    Has anyone already mentioned the sweet rhythm? Such a great tune for "slow dancing"
    Yes and don't forget "Can't help falling in love" ....
    It would be great if some more soul and blues made their way
    into the setlist this summer............................

    I think the official live recordings of this song are absolutely fantastic, and experiencing it performed live is amazing, but a lot of the bootleg recordings for this song are very hit and miss, leaning more towards misses. The raw emotion of the live version is fantastic, but overall this song gets a lot from post-recording sound mixing, more so than other songs U2 has performed live.
  3. would like to hear this song again at some point live..
  5. Live is were it lives...

    The searing solo from Edge is one of his emotional finest. Great memories of the 360 Tour closure at Moncton in 2011.

    I loved his playing at that time...Unkown Caller was another highlight. I hope SOE has songs as good as these.

    ...and it was borne out of NLOTH so don't slag that off too much !
  6. When Bono says "One last time" before the solo
  8. Like a few of those NLOTH tunes, I thought that this was a bit of a horse without a stable on that album. Songs of Experiences would be a better home for it; it's very experiential... I have a renewed appreciation for it recently.

    Anyway, English singer Nick Mulvey has done a great (studio) cover version, available on all platforms. There's also a youtube link on the u2songs twitter feed.
  9. someone knows where to find the backing track or instrumental of this song

    Great song however Lanois and Eno were very dominant on it as they were for a lot of that album hence why they got credits, McGuinness wasn't happy about them been given co writing credits his position was that they were hired only as producers I wonder did it have some bearing on him leaving his role as manager soon afterwards? Interesting the band haven't worked with them since that album but maybe they should bring them back for the next album as the last 2 albums have lacked a strong cohesive sound that Eno and Lanois do so well .
  11. Top track that almost gets there but just lacks something...

    Certainly doesn't lack the production values as they greatly add to the overall song.

    I always feel like it doesn't quite give me what I expect from it if that makes sense.
  12. I would love the lanois Eno return
    in so many ways they are the 'signature' sound
