UABRS / BEST: Best, Worst, Underrated
« on: April 05, 2024, 05:42:20 PM »
I wasn’t planning to do UABRS, but fuck it, let’s do it.

So you’re picking the best of the songs as they are performed on the album. And regardless of whether they are Red Rocks or not.

I have to say, having typed out the poll options, that is one monster of a track listing.

Almost can’t go wrong.

Landed on 11 O’Clock, but that was a very tough choice.

Gloria - monster
11 - monster
IWF - not a fave song but monster energy here
Party Girl - maybe technically a shit song but idc, turn it up
SBS - monster
Electric - monster
NYD - monster
40 - need kleenex

11 O’Clock. It would probably be my fav for the video too.

Not sure if I did it wrong, but I voted Electric Co. based on the vinyl LP that I owned back in the day, which had the complete performance (as opposed to the CD which was truncated) and the DVD (which is completely butchered).

But either way, it's a great performance and one of U2's best live staples from their early days of touring.

Exile, your vote is there 👍

That’s my number two.

Both of my top picks are thanks to a certain guy named Mr. The Edge.

“Hey, I thought laoghaire swore off U2, but she seems awfully enthused about UABRS for some reason.”

“Yeah, didn’t she sing a few verses of I’ve Got No Fucks Left to Give to comemorate her being completely done? Looks like she found one last fuck somewhere.”

You know, before reading this post, I’m thinking WTF?

I’m very concerned. 😟

Didn’t vote SBS on the WAR thread.

But here it’s gets my vote. Powerful performance and career defining moment.

I recently bought an early copy of the CD just to get the full version.

Hard to believe this (mini) album remains the only proper live album in U2’s discography.

Of course I’m not counting video releases, fan club releases and what’s included in box sets.
