This is not a song ,

this is spiritual medicine to me and much more ,

this song saved my life when i was 16 in 85 , and to this day it gives me spiritual healing !!

sometimes a band can surpass brilliance, sometimes a song can become a spiritual entity that touches many hearts, but when a performance takes on such a personality of its own and cannot be described with earthly words, it is simply heavenly, then....and only then will we see true music, true beauty, true passion, unrivalled sincerity and at that point the artists become channels for God himself to sing to the world.

This is one of those rare spectacles....watch it again and enjoy Gods work!

I lost a close friend last month. This song is what keeps me going when I'm really upset. RIP Anthony. We all miss you.

I was a 16 yr old when I saw U2 in Denver in 1985.. To this very day I remember this song and the emotion it stirred in me and it has the same effect on me now.. I've seen many, many bands since then but none of them have come close to what I experienced on that day.. What an awesome memory..

musically to listen to this song you have to cry because if you don't fade away then you're wide awake
