Thanks for all the info, folks. I did not know all this about this song. This is still my favourite U2 song. And the Joshua Tree still remains one of the greatest albums of all time. I have good memories of this song in Joshua National Park in Nevada of all places. Heh. Cheers.
One tree hill is now no tree hill thanks to the idiotic modern day Honi Heke. Wake up people to a world that is everyones not just those who think they deserve what they think belongs to them. The tree that stood was older than time and marked the love of a country. A country that is now being torn apart by greed. It was a living thing it was not a flag that marked ownership you moron. Yours regretably Bronson.
can i just say, as someone who lives in NZ and is a huge U2 fan, you have created not only a treat for the ears but the eyes aswell. LOVE the visuals you have included aswell. Top Notch!!!
@HolaDeco I agree with you... but sounds different. Now he's singing live much better than at the Achtung baby tour, he has improved the new technique, I still like it but not my favourite cup of tea anymore.
@fucksake7 He consciously (by choice) changed his singing style to a higher register for Achtung Baby and the Zoo TV Tour to be different, it was part of the band's reinvention. He first experienced major, ongoing vocal problems during the recording of Pop.
listen ik turned the moon over to the sun this morning ik ben er nog niet i feel weird ,strange ,i see you again when the stars fall from the sky i guess ik weet je komt niet nu dus dan zie ik je pas in heaven pause i,m,a,friend,
@djonwayne I got this Mp3 from u2start diot com. Its the best U2 fan bootleg site, and U2 doesn't mind people using it, actually they encourage it as long as you don't try to sell the stuff, haha. some of the concerts have been taken off the site since I have downloaded this and others because of copyrights (by the record companies). To search and download all you need to do is sign up with an email, don't worry there is no spam mail.
@djonwayne Yes U2start is the best. Great advice from TheGreatGizzo. I'm a very happy subscriber as well - it's free, just set up a user name and you have access to almost every U2 show recording that is in existence. Great friendly fan community as well.
Bono and U2. NZ needs you now. Please do a concert in NZ and for Christchurch. Please donate all proceeds and profit to those in the Christchurch region who are going through such difficult times. U2.You are NZers as you have that connection with our country. Our country needs you now.Kia Kaha to those we call Our NZers through out the world at this most tragic of events.There are many bands that come and go through NZ but it seems like U2 truly are NZers/Kiwis.
was there they played it in auckland, deaciated the song not only to Greg Carrol but also to the 29 coal miners we lost that week it was orrrrrrsum bro and am very happy that they don't play it to often. Sweet as bro!
I saw the posts about the Maori activists cutting down the tree on the hill. I've seen a picture of Greg Carroll, and frankly, he looks like he could be Maori. Someone educate me...
The reason why U2 dont play this so often is that they like this song to remain special as it has a special meaning to them and New Zealand. Gregs death still effects the band and will remain in their hearts.
@Siazo10 It's improvised. Not a snippet or anything like that, you'll be surprised to know. It's something like this: Where's the baby love Your love is a deception... Bittersweet love [unclear] ...for to change...the heart, my heart, my heart Whoa somebody...to entertain you! [?] Whoa somebody, whoa somebody (repeated) [This could possibly be Gaelic?] Whoa... Now yes she is...
One of their best ever live shows, the version of streets is just mindblowing, you can download this concert, 27 12 1989 Point Depot, at U2 Start.com. they have every concert from Boy to 360, i have now near cd quality copies of all the concerts ive been to plus loads of concerts spanning 30 years, a must for all U2 fans!!!!
@magsieboy As a serious U2 fan I'm glad this stuff is on youtube but as far as downloading everything in existence I start to wonder when its considered kosher & when not. I know when we play something someone else put on youtube its not downloading. We'r just watching something already on the web- not selling, filesharing, or distributing it. Out of respect for U2 I just never want to do anything theyd disagree with. If I'm able to purchase I do. Last I bought was JoshuaTree special box set. :)
@zenalaus Magsieboy: Of course I realize concert tickets & other purchases can be difficult in this economy, which can be sad for serious U2 fans. I'm one of those who can't just afford to go to a concert whenever I want to. But when I'm able to make a purchase (not often enough) I do. I just always hope that people who can afford to will support our favorite artists' efforts and remember the larger picture. Viva U2! : )
@magsieboy I replied earlier to u w/ a comment that starts w/ "As a serious U2 fan...". But after I made that reply I went looking 4 some info on it & found guidance on this stuff that u probably already had. 4 others, this is from u2faqs.com: "During 2001 several...comments were made by the band regarding...recording of their shows...they were fine w/ people recording their performances & trading them...They were opposed 2 people making money from those recordings." But u can't record openly.
I would like dedicate this song to my Grandmother Mary Columba Cassidy. Who passed away 10th Sep 1987 just as this album was playing on my stereo. U2 has been with me ever since. Thank you.
I live in New Zealand and this song was written after one of their New Zealand Tour members died in an accident in the 1980s. They dedicated the song to him and only normally play it live when they are in NZ. There have been some exceptions but basically that is why it is not usually heard at their concerts. One Tree Hill is a sacred hill in the middle of Auckland & it is such a special moment when they come back to sing it.
@bumbleandprincess Do u by any chance live in the area One Tree Hill or anywhere in or near Auckland? Is it true 'the tree' was cut down by vandals? Whats the deal with that? The article above here (under the video) says it was Maori "protesters." If so what were they protesting? & what exactly did they seem 2 think the tree had 2 do with their protest? Some enlightenment here Please. Help the world to understand. If u yourself dont know, can u please find out & report back to us? Please? :)
@zenalaus I live in Auckland. The tree was cut down by Maori activists to draw attention to supposed injustice's, mainly historic, dealt Maori by the New Zealand government. I guess it was targeted because it is a local landmark, and also, being a pine tree, not native. It was also attacked in 1994 on the anniversary of Maori declaration of independence in 1835, before they signed the treaty with England in 1840. The tree was planted around 1870. It still seems weird seeing the hill without it
@sleig Thank you so very much for answering my questions. I wonder if those Maori activists would be happy with a type of tree planted there that is native there. I'm sorry to hear if the Maori have any current-day injustices to deal with from the New Zealand government.
@guipinsan (Hi guipinsan. Just to correct my typo from a little while ago): If This isnt their best version, I sure havent heard the one that is. Bono's voice is hugely, tremendously extraordinary on this recording. In fact, even though U2 has been my all-time favorite band since 1983 (the War album), when I heard this recording right here on this youtube page, it struck me as Hugely extraordinary: I cannot EVER remember hearing Bonos voice be so incredible! 1 for the history books if u ask me!
@HolaDeco yes they sure did, I went to the concert last night in Auckland, Bono dedicated this song to Greg Carrol's family who where in the crowd! amazing to be there
i've heard a bootleg from new years eve ( actually they started at midnight) same tour, it's just a little more emotional, (if that is even possible) and it's even better than this, i swear bono was not even in his body, just transported to some other realm.
S Naylor - I agree, Heartland, a great track, going to tune into it now. I have a tape of this (live at Dublin's Point Depot) and it goes into "Gloria" if I recall right.
Best version? You may be right. Beautifully, tightly, powerfully played, and a really top-flight recording (which could use some minor EQ'ing). Dig Edge's solo! One of their best yet underrated songs. I've seen them a half dozen times. Have never seen them do this live. Thanks for this. This is a YouTube post for the ages.
I was at the U2 concert in 1995 in Auckland and BONO had GREGS family here and he paid his respects to the family & Greg - His loyyatiy will be remebered :)
THIS,Streets, With Or Without You, Desire, All I Want Is You (played in full), Angel Of Harlem, and even 40 (my favorite version) Are all incredible! I seriously dont understand why this show hasent been released yet.
WOW i remember listening to this on the radio new years eve with my mates....the whole show was riotous and emotive and this version is easily the best i ve heard....the end is apocalyptic
ja vergeet victor jara niet ........ z,n handen afgehakt , omdat ie muziek speelde , waar ,, meneertje,, pinochet niet van hield , rot in de hel pinochet!! u2 never die!!!
@TheGreatGizzo Thanks so much for posting this vid. This is the best live recording I've heard of One Tree. Great slide of photos too. I'm apparently way older than you. I saw U2 kick off thier War tour in Chapel Hill, NC USA back in 1983. They were supposed to start the tour in Virginia but heard of the opportunity to take part in a benifit concert a day earlier at Chapil Hill. Will never forget it. Again, Thanks for the post.

I remember this...this song was dedicated to the late Greg Carroll of New Zealand..he was a roadie for U2 and got killed driving Bono's motorcycle in Ireland. he looked after Alli..they buried him ona hill in NZ called "One Tree Hill". Sad, very touching. He was in his late 20's when he passed away.
Thanks for all the info, folks. I did not know all this about this song. This is still my favourite U2 song. And the Joshua Tree still remains one of the greatest albums of all time. I have good memories of this song in Joshua National Park in Nevada of all places. Heh. Cheers.

In my view, U2's most unheralded masterpieces. A beautiful composition of tempo and lyric. Makes me proud to be a U2 fan...

Yeah it beats me. Another one is Heartland. That is one of my favorites songs of all time, but they have never played it live before!!

Bono's voice would be destroyed by those powerful high notes!

@seannaylor I think the lack of playtime has a lot to do with the meaning of the song - who it's for and the emotional value to Bono.

@seannaylor My personal favorite along with Bad. Apparently they are playing it this tour!

Best out of all the Depot Shows.
THIS,Streets, With Or Without You, Desire, All I Want Is You (played in full), Angel Of Harlem, and even 40 (my favorite version) Are all incredible! I seriously dont understand why this show hasent been released yet.

Great shots of Victor Jara. Most people overlook the tribute U2 play to him in this song. Look him up if you read this and you'll understand why.

@TheGreatGizzo Thanks so much for posting this vid. This is the best live recording I've heard of One Tree. Great slide of photos too. I'm apparently way older than you. I saw U2 kick off thier War tour in Chapel Hill, NC USA back in 1983. They were supposed to start the tour in Virginia but heard of the opportunity to take part in a benifit concert a day earlier at Chapil Hill. Will never forget it. Again, Thanks for the post.

I remember this...this song was dedicated to the late Greg Carroll of New Zealand..he was a roadie for U2 and got killed driving Bono's motorcycle in Ireland. he looked after Alli..they buried him ona hill in NZ called "One Tree Hill". Sad, very touching. He was in his late 20's when he passed away.
