  1. Hey all!

    Sorry if this has been posted before but I just found an amazing U2ube clip of an acoustic version of this song........I think its one of their most under-rated songs and I remember Lanois saying that the acoustic version was much better....

    Does anyone know if there are any acoustic versions around to download??

    Anyway heres the clip:



    Thanks

  5. Thanks guys...much appreciated!.......I wish they recorded an acoustic version as a b-side!

  6. Just wanted to highlight this thread, a song I’m a big fan of. You’d have to be absolutely crazy to suggest there’s anything wrong with this performance, nitpicking some would say to question it. So please don’t get all worked up, just enjoy it.
  7. Great performance. I’ve tried my hardest and can’t find fault with it.
  8. Same, Bono’s timing is absolutely spot on, perfection you could say.
  9. A great song. I like it very much, but also another U2 song which they can not play proper live
  10. I know at least one person who would say you are nitpicking and at least one other person who would back them up. One thing we can’t criticise about the performance is Bono’s timing, we literally can’t, it would be crazy.
  11. Of course denallison you have as usual an answer. Fact is that this song is one in a big row of U2 songs which U2 can not play live during a concert, which I regret.
  12. They're limited musicians. Simple as that. But as the quote goes; "Genius makes a virtue of its limitations".
