You cannot find Whiskey in the Jar on any officially released live album.  U2 has sung the song in one form or another (not sure if they've ever done a complete rendition, and all the recordings that I've heard have been shortened karaoke versions) 11 times live in concert; you can see the list of shows here:

Many thanks - real shame.  I think it was the 1986 Dublin RDS live show encore version that I heard...which sounded great... albeit the crowd doing the singing. Back to the Thin Lizzy version I guess.  Thanks again.
