Before the flashiness of the Zoo TV, Zooropa and Pop tours, Bono had to make his own light show...Seriously though, great wall of sound guitar. Apparently Edge studied Tom Verlaine.
It was actually shown live for the Island Records 25th anniversary along with Stand By Me, C'mon Everybody and Running To Standstill. The special was being broadcast from London. I know it all when it comes to these guys, no-one can beat me!! Not an anorak, just a good memory!!
This is my favorite U2 song by a mile, but calling it a "smash hit" is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? I mean, it wasn't even released as a single.
i really want to know the 1 person who dislikes this video so that way i can purchase a plane ticket travel to wherever they are and have a serious discussion on why they don't like this?????????
@CZMephisto1973 It's from the DVD that came with the Joshua Tree Deluxe Box Set. It has a CD with the remastered original album, a disc of bonus tracks, and a DVD with this entire concert. Pretty sick.
@danimal97520 Yeah, I didn't catch that. Before saying that, however, he says "Sunny skies over Paris." Why he goes on to mention London is anyone's guess. Lol Bono...
@LongLiveRock105 He mentions London as this was broadcast live on the BBC. I remember watching it!! Im sure i must still have it on video somewhere as I taped it....
@danimal97520 this was during a hot summer period in 1987, I watched this live on TV in England at the time, it was the peak of the Joshua Tree and we were all blown away.....fcuking most powerful song and performance I have ever seen this version.
@iangatsby21 You know what? I *do* have the 20th anniversary JT remastered set; my husband bought it for me, but for some reason, I totally forgot that the dvd came w/ it, duh:( But thanks for your reply. I am off to watch the dvd:)
i love this song but i love the "chicago:vertigo 2005" live version from the dvd. way better. they've gotten better live as they have gotten older from what ive seen on here.
Hands down my favorite song from Joshua Tree...but then again, with or without you is in a class by itself...but this song rocks...100...200 (!) times better than the rest of the album
The older they get, they do a better version of this tune. Popmart's version is better than ZooTV's version. Check that out.

@kja427 THAT'S TRUE, MUCH BETTER, and I think the pop version is even better, but It's an incredible song no matter what version you're listening,

This song reminds me so much of Jimi Hendrix' "Machine Gun"...gives me goosebumps. The slide solo makes me cry, it's so....beautiful.
