WOW!!

Imagine Love Is Blindness, with that speed, but with U2 and an Edge solo at the end.
I'd really love that.
 
It's been covered numerous times on these type of shows through the years and the biggest throw-off everytime is the horrendous backing track. Either use the original or don't bother at all. Instead, everytime the shows opt for this awful cheap karaoke sounding backing-track.

More to the point however, based on the several covers I'm referring too, including Chris Martins, it's become more and more evident just how difficult a song Beautiful Day is to cover, surprisingly. It's one of them which suits Bono's voice and only his voice. Any other attempt always sounds either flat, out of tune or karaoke.

Desire and One have been played on the last 2 Voice shows. Neither one of them was great and it does make me really appreciate how good U2 is as a band.
