* How about a plane landing right below them while they're playing in the "Beautiful Day" music video? Still one of the most impressive shots in a music video, 21 years later.

* Halftime at UsefulNotes/SuperBowl XXXVI. Being the first Super Bowl to take place after 9/11, it featured a memorial to those lost on that day, with Music/{{U2}} singing "MLK" and "Where The Streets Have No Name" while the list of names scrolled upwards against a stark black background. The capper occurred right as Bono sang the final chorus of "and when I go there, I go there with you..." -- revealing a US Flag sewn into the lining of his jacket, pictured here. As if to say, "It's all right, America. We got your back."

* The pantomimed heroin hit in Music/{{U2}}'s live version of "Running To Stand Still" in their concert film: "Zoo TV Live From Sydney" could be considered a little {{Narm}} - ish, but it's also rather chilling and sums up the whole point and awesomeness of Zoo TV in a few minutes of theatricality. Also, the entire Red Rocks show that marked their change from post-punk nobodies to world eating megastars could be considered the Crowning Moment of their career.

* Whenever a soft song suddenly cuts into the Edge beginning the guitar riff to kick off "Where The Streets Have No Name," a live crowd goes insane. Better is how as the song kicks up, the lights of the stadium will often light up enough to be seen for miles.

** The performance was so memorable that, for a time, U2 didn't play Sunday Bloody Sunday live for ''several years,'' because Bono didn't think that he could ever top that.

* U2 360 Tour has one special moment. The concert at Stadion Śląski in Chorzów, Poland was Music/{{U2}}'s first performance in Poland. During [[https://youtu.be/x-QqjhwARao "New Year's Day"]] (the song dedicated to ''Solidarność''), the whole stadium turned white and red (as Polish national flag). It is one of the most emotional U2 moments ever.
