eh hang on a second fallenangel2021 and sarahmcmitch..... first of all the edge was born and raised in dublin, both of his parents i think are welsh but that does not make him welsh.... and adam clayton, perhaps was born in england but has irish parents and moved over to ireland at a young age so all of u2 are irish!
If u asked them they certainly never fucking say they were from britain! They're proudly irish!
The Edge is Welsh. He said so at this concert and explained that it was part of the reason the band decided to wind the tour up in Cardiff. Adam Clayton is also not Irish, but an Englishman, but what does it matter?? Great band, great songs and this was a great live show at Cardiff last year. Really hope they return to the UK and Ireland again this summer :-)
If u notice at 4:52 Larry gets the beat wrong he thinks that they are still building up but the rest of the band goes right into the ohhhhh part. You see bono turn around and smile at Larry. Still a great performance. Best performance of this song was rattle and hum or popmart mexico city
Rattle & Hum film version was great too. Its nice to see that the band are human & do have mistakes, it was funny to see Bono turn around & give a smile to Larry.
For the first time in my life i'm a bit mad at Bono...
When youre at the concert you are so busy singing along that you hardly notice how he sings,but these videos show him up a bit.Lets face it - the crowd sing this with more passion not to mention tunefulness than my lifelong hero does.Still the best live band in the world but please Bono sing it properly or not at all.
I think you might have a point there...I know his voice has changed since he first sang this song and maybe he can't hit all the notes, but he sounds pretty bored singing it at the start...
If he put as much into WOWY as he does with 'Breathe', or 'No line on the horizon' we would be laughing.
I hate to be down on him,but its a fact that with the older songs he just doesnt seem to care....maybe if I had sung WOWY or streets 5000 times I would be the same though....
I think that's it, they're just bored of playing those songs that they have to do every night like WOWY and Pride...when they bring out songs they haven't played often like Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet you can tell they enjoy it more :)
When they come back next year they will hopefully do a totally different set list..you know,include songs that havent been played to death...ones that we will enjoy hearing and they enjoy playing!Songs that spring to mind-Acrobat,In gods country,Miracle drug,U2 have a huge back catologue...utilise it lads!
Totally agree! I would love to see Acrobat live! another for me is Seconds or Drowning Man from War....would be amazing. Thanks for that in-depth analysis blobbertopper...:\
On the Rattle and Hum tour this song was played as part of the big crescendo leading up to the encore. On this tour it is played in the encore and having been at the gig, it fitted the flow just right
You have to watch the version on Rattle and Hum to fully realize how bad this sucks. They really should stop playing it. There's no energy and Bono can't hit any of the notes anymore.
they playe dthere hearts out, i was there from 630pm to get to front. wales was the badger, fuckin mint gig, but i do agree bono did seem to go bit friday nite with jules holland at times lol
i am a HUGE bono fan, but he's putting no effort into it. i feel like the mic hanging from the top distracts him and he doesnt sing parts. annoying to me, been like that the whole tour
I think that this is a crew or something like that... and they have been at every U2 gig recording it.. them they post it at the web and youtube... am I wrong?
Why oes Bono have 2 mics? :)
