[zerodood]

"I'm delighted that everyone likes this so much but I'm not going to send anyone the mp3. Sorry and all that but I respect U2 too much to give their music away willy nilly."

HAHA what!? do you have any idea how filthy rich they are? i doubt they couldn't give any less of a fuck if you gave us the mp3. so stop brown-nosing and send it to us. :p

[sandysnowbeard]

@zerodood you know you can just rip the file off youtube? Use "youtube-dl" and linux (/OSX), or get someone who knows linux to do it for you.

[mrska1]

PuKKa

[Deeprockful]

are there the lyrics of this version?

[jgbledt]

Man if you knew about recording, you should understand that anyone can record this song using de audio mixer of Windows by only pressing play in this video... good video and good music, but please.... stop being so selfish... I think that U2 don´t care about sharing their songs ´cause they are giants...

[knobby2708]

They obviously stole it from here you dumbass

[ZedLep75]

@knobby2708 no u

[discohype]

hi, yes , the cd you got has the song, but the bootleger has taken it from this youtube video... and put it onto cd...

[wouterkaas]

He uploaded this in 2006. 'rareish u2 remix cd's' are being compiled with every minute.

[platinumdvd]

[sirjuanje]

el tema es bueno en las dos versiones. la grandeza la pone U2. y sea como sea la cosa

[ca805to]

This version is with out a doubt the best one. They should definitley put this out. Would love to hear this live in concert. Thanks for the vid.

[gibsonvox]

cute, and yes the 80s version is better.

[MitchD100]

Hey thanks for sharing this, it is very much appreciated by this long time U2 fan!

[U2Lozza]

Thanks so much for this Jem. Its beautiful & definitely my favourite version of this song. I wish they would release it so I could listen to it anywhere & everywhere! And I wish I could hear the rest of your recordings too. They would be very special to have for sure. :-)

[Rhonda37138]

What a sweet version of this song! Great video! THANKS

[huiohana5]

Thanks for your work. This is one of my fav's of U2. When I heard it again on Mr Deed's, it brought back memories. Hang in there.

[colleenmariew]

Holy crap!! That is Bono!! Thanks for sharing!! You may be poor, but you got to work with U2 and hear that voice in person!! I can tell you it is much worse to be poor and not have had that experience!! ha! Thanks again and cute kittens!

[azt100]

Genious simply genious.

[Nintene777]

That was so awesome. I love that version more then the released one. Plus those cats were the sweetest thing ever. :)

[maureeses]

Fantastic!

[miracleK7]

Well this demo and the original B-side is better than the re-recording...and there's no Boyzone in sight.

[mesexymom]

This is my absolute fav song of u2's and it just got better by listening to this!!! Awesome..well done!!!

[Ga7atTown]

OMG... they are the sweetest thing :)

[afleetingglimpse]

Excellent

[ecurrin]

well done knobby2708 for posting this.. respect!! but yeah its true what you say life is shit then you die ;)

[knobby2708]

it's just what I did. I'm very proud to have helped all of my musical friends.Bono made me take a cassette of this before I left, I love him for that. I thought that this little snippet of my life means something and it looks like over 12 thousand of you lovely people agree.

Jem Tinkywinky Dipsey Lala and Po.

[knobby2708]

I'm delighted that everyone likes this so much but I'm not going to send anyone the mp3. Sorry and all that but I respect U2 too much to give their music away willy nilly. They are the band that I met and I just got on with my job, I hooked up the console and tape machine wired up Brians Neve rack hung out and got really drunk with Pat Mcarthy and split to go on tour with iron maiden,

[agusr29]

i love this song, may i ask where can i have the audio, please tell me,it is fantastic, and THAT`s HIS voice!!

[AchtungBabypt]

[501W]

this song is so good...it's a shame it was not included on any album.

[stillrocknroll2me]

i love bono's voice. hope you're doing better financially now. the kitens are cute, by the way. thanks for posting this!

[mangakain]

Nice song!

It was unknown for me.

[regislaingou]

yo, great document, Bono is so generous ! But what Larry takes ? Valium ?

[spyke16]

thanks alot for uploading this, its refreshing to hear bono's voice so soulful. Again as with everyone above, id love an MP3 of this song to listen to on my U2 ipod...many thanks again.

[byronbee]

[nitch003]

so much better than the final version!

[camus26]

[thurmanmunsonlives]

Thanks very much for posting this. I bumped into a video of an airplane landing in Tokyo to the cover of this song, and this was right below it. Outstanding!

[lintinthelaundry]

Wow. That's cool!

[ctti]

Hey, this is really nice. And the kittens are very cute too, of course. Mp3?

[Heag86]

Es la mejor version de esta cancion con mas sentimiento de U2

[joeymac4785]

is there any way i could get an mp3 of this? im makin some mix cds for my friend and she loves this song.

[queensizetwinair]

Jem,

I remember when you pulled this out on cassette at the studio in Chicago and we put it into Pro Tools. We had to edit out the "missing" section that must have gotten recorded over. I still have the Pro Tools files and also have the Brian Eno stuff. Let me know if you would like me to send it to you. Hope all is well with you and Robin. Cheers!

When do I get to see some Audio Juice in the U.S.?

[theedge76]

its obious its Bono,like,just listen to any other song from the joshua tree,or even rattle and hum,theres no differnce really.And he changes his voice like that all the time,well b4 he started smoking,tahts why he is so quiet singin today,and i can easly tell his voice in taht era,ITS REALLY HIM!!!

[knobby2708]

it looked like hime at the time, and the rest of the band looked like themselves. I was in rathfarnham and I went to NotUs Ltd which is their company. But perhaps I was mistaken. I should throw the rest of the recordings in the bin as obviously evyone thinks I'm a liar. Ho hum

[thechad38]

i think this is awesome! can you hook me up with the mp3 of this?

[Crazycupmuffin]

@knobby2708 man you are so lucky thank you for sharing with the real fans :)

[AcoU2sticMike]

P.S. It's definetly Bono. Amazing.

[AcoU2sticMike]

This is so cool. Thanks for posting.

[becky5]

Definately Bono. I would know that voice anywhere especially after hearing him in person. (meeting him)

[PaulaVesala]

ohhh they're sooo sweet

[Popmart]

Awesome!

[nuke126]

anyway you can post the mp3 of it?

[monicaxx1980]

very cool, very SWEET. Thank you Jem!!

[monicaxx1980]

very nice! very sweet!!

[AdriSoulLove]

Que coisa mais maravilhosa! Que lindo Bono! Gostei demais dessa versão!(OS GATINHOS DÃO TODO O CHARME)

[zeoyne]

Could I please get an audio file as well? I really love this version! It's so charming...

[Dalkey]

Yeah, it's Bono allright. There's not a question about it. I've been listening to U2 for the better part of my whole life so I guess I should recognize Bono's voice. This one has more soul than the official version. I really do like it!

[tadnyc1]

sounds great.  can I get an audio file??

[itzacu]

sammyvideo, I don't think you're a die-hard U2 fan. You should recognize bono's voice from the joshua tree era, it's unique :drools:

[TheInformation]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing. Great video.

[digsydi]

if thats someone doing Bonos voice then its the best damn impersonation i've ever heard!!

sounds just like Bono to me, especially considering the era

very cool clip, you're lucky to have it knobby2708

[shkee23]

Come on, sammyvideo...this is obviously the real Bono. No one can impersonate Bono's voice exactly...it's too unique.

[u2boynl]

You're a die-hard U2 and you can't even recognize Bono's voice?

[u2boynl]

Thanks, this is great!

So, did you record any more songs? ;)

[knobby2708]

If you look on your Jushua tree sleeve notes you'll see that part of this album was recorded on Edges Amek mixing console. I was the Amek engineer sent to Rathfarnham to set up the gear. So it's real and I'm not trying to fool anybody.

[partygirlvox]

This is a really cute video!

[shkee23]

Wow, very cool. Can you send me the file possibly?
