when I hear some Bono's live ... I suffer for its strings. A voice so beautiful and strong, with little knowledge of vocal technique would still beautiful ... but here he feels perfectly the decline ... in the final part is completely in the throat, all the effort of issue is going out of calibration
U2's best song.. hands down. You know they are onto a good thing when the Edge's guitar work isnt the main focus of the song. Much like New Year's Day.. which is bass dominant.
This is my favourite U2 song alongside Your Blue Room which is The Passengers (U2+Brian Eno) song, actually :) Not the best live version here, though.
Same here. My father got my hooked with Boy, actaully. I started with I Will Follow but I now know everything up to Cedars of Lebanon. I will say older U2 (pre Achtung Baby) sounds better to my ears though.
Love this performance! Have to chuckle when the stagehand runs out at 3:28, then turns around and runs back. It's like Bono looked at him and said, "Boo!"
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat .. get a grip ...its amazin' ill go crazy if i dont go crazy if i dont go crazy toooo-nite , moment of surrender , no line on the horizon ,unknown caller , breathe . cedars of lebenon put on ur boots , fez , white as snow and magnificent .Its a buzzin' album
@catzzinahat - i agree my bro.......top piece of work by the boys..!! the only "stinker" for me is "get on yer boots"- great guitar riff....but terrible song.......(sorry). but there is a few classic u2 tunes on "no line on the horizon"...."moment of surrender", "go crazy",
"magnificent", "breathe"-(dont know why they dropped it on the 2010 leg as an opener?) even the title track sounded great live, but again was dropped..??
great album all round....... peace. G. (pop-martian)
@catzzinahat Totally agree with what your saying.. Fantastic Album... Moment of surrender on the 360 DVD is awesome, not forgetting the cuban beats too!
@deanej10 I agree with you. Did I like the album? sure. But is it among their best albums? No. I really like moment of surrender though. But The unforgettable fire is better than any song on the new album.
According to a leaked set list, this is going to be played on the new tour.
And by the way, I love the new album, mostly because alot of it reminds me of the UF era. Im hardly a blinded U2 fan (I hated most of ATYCLB and still do and didnt like HTDAAB much better), but I think NLOTH is much more like their 80s stuff, and a very good album in general. Quite the opposite of "no good song", it contains their best songs since AB.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I am glad to see there are more disappointed U2 fans who are disgusted by the garbage they are releasing these days
does anyone know what bass adam is using and how he gets that slap sound when he's actually fingerpicking?

The spark that set the flame. Listening to this song on newyearsday of 1985 set a spark to flame in my heart. U2 became a important part of my live.
