NLOTH live: which version do you prefer ?

[U2girl]

YouTube - U2 No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin [HD High Quality] studio in Dublin, closer to the album version and a bit slower, or the tour version, more guitar driven and a bit faster ?

No brainer. Current live version kicks ass. And Bono's guitar is audible

Live version

 

[Irishteen]

Live version

Eh they're both live

I like the intro in the studio version, but prefer the audible drums live once the "hole in her heart" verse starts. And the "I'm a traffic cop!" part rocks live too. If it hadn't been for Crazy remix this would be my 360 NLOTH song highlight.

i would say the Scheffield version is by far my favorite live version of this song. with that said, i don't think anything could top the album version. the album version just explodes, takes off and never looks back.

^ What he said.


Though I still would die to hear NLOTH2 live one day.

Its just a kick ass song live. Album version fails to capture the rawness of the guitar.

 

[digitize]

I like every version of this song.

That makes you and me both, GG. On some days...well...I'd almost prefer it!

Stop! My show in DC was the only damn show on the whole tour where they didn't play it. Then I only get to hear it in Charlottesville transmitted through the echoing suburb skies as my friends and I race madcap through a neighborhood toward the stadium, late to the show.

shouldnt Dublin have been called the 270 tour?

they're all great. would be nice to have that synth at the end though... miss that from the album.
