My fav U2 song. The 45 is indeed rare. I ordered it from London in 82 and have never seen another copy. The flip side is the studio version of 'trash, trampoline and the party girl'.
I visited that prison when I visited Dublin (as part of a U2 fanclub meetup, no less) and was so sad that no one's allowed on the upper levels of that wing. No fan reenactments of the video, tragic lol
i Know what should we do with the 100,000,oooo Euro`s we stole from the Irish econmy, I know give 15,000,000 to charity tell the world how great we are still leaves us an extra 85,000,000
I LOVE this song - one of my favorite U2 songs. The rarity factor kills me. I was pissed they didn't release on their B'sides CD. About 20 years ago I made a trip into a boutique vinyl shop in the West Village in NYC and found the 45. At least I got a copy. Maybe one of these days I'll have ripped to my computer. Thanks for the upload HyLeRo!
this is a hard track to get on CD - one place is on Now That's What I Call Music 1982 - Millennium Series (Virgin/EMI/ Universal NOWMIL 1982), I believe it may also be available as an extra track on the 2 cd reissue of "War".
One of the first U2 singles I bought - I know it came out in the UK on Island, in Eire on CBS, and Japan - also on Island.
If a US copy exists it's likely to be on the Atco label - but I've never seen one...

Bono is a raving right wing loopy hypocrit avoiding paying his tax`s does he think he can take it all with him when he dies. He talks about eradicating poverty, helping the poor etc what an evil IRISH ARSE HOLE. wayne roony and many buisness men many pop stars should hold there heads in shame
I have one of those four packs, the one with A Celebration. I looked for it for YEARS before a friend of mine got both four packs for me . . . but all I wanted was this song. I still have it, perfect record, not a scratch on it because I'm scared to listen to it!! It is a second pressing, evidently OccidentalAlice, but it's still worth the world to me. :)
if the yellow vinyl is on the cbs label it could be part of two four packs released in the early 80's of their first 8 singles all on cbs, only the first 4 were yellow vinyl. in mint condition both 4 pack are worth a substantial amount, a few hundred anyway
Okay, I bought this as a Japanese import 45" back in the early 80s...any idea what it might be worth? Around the same time, I bought 45" of Another Day, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, A Day Without Me, and Treasure (Pete the Chop). If you have any info on this stuff (which I've been holding on to for pretty much forever!!) please share, if you will. :)
I come from where they all grew up (a friend of Davy Evans) and have one of the very few yellow pressings of this one; if anyone else has one then treasure it
I come from where they all grew up (a friend of Davy Evans) and have one of the very few yellow pressings of this one; if anyone else has one thentreasure it
@OccidentalAlice Aye it is, In the record sleeve i have the yellow pressing and the original 7 inch pressing. Quite unique, maybe? Would never part from it in a million years!!!!!!
I HAVE THIS 45!! My brother won it from a friend duing a bet!! i have it framed and everything!! AWESOME SONG!! first time i saw the video was on a music channell here in jersey called U68! back when we could watch Uhf!!
Even if BONO HIMSELF wouldn't admit to it NOW, thisa is a decidely CHRISTIAN song! What's best about it though...is that it actually seems to actually grasp the redeeming nature of absolution....but WITHOUT insulting one's intellegence by forcing the meaning down your throat....and WITHOUT any judgemental BULLSHIT dogma! It's ALL about NEW testament, baby!@!!! U2....THE ONLY "Christian" rock n' roll band that was EVER worth a DAMN!!!
"I believe in the 3rd world war and I believe in the the atomic bomb..." is why this song has been effectively buried in cement by them and rightly so, whatever the fuck his naive teenage mind was thinking when writing those anti-human lyrics only he knows.
@KenfromDublin I took it as him speaking ironically, not that he actually believed in those things...to me, the song is about those who would rather turn a blind eye to those things, not that he does, or did. One great thing about U2 though...they've always left their songs open to interpretation.
I have a bootleg somewhere of them doing this live in about 81 at Brixton Academy. I'd never heard it before and I stuck it on and it completely blew me away. Totally raw, totally naive, totally brilliant. I can see why they thought this was a flawed version of the song... but how can they let them blind that to what an amazing song it is?
Get the bridge-- "we don't have the time"... and everything is suspended for a moment of time. Pure back-beat rock and roll. Get it back in the set bhoys!
I am lucky enough to have this on 7"...picked up at a record fair many years ago. It is the most treasured of my collection only just succeeding the War picture disc!!! Great tune.
U2-BRILLIANT BAND WITH SOME TRUELY GREAT SONGWRITING ,BUT BONO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP FUCKING PREACHING TO US AND TELLING US TO GIVE TO THE NEEDY.WHY DON'T YOU AND GELDOF EMPTY YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS AND SEND IT ALL TO AFRICA.
@coleygirl89 yes! I lived nearby and did the tour one day and was thinking "yes. this is it they were here..awesome!" besides the history of who else was put into this jail in 1916---
For those of you questioning the lyric 'I believe in the third world war I believe in the atomic bomb' Bono was stating the issues that repressed people, but the whole sentiment of this song was to say ' No..... we should celebrate what is good and true' hence the lyric 'I believe in the powers that be but they won't overpower me'
I agree this song is one of their best and remember it not making the charts......U2 were just tops in those days......still are.....well mostly!!!
I got into an argument with my friend about U2's being a great Post-Punk/New Wave band. But she doesn't think they belong to that category. "They're just Rock" she says. I'm like, yeah, maybe now they're mainstream Rock because they're just popular enough to fill stadiums. But their roots like in Post-Punk/New Wave, dammit! The Clash was they reason they got together in the 1st place.
I have been in the place they record this video,in march. It is called Kilmainham Gaol, and it's a great place to visit. lots of ireland story in there!
When i was there i was allways remembering this video :D
U2 creates music that makes sense. Their music takes you through the spectrum of emotions. They sound like NO other band, and no other band sounds like them. Thank God for U2...a band that gives a voice to us all!!!!
It is interesting to be able to track a band from their start. I have demos and other rare recordings from most of the bands I've been following for decades, including U2 and Bowie.
You can't really track bands today because they seem to come polished, sterile, and boring right out of the mainstream box. Not that I'd care to follow any of them. The last band I faithfully followed was the Pixies. Before that Joy Division.
Having been born in the 60's had its benefits. We cared about music.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's just a shame that they now are the biggest and one of the most boring bands on the planet. That's just my opinion. Flame me if you will, I don't care. The magic has long-since left them.
It was still being being played as late as 1985, during the unforgettable fire album but the so called official explanation is that the edge forgot how to play it. I have to say its one of my favourite songs of the era. I was lucky enough to have bought the 7" record...its B side fared a lot better - and party girl became a live favourite for many years.
This song rocks. May I ask why this song isn't played by U2 anymore (or rarely)? Is it seen as being "dated" or were the lyrics too embarrassing? If this question was answered previously, my apologies, but I can't be bothered to sift through 270+ comments for this vid. Thanks for any kind reply.
I can't answer because I don't understand either :-( I LOVE this song. The lyrics seem anything BUT embarrasing to me, they feel so powerful! I'm not mad at U2 for not using this song more, but I know what you mean.
YES there early stuff was better,everything upto early 90's,but there is a band from south england thats better started in 1977and-still going,not as strong but still going.
I have been in this prison today. It was very impressive - if that's a proper term. The guide took us on a 90 minute tour through the building and explained lots about the history of the building, the social and the political history that this building is tied to. I can recommend a visiit to Kilmainham Gaol to anyone who hasn't been there for multiple reasons.
I remember hearing this song for the first time around 87 when I was 16. I was blown away by it and remember trying to track it down. Thanks for posting - it still sounds great!
And I to think I actually had the 7" single of this, but lost it sometime a long time ago. Grrrrr.
Back in the days when U2 were actually good, before they sold themselves out with The Joshua Tree and Bono disappeared up his own arse (a couple of songs from Achtung Baby excepted)
saw U2 live in 1984, the War Tour. Great concert. Saw them again for the Lovetown Concert - one of the worst I have ever been to. The beginning of the end.
@geostar42 I was just thinking the same thing. I was telling a friend that I have all of U2's major albums and there are still so many songs from them that I have never heard in my life and when I put em on they're ALL awesome.
Yeah..U2 is the ultimate band...to me the greatest in history...no band comes even close to them...I say this after 20+ years of listening to their stuff..its timeless...I never get tired of hearing it over and over...I always find a new note here and there or lyric that I did not pay attention to...This is not Rock...this is art..just like Mozart or Picasso..U2 is the best rock band in history.
@simy811 , I like led Zeppelin a lot....I guess it just comes to personal taste when it comes to talented musicians...my favorite bands are U2, Simple Minds, then comes acdc, iron maiden, led, big country....
early 90's, 80's, 70's to 50's great music....these days music has turned into a show of who is cuter and sexier...and music has been lost as a form of art...its incredible how there is no talented musicians anymore, 1950-1990 was the golden age of music.
I still have this on 45 as well. Awesome song that I've always loved. Listened to it last week as a matter of fact!

I LOVE this song! I like Edge's guitar riff!

It was still being being played as late as 1985, during the unforgettable fire album but the so called official explanation is that the edge forgot how to play it. I have to say its one of my favourite songs of the era. I was lucky enough to have bought the 7" record...its B side fared a lot better - and party girl became a live favourite for many years.

This song rocks. May I ask why this song isn't played by U2 anymore (or rarely)? Is it seen as being "dated" or were the lyrics too embarrassing? If this question was answered previously, my apologies, but I can't be bothered to sift through 270+ comments for this vid. Thanks for any kind reply.

I can't answer because I don't understand either :-( I LOVE this song. The lyrics seem anything BUT embarrasing to me, they feel so powerful! I'm not mad at U2 for not using this song more, but I know what you mean.

How come they couldn't at least put the song on the "Best Of 1980-1990" album?!

I have a couple of Live U2 tapes from the early 80's and this song was on it. I had no idea it was considered their rarest song.

as soon as joshua tree happened they should have changed their name
real80smusic 2 years ago
Really, Joshua tree is one of my favorite u2 albums. For me, it's anything after Rattle and Hum, they should've changed their name.

I have been in this prison today. It was very impressive - if that's a proper term. The guide took us on a 90 minute tour through the building and explained lots about the history of the building, the social and the political history that this building is tied to. I can recommend a visiit to Kilmainham Gaol to anyone who hasn't been there for multiple reasons.

I remember hearing this song for the first time around 87 when I was 16. I was blown away by it and remember trying to track it down. Thanks for posting - it still sounds great!

MisterNollaig 2 years ago 2
And I to think I actually had the 7" single of this, but lost it sometime a long time ago. Grrrrr.
Back in the days when U2 were actually good, before they sold themselves out with The Joshua Tree and Bono disappeared up his own arse (a couple of songs from Achtung Baby excepted)
saw U2 live in 1984, the War Tour. Great concert. Saw them again for the Lovetown Concert - one of the worst I have ever been to. The beginning of the end.

@geostar42 I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with the fact that U2 is an awesome band...

@geostar42 I was just thinking the same thing. I was telling a friend that I have all of U2's major albums and there are still so many songs from them that I have never heard in my life and when I put em on they're ALL awesome.

Yeah..U2 is the ultimate band...to me the greatest in history...no band comes even close to them...I say this after 20+ years of listening to their stuff..its timeless...I never get tired of hearing it over and over...I always find a new note here and there or lyric that I did not pay attention to...This is not Rock...this is art..just like Mozart or Picasso..U2 is the best rock band in history.

@simy811 , I like led Zeppelin a lot....I guess it just comes to personal taste when it comes to talented musicians...my favorite bands are U2, Simple Minds, then comes acdc, iron maiden, led, big country....
early 90's, 80's, 70's to 50's great music....these days music has turned into a show of who is cuter and sexier...and music has been lost as a form of art...its incredible how there is no talented musicians anymore, 1950-1990 was the golden age of music.
