It seems as though When I look at the World will be another U2 song never to be played "live". Do I think it should have been played?.....maybe, but here are a couple of other songs that I have noticed reading through posts that people have wanted to hear badly but U2 had some problems with.
-Red Hill Mining Town-everyone has heard the video story and there attempts to release it as a single. People have blamed this songs death on Bonos voice. I think that the song could have had the same problems that plagued the band during Staring at the Sun, which was timing. Perhaps if they tried an acoustic version it could work!
-Acrobat-a lot of people want to hear this song I guess for its statement of not having the basterds grind you down. I heard the soundcheck from Hershey and I guess that when the band did its phase of playing the whole album first, Acrobat could have been the weakest live. I, like many of you, would love to hear it.
-Do you feel loved-is this song too generic? In one U2 book I have the author calls this song a potential center piece to their live set?.....What planet was he on?! i have only heard it a couple of times and the wrap was that bono couldn't sing it in the right key?...but I don't remember for sure.
-Drowning Man-I think that this song is one of the most underrated of all time. A sweet song that Bono and Edge would do great at the tip of the heart. Maybe they never did it because the violin in the song played such a central role.
These are just a some of the songs but most people seem to mention these in particular.
