Absolutely LOVE that rendition of the song. Sung with such passion and very touching. Better than any other version of the song including Elvis's!

That's gorgeous! :wacky:

 

Yeah, if you don't have it already by the whole concert Zoo TV Live From Sydney on DVD. It is a quite simply stunning live show that gave me shivers down my spine most times! It's really amazing so you HAVE to buy it! :D

:stunned: I really do!! :freak:

 

Thanks for letting me know, by the way. :D

 

Sometimes people overreact when they say 'YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS!!' but definitely not on this occasion. Amazingly before I bought the DVD I wasn't the biggest fan of Achtung Baby but the dvd converted me into thinking it was their best album by far! It's kinda sad really but I'm gagging to put the DVD on the instance I get back from university in a couple of weeks just to watch it rather than watching Youtube videos of it! I guess it's allowed considering I've been away from home for 3 months now! :laugh3:

:lol:, Don't worry, I believe you.

 

There's no overreacting when it comes to U2. In my mind, at least. :wacko::D

In a way I hope they don't road test new stuff unless it has a proper release. Judging from the 360 tour thus far the new songs didn't get the greatest response.

 

It's strange because I feel part of that is down to the reason that their new songs probably don't fit into that massive spaceship stage of theirs. That stage comes into it's own for songs like Unforgettable Fire and other greatest hits though. Don't get me wrong the new album is wonderful, but people probably expected more epicness to flow from their songs, which not many do.

If they try to do too many new songs, they won't get a good response. Any band wouldn't get a good response that way.

 

Particularly with U2 whose back catalogue has probably more famous songs than most of all the biggest bands in the world today put together. Plus these new songs are difficult to do live, unlike say with Coldplay's Viva La Vida album where they played almost all the songs on that album in one gig, because those songs transmitted brilliantly live.
