@RattleAndHum1988 Hey there. I thought your analysis was spot on! I've heard other versions of Out of Control and instead of it feeling down, the energy and the tweaks on the lyrics made it seem like "OK. We're older now, we get where we were and who we were. We may have been a little over the top, but we're OK with that." And somehow the lyric about death felt defiant as ever. Entering my 40's I identify with the feeling. I may be getting older, but I'm still standing and I'll rock till the end

@dajzilla You got it! Amen to that! LOVE The Fab 4, my second favorite band ever. But in so many ways they weren't made of the same stuff as these "boys"...

Brazilian fan. But even in the USA to have the privilege of free U2. In my country they would be assaulted and knocked to the ground. Do you have those that we lack civility. This they have until they did before in Los Angeles. Thank goodness they invented YouTube

@omersexy I think U2 has a complex that their music can't stand alone without all the glitz they use on their tours in stadiums. I think some of their best performances are stripped down like this Brooklyn Bridge show they did. They're really at their best when they just have a stage like this, and they connect with the audience. The ATYCLB tour was a good example of just good rocking.

I'm amazed at the hyperbole on these posts! First, U2 would be the first to admit they're not The Beatles and wouldn't compare themselves to them. The Beatles are the greatest rockband ever whether you take their lyrics, musicianship, or arrangements by George Martin who had a classical music background and is considered one of the most innovative engineers ever. 2nd to say that U2 can't write a lyric is RIDICULOUS. I could take any song off The Joshua Tree or R&H to kill that argument!

I love this performance. Everything about it, the tempo, the energy, edge's tone, bono's voice, spot on. Much much better than most other versions around that time, like Slane, which sounds like a washed up rock star looking back on his past. This is more like a rock star embracing his past and doing it better. I wonder when the last time was bono actually sang "i was of the feeling it was out of control I had the opinion it was out of control" ?
