And right now I'm watching Elbow's 2017 Glastonbury set. It's not cool, it's not my favourite but it's always a moment...

 

Awesome, but I still prefer their performance of it in 2008 - the first time I took my daughter to Glasto - other stage, hot day, sun setting behind us, massive singalong. It was clear they'd gone from 'cult band' to 'big band'. After it finished, my daughter turned to me and said "I think I've just had my first Glastonbury moment". Great times!

There ya go. Absolute beauty of a song. First heard it on some late night radio show, which was broadcasting a PJ gig a few months before Vitalogy came out. Remember thinking it was pretty much the perfect song at the time.

You may be on to something.  I saw them on the Love Town tour in Paris and they opened with Streets it was an incredible moment. This is from Rattle and Hum but same era.

Also the version on the AYCLB tour when they went from Bad to 40 to Streets. Almost always guaranteed a moment, only exception was Glastonbury when something went wrong and it was a bit flat.

Having clicked on your links, I have just spent the last hour watching a variety of U2 clips on YouTube 😂

My Conclusion - yes it would be very hard for me to argue with you on Streets - absolutely epic live.

Did watch a bit of the Glastonbury gig though and there was def something missing and they completely ruined the intro to Streets which should just be left alone

I was quite lucky at the U2 Glasto gig. Right near front, peak drunk and so hemmed in by an enthusiastic crowd, I only found out it was lashing down when the gig ended! That smoothed over any rough edges there may have been. To this day my mate and I SWEAR they played Ultraviolet, though it didn't appear on setlists...I attribute that to the shortened version of the set that got broadcast at the time. Dunno if the full one ever got put up, but don't want to check and ruin the belief!! 🤣

Have you seen the recent acoustic Bono and Edge version of Sunday Bloody Sunday?

Nope but I'll have a look.

And they didn't play Ultraviolet at Glastonbury.
