One and Pride are brothers in this respect. Brilliant studio versions, diluted by years of mostly live half-assery and general over-saturation.

If you've been tired of Pride, or U2's half-ass live versions of it for the last 20 years, do yourself a fLavor and put on the studio version of that fucking song. #Greatness.

word. I heard Pride on the radio the other day, and was pretty floored with how fresh and crisp everything still sounded in 2012, as well as the killer vocal.

Yep, still sounds vital as ever almost 30 years on.

I disagree that Bono singing the chorus line of Love Will Tear us Apart again and again matches the raw emotion that is the Shine Like Stars verse. There is no adequate replacement for it; versions with that verse were always the best.

For real. The LWTUA snippet has always come off as a bit dry to me.

... Most cover snippets do, to be honest.
