U2 - Miracle Drug (rare soundboard recording)

[LemonMelon]

There's this video on youtube that features almost pristine sound quality, and I have no idea what date it's from. They probably just pasted an mp3 from a bootleg over a video taken from somebody in the audience, but you never know:

YouTube - U2 - Miracle Drug (live, rare soundboard recording!)

Bono sounds fantastic here, very emotional, and Larry turns in what is probably his best performance of the tour. I'm surprised it took me so long to find this.

"This song...is like...about....drugs...!"

 

[BVS]

Just proof that Bono lip syncs!!!

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

LOL WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? lol

 

[LemonMelon]

It's all about Larry, guys. He doesn't get enough love around here, and after a performance like that, it's difficult to see why.

 

[coolian2]

I was at this show, it was a remarkable performance.

I want 30 seconds of my life back

 

[Rosebud]

I laughed so hard I think I may have had a small stroke.

I know U2 isn't the live band they used to be, but it wasn't that bad.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Wow, this is really good. Great find, LeMel! Be sure to show any other gems that you discover.

 

[Reggo]

The most beautiful performance I've ever heard!

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[prideofzootv]

They probably should have been watching the show instead of taping this, true.

It's actually better than one or two of the Axtung Bebei studio outtakes!!!

Don't tell Screw.

 

[LemonMelon]

Don't tell Screw.

I'm surprised he hasn't commented on this thread yet. Maybe because it's proof that U2 doesn't suck anymore?

 

[bono_212]

That was something else right there

 

[phillyfan26]

I see what's going on here.

 

[Anji]

U2 at their Best

 

[Moser]

Holy crap, enough with the sarcasm people. This has to be one of the worst performances by U2 EVER!

SUBJECTIVE OPINIONS, PEOPLE.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

i dunno, I thought they sounded pretty good...

where's Peterrr? I think Bono must have hit at least a High C....

Listen at 4:14. That's where I think he hit it.

 

[Axver]

I always thought U2 hit their peak with One Tree Hill on 26 December 1989. But no, I was wrong. This is their peak.

U2 are only getting better year after year!

 

[Gluey]

I need a smiley that pees itself laughing.

Masterpiece!

He's really hitting those high notes!

 

[ramblin rose]

Holy crap, enough with the sarcasm people. This has to be one of the worst performances by U2 EVER!

Don't worry. You just think you don't like it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Don't worry. You just think you don't like it.

Objectively speaking, it's the greatest thing U2 has done this decade.
