Originally posted by WideAwakeBadBoy:For me, the solo on the Vertigo Tour was perhaps the most powerful - a much more stripped-back, simple, clean guitar sound juxtaposed with the anger and passion of the lyrics and the enormity of the stage (especially the outdoor legs) and to an extent, with the enormity of the band themselves... perhaps the sinplicity is the sound of a broken man disparing at the situation portrayed in the lyrics.... so much emotion is conveyed through such a simple sound... it's beautiful and tragic and disparing and angry all at the same time.... not to take anything away from the proper rock out versions, I think Slane is probably my favourite single performance, but the tours are so unique, they're so hard to judge against each other (apart from TJT30 - fairly uninspired but still glad to have seen it)
Bullet was a step backwards as far as energy and arrangement.
My personal favorite was the 2015 arrangement; reimagined it and was a highlight of a very good tour.
