Native Son Live In Argentina - by U2mixer

Here's a live video mix I did of a live audio mix I did of U2's Native Son.

I used the Argentinian Vertigo television footage to synch with the audio of Native Son to make it appear that the band was playing it live ;)

Hope you like it!

I must say that Native Son is better than Vertigo,

[turtle53081]

Native Son was the original song before Bono changed it to Vertigo. It is based on true events where a Native American, Leonard Peltier was wrongly convicted for the murder of 2 FBI agents during a standoff on a Lakota reservation. He is still in prison to this day trying to get out. He's been locked up since 1975.

To anyone who doesn't know, Native Son is the original lyrics to Vertigo, based on Leonard Peltier. Leonard Peltier's story is very controversial.

fantastic, really great!

but one mistake: the part from 1:23 sings The Edge, not Bono :'D

but still great

this song is just as good as vertigo and maybe better

I think as a title & lyric concept Native Son was too... worthy, maybe? to be a real single. Vertigo is throwaway but meaningful, and I think the riff is more awesome on Vertigo. Not that I dislike Native Son, but Vertigo is in my top 10 U2 songs so I am biased. ;)

excelente trabajo!

estuve en ese recital, y la verdad es que lograste hacer mas emocionante mi recuerdo de ese dia!

Asi y todo pienso que NATIVE SON es mejor cancion que VERTIGO en todo sentido, nunca voy a entender porque u2 siempre deja sus mejores temas en lados b y demas...

ame este video

I agree with others here that Native Son is a superior song to Vertigo. I don't understand why they dropped it. The way the song slides into the final chorus from that long drawn out "freeeeee" from Bono is purely awesome.
