and metronomic drive of the album version - plus, without a doubt Bono has his best vocal form on the studio recording.
