  2. Definitely 360° - it's the only tour that reminds big 1990's tours.... and because of the album.Much better than previous two
  3. I'm gonna be biased and say U2360, since it's the only one I've seen in person.

    Elevation looks good from what I've seen/heard, though.
  4. Elevation.

    Didn't the band think that this would be their last tour? The first two legs featured what seems to be the best version of the Fly, and many other great songs. Probably the most emotional tour as well. I would like to argue that when music is backed by personal emotion, it adds so much more to a performance. It's those kind of shows that to me, are really something.

    To my critics, you can argue that I was never really a huge fan of the Vertigo Tour. Great tour, great sets, but Bono's vocals just never did it for me. As for 360, I feel the same way, the only difference between the two being that Bono's vocals got raspier.
  5. 360° Tour. The bigger the better + U2360 has Ultra Violet which is absolutely epic. It wouldn't have worked on Elevation or Vertigo, it just wouldn't have fitted there and Bono wouldn't have been able to sing it back then.

    I like to think that if UV was played on Elevation instead of MW towards the end of some shows, the setlists would be amazing:

    Bad->Streets->UV->The Fly

    As for Bono being able to sing it, you never know.
  7. Show: 360° the Spaceship is great.

    Music: Elevation Tour. The Fly (best played ever!), Kite, All I Want Is You, my favorite songs.
  8. Bono's hair means Vertigo can't win. Elevation was far from a 'world' tour so maybe can't win. 360 is still young. I'm gonna sit on the fence for this one.
  10. Stage wise : 360
    Setlist wise: Vertigo/360
    Emotional wise: Elevation
    Epicness wise: Elevation
    Performance wise: Elevation and 360
    Bonos worst voice: Vertigo

    Doubting between Elevation and 360, didnt really like Vertigo, feels a bit indulgent.
  11. Though question
    Elevation had the awesome performances, great Bono voice and the emotion. It lacks on a really awesome stage and a world wide appearance.

    Vertigo definitely had the setlists and the diversity, not only in the setlist, but also in the stage. Can't really name any big downsides, altough the political set was a tad too much at times and it misses some epicness sometimes (I miss Ultraviolet, TUF or something like Gone or Last Night On Earth). Oh, and they fucked up UTEOTW.

    And 360 has the stage, solid performances and brilliant album guiding it. However, for now, it lacks on setlist changes and a bit of pure rock n roll (we have Vertigo, Elevation and UTEOTW, but where are The Fly, BTBS, I Will Follow and Even Better Than The Real Thing?)

    For now I'd choose Vertigo, but 360 and Elevation both come very close.
  12. I'm going for 360 just based on the better album/setlists/and scale of the shows. However Elevation is close behind for the emotion in alot of those shows, my biggest gripe with elevation was that the setlists were too short
