U2 - Promenade
 Album:
The Unforgettable Fire (1984)
  1. Has it ever been played live? Doesnt seem to be a video on youtube.
  2. Don't trust youtube. For this kind of things, the only reliable source are U2 pages, specially U2gigs.com.

    A quick search gives you zero results for Promenade: http://www.u2gigs.com/all-songnames.html

    Therefore, it has never been played (or there is no constance of it at least).
  3. Cheers likeasong. Cant believe it hasnt at least been snippeted.
  4. such a dream of a song; perfectly sublime
  5. I never got the point in Promenade... x10
  7. It's not that I dislike it, but it's kinda... unfinished and raw, isn't it? I like the general athmosphere but... Lacks something. Maybe it's that I haven't listened a lot to it
  8. I absolutely LOVE Promenade. And it's the 'rawness' (I think I may have made a word up) I love.

    It feels as if it was just a bit of a jam after alot of Eno influence. It's like The Unforgettable Fire album at it's seminal point.

    I don't think it would work live, it's far too chilled. Just like Grace. It's one I would have on my dream "U2 are playing your front room" setlist.

    Same opinion here

    I love to listen to it before sleep or when I want to make de things calmer...Great songs

  10. Love it.
  11. Like it very much but dont listen to it often.


  12. Legend says it's a love song for Ali, probably that's why has never been played live. Kinda just between them.
