The recording of 27-12 has a better live atmosphere comparing to 26-12. The setlist of the 26 is more surprising and the encore is way better. All along the watchtower of the 27th is great with snippets of like a hurricane.
Angel of Harlem should be played always with horns or not played. I like Angel of Harlem of the 26th with the Suspicious minds part. I hope once U2 played a full Suspicious minds.
I would like to say to U2, listen again to these recordings and play WOWY, Streets, One Tree hill, Running, ISHFWLF, like the way you did in those days.
And listening to the songs played with the BB King Band, consider seriously to add some extra musicians/background singers during the coming tour. Sophie and Clauda did a great job. Listen to their vocals during Love rescue me, Love Comes to town, She's a mystery to me.

Of course the Dirty Old Town and Hallelujah snippets, and the "still running, still running" extra verses add a special bit, but they've never managed to get it totally right in my opinion. Which is a shame. #offtopic
