The Fly
When I'm at work, due to the nature of the office environment, I listen to music with one headphone in. At this very moment I am listening to When I Look at the World with only my right headphone in, and for the first time I am realising that this should get an outing.
Full disclosure: I have always loved this song. But I have never considered it an appropriate live pick, because of the layered production on the track. Quite simply, I didn't think it was realistic that Edge could pull it off faithfully.
Listening to it through one channel, however, makes me realise that those layers of guitar aren't necessary to make it a good live song, and I think it could be perfect for the e-stage. It wouldn't challenge Bono's voice, the drums are quite simple yet a good tempo, the bass is driving and Edge could alternate between rhythm in the verses and the higher notes in the chorus.
As far as chucking out a new rarity, I would love to hear this played. I don't think it would take a lot of effort. I'd rather hear some Pop songs played before this, but I think that case has been prosecuted enough already.
