Which performance was this? Top of the Pops?

 

[oliveu2cm]

no, it was BBC Live, 2000 last year.. I know they're on the internet somewhere, I can put them up if my Ftp is agreeable...... it was if not the first, one of the first, times they played any of the atyclb songs. they did BD, Elevation, Stuck, She's a Mystery and I think also IWF. it's incredible!!!

Sounds great. I've never heard them perform Mystery. Don't worry about FTP (least not on my account - my computer is useless in this regard).

I agree olive, that is a great performance, it was on October 23th 2000. I didn?t go to work that morning only to hear their presentation thru the web. I love the videos as well, an static camera, it?s like you?re watching a rehearsal. Makes me feel like a fly on the wall

Do you have them?

Kieran, some of the mp3s can be found in in this french site: http://www.u2achtung.com/
Click on Media, then Audio, there are BD, Elevation and Mystery Girl, too bad they don?t have Stuck, one of the best versions IMO. And New York just rocks. They didn?t play I Will Follow though.

yep, aside from Man Ray..it was the first accurate glimpse at what the songs would sound like live..and I do remember having the radio on all morning to catch a glimpse of New York especially and Stuck In A Moment which still is the definative live version for me..Bono's opening wail seems to go on and on..likewise New York with the solo work by Edge at the end was pretty new back then and a welcome suprise...a must download..

I got them from U2log ages ago, I don't think they are still avaiable. They are very simple, the quality are not that good, but I like them a lot, it's like the band was not aware of the filming, like a rehearsal indeed. I have all 5 videos and I can try to send them to you thru e-mail or AIM. Feel free to contact me, if you want to.
