Hey guys :)
Since Until is my favorite song, I'm completely addicted now to Slane Castle and Boston performances from Elevation Tour. I'm also crazy about introductions/chants which Bono made before this song on Elevation Tour and I'd like to ask you to post your favorite ones and your favorite live versions of this song. I know it might be confusing what I'm talking about so here's the example.

SLANE CASTLE 2001, UTEOTW
Sure my soul can't by itself
Living in a whole new song
And shoot me in myself
Baby I'm killing my soul
(Why are you) treating me so bad
I wanna shoot you so bad
I wanna, yeah!

Thanks in advance!
Take care,
Bart
 
What a relief there's someone who likes it too :) Pity he didn't make those on Vertigo Tour (or did he?)

i always wondered what he was saying before the song!!

thanks for posting :)
 
I don't know if anyone's interested but today I had a revelation I "decoded" chants from two shows now and decoding other ones. Of some lines I'm pretty sure, some need correction. Ihope these shows how crazy I am 'bout Until, especially all Elevation performances =) I have all these performances if you would like to hear it and/or compare it.

Sorry about any mistakes.

Anyway:

2001-11-20 - Sacramento, California

To get here
Took her all my moan
Took her all my mind
Took her all her mind
Took her all my time
But it's gonna survive


2001-10-13 - Hamilton, Ontario

Jesus...
versus Judas.
Ohh, shine.


Shoot me, baby
You shoot my-- soul
Crumble-- with smile
You shoot-- my soul
Shoot my--
(Let's) rock!


2001-06-14 - Washington, D.C.

Conversation between Jesus...
and Judas..
That's miracle.


You stole-- my mind
It's going so and so right
You're fillin' me-- I'm opened wide
(Let go)--
that's right

You shine
You shine
(bright)
Love!


2001-06-22 - East Rutherford, New Jersey

Conversation between Jesus...
and Judas.
Oh, oh.


Sure goal had hidden my soul, and--
Now shinin' all above it
Sure now my baby gettin' cold
You're shinin'
Too slowly
You feel my comin' and rollin'
You're gonna shine!

Before UTEOTW Boston

Jesus, this is Judas
Do not forget you choose mine
You sank in my hole in a straight line
You fill my home when it goes right
You shutting me down like a wet rag
Take it shot blank
Shot blank


Before UTEOTW Mexico City

Yeah, Judas

Before UTEOTW Slane

Break it now
Shoot my soul, can’t hang myself
Really want it in my soul
You shot me in myself
Baby I killed my soul
I want to hurt you, you so bad
I want to shoot you, baby
I want to
Yeah

Here's u2wanderer.org version:
Jesus, this is Judas
(Uh huh...)

(On the Fourth on July)
(You took my only true life)
(You feel my heart isn't going right)
(You shoot me down like a mole rat)
(I hope you shine on bright) - line modified by me - there's no "gonna" and "hope" instead of "think"
(Shine bright, love!)

:)
 
is this just Bono-rambling, Bono speaking what is in his ever busy head, cuz most of it doesn't make sense. i do LOVE when he does it ....it sounds so sensual . i love to hear his thoughts out loud... but want him to make sense :scratch:
 
I love it when he's just blurting out what's on his mind in this particular moment. I think most of it is just sponatneous stuff, like when he's overwhelmed by emotions, but sometimes it does actually make sense, intended or not.
 
JC - touche' :wink:

last unicorn- never thought of that- he is quite emotional and passionate, so that would be a great explanation. thanks:heart: :up:
 
Yeah, Bono is really having his heart on his tongue, and since his heart is biiiiiiigggggg, he has to do a lot of singing and talking (and everything in between).
 
omg i love that so much lol
its my favorite song and i really hope i can see it live one day. and of course this is my favorite live version of it!
