    Vertigo

    Almost in chronological order but I have to go with my own personal experiences and I was just very young for vertigo and elevation, I’ve put elevation ahead of vertigo though because of Setlist choices. Plus Hampden Park really isn’t a great place for a gig.
  2. 360
    I&E
    E&I (Stay, Wild Horses and Acrobat but 2015 was a better overall show)

    just a question... Why lovetown and zootv are out of top 3?
    For me are probably the best U2 live show...
  5. For me

    Elevation

    E+I but only after Copenaghen
    Joshua 19 and 17
    I+e

    360

    Vertigo

  6. Zoo-Tv has taken on almost mythical status but I had to rate it on how it felt at the time, which was a little underwhelming. Bear in mind that many of the songs we take for granted now like UTEOTW, Stay and LIB were relatively unknown at that time, plus the set list included three covers (Unchained Melody, Satellite of Love and Can't Help Falling in Love) and Numb. Even as a long-term U2 fan, I found the song choices eclectic.

    LoveTown, to be honest is the tour where I have the least memories. I was at the show affected by the bomb scare and recall them starting with Hawkmoon but much of the two shows I saw is is a blank. I downloaded a recording the other night, so maybe it will stir something in the deeper recesses of my brain.

    The other thing I'd say too is that this list is comparable to a photo finish for a 100m sprint race. There are literally 100ths of a second separating 1st from 8th.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one in this thread who saw the band in the previous century. Was starting to feel old.
