We need to get together and watch complete performances, which we never do anymore. Maybe just set aside a Saturday and get rip roarin’ drunk. A few that immediately come to mind...
Zoo TV Sydney
PopMart Mexico City
Pink Floyd PULSE
Roger Waters In the Flesh
Pearl Jam [your choice]
Somehow I missed this post earlier. My answer is yes, god, yes. All of the above.

One of my favorites from an album full of favorites.

I was just going to post this, you fucker! Live Aid and Wide Awake in America may be the more iconic (I hate the misapplication and overuse of that word) versions of the song, but the one from Rattle and Hum is totally chub-inducing.
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
Yeah, man. This one is the best I’ve seen. Tip tops.

And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
So damn good.

Discotheque from Pop Mart is excess incarnate. And it’s marvelous.
You just cant get enough of that lovey-dovey stuff...
You want heaven in your heart
But you’ll take what you can get
Because it’s all that you can find
And there’s something more
But tonight...

Fuck me, I’m treating this Sunday night like Saturday night. Midnight is where the day begins.
Said I, I gotta do something about where I’m going.
... Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.
I’m still running.
SHOMER SHABBOS!

Babe it must be art,
You're a headache, in a suitcase
You're a star.

As great as that performance is, and it’s great, ZooTV Sydney is so absolutely perfect it can’t be touched. Hallelujah..

By the way, I found out during this tournament I have a peculiar opinion. I’m mostly underwhelmed by Stay. I mean, it’s a bit above average, but I think U2 has DOZENS of better songs. Anyway, I thought that was mildly interesting, but not entirely surprising.
