Unless I missed it, I can't hear it. Have you got a timestamp?

I'll throw my own in, though:


"It's finally happened... we're shit!" - Bono

Their most amusing cover of Dancing Queen through Zoo TV.  :D

When the band starting playing Sweetest Thing and an old lady got up on stage and starting whacking Bono over the head with her handbag.

Lord, that would turn out embarrassing, huh? And that practically everyone in that arena, who had no clue who Aung San Suu Kyi was, did as Bono said... and, oops, all along it was a farce.

I was torn between finding that funny, and acute embarrassment

The Edge falling off stage at the end of ISHFWILF. I'm glad he was ok though.

I was at that show.  Did not even realize it happened until reading about it the next day.  I was near the stage, and no one in my area had any idea (at least I assume as no one was talking about it)

I thought it was funny that they thought Womanfish was worthy of performed live in front of other people unironically. Although that wasn't really a 'U2 concert'.
