    All songs, except NLOTH became beasts live.
  2. I thought NLOTH was one of the better ones from the album live except the one off acoustic version which was a disaster, boots was poor both live and on the album, I’ll go crazy remix was poor, and I thought unknown caller was fine live but not better than the album. Breathe, magnificent and moment of surrender were all great live but great on the album as well.
  3. Nonsense, NLOTH was the best one they performed live from that album.

    Crazy tonight live has nothing to do with music never mind live music. Not what I go to a u2 concert to see or hear. Give me the album version any day.

    I think if this had been the lead single, people would have noticed the album. It's a quintessential U2 song that people would go "oh, that's U2", and I'm sure it would have garnered some following. Heck, Vertigo I think made it because of that same reason - imagine they'd lead with LAPOE?

    Not sure,I think U2 2000-2006 were a far more popular act than the 360 era,yeah they were still huge but the turn of the millennium was like a reboot for the band,SYCMIOYO isn't a number 1 song yet that's where it ended up,their popularity with the general public was mega.
    The ambient nature of many NLOTH tracks did them no favours keeping them relevant plus they were suddenly a group of guys in their fifties.
    Think music left them behind a bit in that 3 year gap.

    I think that their desire for popularity is really all that they can't leave behind

    LAPOE is the best song on album but no doubt it has no charts/mainstream radio potential...
    But Crazy album version is very cheesy but very boring (same type of song like Stuck or California... )
  9. LOL right you are

    LAPOE is good, but Original of the Species is better
  11. What happened to the Love for POP.

    No one loves "POP" ... forgotten... banished... swept away under the rug...
    collecting dust on the shelf ... the black-sheep of the family

    Release the POP in you too !
    Release POP super-deluxe-ultimate-collectors-special-edition 8 CD box !

    by the way...
    ATYCLB 20th anniversary edition is excellent *big applause"
    Was hoping to have and hear more rare demos from this era.
    But its a great box-set !
    Thank you !
  12. Would love to hear demo’s and a ‘baby’ pop as extra’s. On topic: the atyclb reissue Ad some nice extra’s but nothing new. So 8 cd’s for popšŸ¤
