You guys are kidding right? The IE & EI versions of SBS were probably the worst arrangements of the song ever.

Both Popmart and I&E/E&I versions of SBS are so bad that I wouldn’t even waste my time choosing.

No, that would be Edge's Lullaby version on the Popmart tour.

Both have their place. I’d have taken Popmart SBS over the karaoke nonsense they tried. It suited Sarajevo then the rip into Bullet. Good theatre.
Similar to 2015. Good stagecraft and the stripped back arrangement meant that the new song was able to punch hard rather than following a full blooded SBS (a song that was sounding very tired after Vertigo and 360).

What you call the "lullaby" version was one of the most brilliant and radical reinventions of a U2 song ever imho.
