Originally posted by allsongslive:From Zooropa, all albums of the group have had a minimum of four singles. The group (and UMG) is tired that none of the three singles have been a hit and have surrendered? it seems....
Originally posted by vanquish:I disagree, the album version is not as good as the song live.
Bono's singing is better live, he sounds less out of breath and the album version lacks the Edge's fantastic 'clicky' guitar line which was a perfect addition to the live performances and really fills out the sound compared to the studio version. Furthermore unlike some of their other songs the live version of MoS doesn't lack any elements that the album version has.
Perhaps the album version could have been better if they developed it more and it went through more iterations. The fact that it was recorded on the very first take just means it could be improved (as the live versions show).

I prefer the live version as well. What a terrific closer it was, and hopefully remains, unless they stick 40 after it of course.

They have been a hit, just not with the bigger crowd they are aiming for.
This has a good bit of advice: keep trying and maybe you'll hit the target.
