Of all the bonus tracks on the re-releases of the first three U2 albums. I recommend starting the test-drive with the God-haunted live versions on the deluxe "October" below.
(Quick, they are only streaming for week)
Hat tip to Beth, who comments:
the live performance of "I Fall Down," track 12 on the bonus disc for October, is probably my favorite ever live version of that song, with copious heartfelt lyric changes that by the end almost verge on a sort of prophecy. If you want to get a visceral sense of the dislocation, anger, yet determination to persevere in faith that this band were going through during the October period, just listen to this performance.another early version

Also
- Bono's spoken question at 1:58 of "I Threw A Brick" is intriguing. It's the only question I have!
- What is Bono saying/praying from 3:55 ff on "Tomorrow" live, where he usually says "Believe it...Jesus coming"??
- A live version of "Shout!"
I'm really surprised they put "With A Shout" on, after comments from Edge a few years ago saying he never wanted to hear it again in his life. But I'm sorry we didn't get a live version of "Rejoice" -- there are a lot of stellar ones.
ReplyDeleteWow You really dig U2 Huh?
