Leave it U2 to pick this song over something more popular or well known, 'Please' was probably their current single. They must've been already thinking that MTV was becoming what it is now; soulless and shameless. Unusual song and definately not "made for MTV." Bravo U2!
Yeah, "please" is a very dark song with a great message. I remember when they performed this during this award show that year. U2 was very misunderstood on this record in the US. Most people in the audience seemed rather confused by the song. Damn shame!!
Bono thought he was the Unabomber.

I love both sides of u2's music but this performance reminds me why their darker intense stuff gets to me more than the more pop/comercial stuff.
Magical.

I think that any modern band would kill for a song like Please. I know I would!

The live versions that U2 have made for this single, are way better than the album version.
I consider this one of U2's materpieces!
