1. I prefer the live version more. I like the added bridge, it's more powerful. I listened to the live recordings first, cause my dad was always watching Zoo Tv on VHS and Slane Castle. Then I heard the studio and it seemed off to me without it. It's still throws me off sometimes but i hope that the studio version is not done for TJT17

    Well... I would love if they decided to rehearse this version for tour... I think this is never gonna happen, but would be great


  2. Actually you're right. I don't want Joshua Tree to get the Pop treatment...

    Heartfully disagree The / / / / / * / / / / / * / / / / / * intro by Larry is an unmistakable feature of the strongest build up to the song. Just the organ doesn't do it for me - whether it's more similar to the album or not. Longer organ plus Larry's intro = big win!
    I didn't say that was good or bad. Just noticed they ditched it to maybe make it more sound like the studio version. I like that intro a lot. It can stay/come back
  4. The long buildup is still there, but it's way less pronounced because it always starts at the end of whatever song is leading into Streets. The simple solution would be to make the long intro longer, but Bono tends to fill the space with whatever lyrics/speech/prayers he can so it's much harder to appreciate Larry's drum intro.
  5. Chris Evan's has just said on his BBC radio 2 breakfast show that 'postman Bono' will be hand delivering new material from the band into the studio sometime in March. Must be the new Red Hill.

  7. Probably been up here before, but it's good watching

  8. My buddy tells me there are rumors of U2 playing Osheaga but I haven't seen anything. I would be happy though since it would give me a chance to see them what with Toronto being sold out.
