Please was great to hear on the 3rd leg of Elevation.
One of the best Edge solos in my opinion as well.
Completely hypnotic. I remember hearing it for the first time in my Walkman when I was walking down ultra-busy Yonge Street in Toronto. It just seemed like perfection--one of those moments when you just say "Man, this is so great."
I first heard the song when I bought the "Electrical Storm" single. I was just getting into U2 and I knew I liked that song. It came with a DVD of things left of the "Best of 1990-2000" DVD. It had THE BEST live version of Please I've ever heard. I was in absolute awe. I remember just sitting on the floor in front of my TV with my jaw on the floor. I cried when Larry came in with the SBS drums. I've never heard any song like it before or since.
And I think the single version is the next best version--WOW. The orchestra MADE it!
Yeah, which live version was it? I also think the studio version is very good, but just not as good as the live ones.
It is the version of PLEASE live from Helsinki.
