I loved and enjoyed it to the max in IE (I didn't catch it during 360 either, I'm just judging from videos and bootlegs) but I reckon it didn't sound great even back then. And yeah everything that means less Edge is a crime!

That's funny I'm in the opposite camp, EBTTRT only sounded good in 2011 esp the US leg after the first few shows they really got it down.
Acrobat is the highlight of 2018 IMO

I was specifically talking about Edge and his whammy tone. Even Better kicks ass EVERY SINGLE TIME no matter what But since it's a song 100% built around Edge's guitar tone and effects, if that part isn't totally nailed it just doesn't have the same effect.

Ahhh I see! You're right it all depends on Edge for that song definitely. The guitar and whammy sounds really good to me in 2011 and 2015. The 2018 sound is a little thin to me (?). I think in 2018 Zoo Station, The Fly and Even Better sound a little thin guitar wise I don't know what it is. I feel like it's missing that OOMPH that it usually has am I wrong? lol

Originally posted by RememberEveryMoment:Anyone has a theory on why they played The Fly the way they played it? It was so strong on Vertigo and at the time Bono stated that they rerecorded the song (as advised by Bowie) and that they finally got it right...only to play it differently in 2011 and 2018?

What do you mean? I thought the 2018 version was pretty close to the studio version, maybe the closest they've ever played it – even more than on Zoo TV because there Bono's guitar was too prominent in the mix (and that was really good, but strayed from the album sound).

Yes, but in 2005 Bono stated that the Vertigo tour version was how the song was supposed to be played. The 2018 version heavily relied on pre-recorded stuff. It's not bad, but I prefer the Vertigo Tour version.
