I know he's credited as being one of the best for it, but can we take a moment to appreciate exactly how metronomic Larry is? He's not flashy or technical, but the man has timing accuracy that would put an atomic clock to shame. I was lucky enough to be at this show in Sydney, and I can assure you the audio hasn't been fiddled around with at all for the video release, they really were this good. Bono and The Edge get all the attention, but watching this show in person I really came to appreciate how rock solid Adam and Larry are, and how instrumental this was in their brilliance. U2 ruled the world in the 90s, little did I realise I would never see anything like that Zoo TV tour ever again, not from them, or from anyone else. I've seen plenty of big acts that did the visual spectacular thing. Kiss, Alice Cooper, Rammstein, Slipknot, took my younger sister to see Madonna and Pink when both were at the height of their success, all those shows had plenty going on visually, musically they were serviceable but not great. Funny enough probably Madonna was the closest and I'm not even a big fan, but she was pretty tight musically. But in terms of being musically perfect as well as the big spectacular show U2 were unparalleled.
The most amazing guitar solo. Edge made that guitar scream like crazy at the end. What an amazing song. You could really sense The Edge's heart break in that guitar solo (since this song is about The Edge's divorce).
@@KLRGT500KR No. Maybe the Edge was inspired, or motivated by the divorce, to compose that kind of sad and bitter sound for the guitar solo. But the song, and lyrics, are about terrorism.
@@KLRGT500KR It's common knowledge among u2 fans. This song is about the IRA and terrorism. The parked car in a crowded street, the clockworks, the death with no call and no warning. What movie are you talking about?
Strange set of events, I was a huge early U2 fan, I even saw them live around 1982, but had never heard this song. Then many years later a local So. Cal. band did a version of it, a bit slower and with a female singer. It was included on their first (self-released) album, but when a bigger company re-released it, it was left off (for reasons unknown to me). It was not until years later, I even found out it was originally a U2 song. Now, I will give the Edge, the nod on his awesome guitar solo in this live version, but I still like the Trespassers William version much, much better, and would encourage fans to give it a listen, here on RU-vid...
You should at the very least listen to some of U2's mid 80's and 90's stuff as there are so many exceptional songs during this period. Songs like this for example from the incredible 'Achtung Baby' album!
TOUT LE MONDE NE SERA PAS D ACCORD AVEC MOI ET JE LE CONCOIS MAIS C EST L UN DES PLUS BEAU MORCEAUX DE U2 SURTOUT EN CONCERT POUR MOI C EST ENORME ET JE REGRETTE DE NE L AVOIR JAMAIS ENTENDU EN CONCERT
The Edge wrote this about finding out that his wife was cheating on him. Saw this tour at the old Patriots stadium in Foxborough. Absolutely amazing live.
Not a cover. Came upon after recording Jack White's version a couple of weeks ago...I saw U2 at my college in Hartford '83 (at the time was listening to War every day), and a few times since. But SOMEHOW this song had escaped my radar. An awesome B&W cut, faster tempo, killer guitar and vocals...Love everything except Bono's makeup!...Doesn't matter, this is the most underrated U2.
random girl from the audience. once in a while Bono signals for someone in the audience to come on stage. During 2015 IE tour, he called up about 30 people on stage for Streets and during “I still haven’t found…”. U2 shows are something else.
I'm saddened to see how obsessively commercialised U2 have become today and how money has got in the way of creativity. Songs like this bring me back to a time when the band mocked and disregarded sponsorship. Fame is blindness! Anyway The Edge solo here is epic!!
Fingers too known to feel..... U2 interpreta la cancion casi como en un teatro, cada palabra, cada acorde va armonizando. Se nota cómo sienten la energía, se nota... Y nos hacen entrar en ese montaje ilusorio y nos perdemos...
