    A beautiful tribute to those who have died down any mine and also to the great Luke Kelly, whose version of this is also phenomenal. Thanks for posting

    Nice track to discover. Just before the Joshua Tree Tour, their best LP and one of their best tours. U2 at its best. Though I admit, he should´ve known that it didn´t happen "in the year of 88"..;-) Give ´em a break, in the eighties they were one of the best.

    The Irish seem to feel a great appreciation and respect for this song, and I say let them sing it as they will.

    Interesting. Really messed up the lyrics and message but I can see in this more poetic and powerful song then any I know from U2 an inspiration for work they later did. McColl, a real socialist, knew how to say things directly and yet with polish.

    I think he's updating the immediacy of the disaster to that present day. It was a cover of Luke Kelly's version which was years earlier. Respect to your Grandda.

    Wow, what a great song. I'm sorry to hear that the lyrics sung weren't consistent with the original, but I feel that Bono and the guys did their best (which was pretty impressive here) and had good intentions.
