Wow, cool - thank you!
Random thoughts:
1. Bono sounds good!
2. Nice that he sang the extra verse that debuted at the Clinton concert in 2011. If SBS appears on the next tour, the addition could become permanent.
3. Poor Adam, effectively ignored on the side there. No wonder he looks cranky.

ONE love, blood, life
I wonder if they'll continue performing it with that verse.
That was a really cool rendition, interesting to see the song that best fit Larry's martial drumming style (& is so driven by it in most versions) be done with nothing but brushes on a single snare drum.

I hope the next tour gets this acoustic version.

U2 message for Iran - پیام یو۲ برای ایران - YouTube
In a message sent today to 'Bono' the highly praised singer of the pop group 'U2', Amir Hossein Jahanshahi, the Founder of Green Wave expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the continuous support that Bono and his Group have given to struggle of the Iranian nation for the liberation of their country.
This message was delivered in the aftermath of the release of a new musical video by this internationally renowned Group, which has now been made available to Iranian audiences via Amir Hossein Jahanshahi's Facebook and Youtube.
In his message to 'Bono", Jahanshahi has said:
"While expressing my thanks to you as a great international performer who has always been a bastion of support for the cause of struggling people and freedom loving movements everywhere, I am confident that your moral support for the Iranian nation will serve as an important impetus to further boost their efforts for the establishment of a civilized order in line with the aspirations of all Iranians. Your support comes at a time when Iranians more than ever are in need of international support and solidarity as they prepare themselves to confront the dictatorial regime governing our country at this time. Bono and U2 have demonstrated yet again their support and solidarity with the freedom loving people of Iran and the regional quest for democratic change."

SBS on a rooftop, because you know playing something slower & acoustic is the shortcut to making it that much more poignant and serious.
I can't tell how serious you're being, but I think they did a really good job making a poignant and serious SBS with this particular arrangement.
You don't understand what "acoustic" means, do you?

I think to start putting the focus back on the band proper so people think of music, rather than Bono (politics) or Bono and Edge (Spiderman)- when they think of U2. Ramping up for the new record.

Yes, because nothing puts the focus on a new record and off Bono and his politics like playing a 30 year old

no, but it puts the U2 name and brand back in the news.

Why don't they write and perform something new instead of a 30 year old song?

Probably because this song encapsulates the situation in torn countries better than most and making another one just as good would be extremely hard.
"How long must we sing this song?" covers the frustration of religious conflict perfectly.

They did SBS instead of a newer one because the campaign is "protest songs that have shaped history". Look at the songs on the list- it's all influential, mostly older ones, from the Ghost of Tom Joad and This Land is Your Land through Respect and Redemption song. A newer one wouldn't fit the bill.

The context doesn't work though. Nice try!
