OMG: 'Kite' from WITS single!

[bathiu]

...entire 8 minutes of it...

 

[Zooropean103]

And Zoo Station from Buenos Aires Truely both are the definitive versions of these songs.

 

[adrball]

I think the Vertigo version of Zoo Station is far superior.

The Kite version is awesome.

 

[xaviMF22]

I think the Vertigo version of Zoo Station is far superior.

see what happens when you think?

 

[dezmaas]

He talks sense, yes!!

 

[Galeongirl]

I wouldn't know how this sounds just yet, since I had to order the cd at the music store, and the bastards ordered me the wrong one.... and I told them it should have a song named Kite on it! blegh, now the new guy ordered the right one, thank god, only a week more to go!

 

[Habib]

yes ! CD2 of WITS is the best u2 single release in a looooooong time!

 

[toscano]

no need to wait, it's up on torrent sites

 

[Galeongirl]

no need to wait, it's up on torrent sites

need to wait, cause SOME people here still actually buy cds..

shocking isn't it?

 

[gump]

The long intro of kite is gorgeous indeed! One of their best live releases as a B-side in ages!

 

[J_NP]

see what happens when you think?

Speaks the truth , Edge's guitar sounds WAY better in Vertigo than Zoo

No. Did I say I wouldn't buy it ? No.

that maybe true...but nothing will beat this

zoo station as an opener was

I also found their performance of the song was way better on the Zoo tour

 

[alanah]

Oh yeah, Kite is awesome!!!

 

[martha]

Amazon should be sending it in a week or so.

 

[Popmartijn]

Got it today!
(plus of course also the other 2 versions)

 

[craigp]

has it been released later in some countries? i got mine 2nd of jan in uk (the verison with kite and zoo station). had it on non-stop til i got home, then i played it some more! certainley the bsides for a loooong time

it kinda takes away the pleasure of listening to it the first time if you torrent it

 

[J_NP]

that maybe true...but nothing will beat this

Nothing no ........ this

 

[toscano]

kite is awesome...Zoo station is ok....much better on the zoo tour...

Agreed, the Vertigo Zoo Station is weak compared to the original Zoo TV version. Vocally, and guitar-wise

 

[last unicorn]

I was seriously thinking about starting exactly this thread today because I got my WITS singles yesterday and I was so amazed by the Live songs. I really had tears listening to Kite. Man, Bono's voice is so powerful, and the performance is emotional and really deep, and Edge's playing ... Kite and Zoo Station are really really great tracks.

 

[J_NP]

Anyone who didn't notice yet the differences between the guitar in Zoo and Vertigo , see these videos for example

Zoo NY , or if u prefer get ur zoo dvd , and put in 2:10 in this youtube video

Now look at a pro-recording of ZooStation from Brazil , put in 1:45
to see the difference between this version and ZooTV's

[majid23]

This is the best version of Kite ever!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

just ordered that single from amazon..wooohoo...!!!

Also ordered the All Because of You Import single (japan pressed) that has Miss Sarajevo (Live from Milan), A Man and a Woman, and She's a Mystery to Me (Live from Brooklyn).

And WITS (Pt 1)with Tower of Song

Can't get enough of them!

 

[coolian2]

I feel privileged to have heard Vertigo Kite live.

I guess i need not create a Vertigo Kite vs Elevation Kite thread.

 

[mads]

I just heard it. I cried.

 

[SpaceOddity]

I LOVE this version of Kite. I really liked it on the album, but this live version is just.... guh. It's definitely one of the high points of the Vertigo tour. Absolutely gorgeous.

 

[impy13]

I never much cared for Kite, but I really do like the version from the single. I could do without the Cate Blanchett deal though.
