  1. Hey guyz, dunno if somebody did already put up this topic in the past, but still...

    What is your favourite version of the Beautiful Day?
    Please name the shows and why!

    Personally I like BD when it has some cool snippets in the end (like Searge. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band etc)
    I like performances: Saitama last night, Vertigo Munich, Brazil, Live 8 and probably some others I dont remember...
  2. Saitama 12-04-2006 is the best for me, with the Presence of the Lord snippet (Eric Clapton). Just awesome...love all Vertigo-BD's, by the way. Bono improvises a lot before singing 'See the bird with a leaf in her mouth'. And the end is always chilling..

    Also a mention for Melbourne 11-18-2006, with Bono singing: 'I remember standing on stage with Paul McCartney, Live 8, standing on stage with Paul McFuckingCartney, now fill that....The Sergeant Peppers..etc' Just brilliant...

    Elevation was quite good too, but not that special compared with Vertigo.
  3. 2006-11-29 - Saitama. Listen to how long Bono holds 'toouucchh meee'. Immense

    Also worth a mention are 2001-10-24/25
  4. I love the Live8 performance. Fucking brilliat. Also Saitama 11-29, as Gerard pointed, is really good (that month Bono got his voice back after almost 10 years! )
  5. 2006-02-20 Sao Paulo for me!

  6. Elevation was quite good too, but not that special compared with Vertigo.


    ehhh. Cant agree with that

    Elevation had more "touch me's" and each chorus he changed it up. Sometimes he said touch me twice and sometimes he said it 3 times. Boston is an example. Also, the end with the goal is soul. soo much energy and emotion there. You can tell in Bono's voice. Gives me chills every performance I hear!! Vertigo is good however. More snippets but less power!

    Agree with you here friend
  8. You're right about the soul part Jordan, but I like the way Bono uses the snippets during Vertigo.
  9. theres a lot more 'body' to the sound of the Elevation performances. Even on average recordings you can still gauge the power of those chord's from Edge but on any average Vertigo recording the song lacks any real depth. Love that first Saitama performance though
  10. None. Can't stand this song. Ugghh






    But if you must then Slane, Saitama 1 and Live 8
  11. Live 8's performance is awesome. I also like the Montreal 2006 version,.
