U2 better get on the ball and release their album version quickly otherwise this one will become a fan favorite.

I really like this....but also find it strange to listen to. Any one else find it odd to hear a clean "studio" cover version of a U2 song by a tribute band that you have only heard a muffled concert version of by the real U2?

I'm with you. They did a great job - no question. However, I'm still getting used to the original! To hear a cover already - a studio cover of an unreleased live song at that - is, well, "odd". I'm wildly impressed that these talented musicians chose to cover this song, but it seems like they are a bit premature. Let U2 have a chance at it first. If this cover catches on, it could be seen that U2 are covering them! LOL!

Umm...couple months old but worth the shout out.

This cover just now totally changed my opinion on the song. Sounds so much better in a studio rather than on poor audio clips.
