That little guitar embellishment on Elevation versions of "Stuck in a Moment"...

would make the studio version so much better. It's the smallest thing in the world, but my ears just want to hear that guitar part just before the second verse. I know people rag on the song, but I do actually enjoy it. It just feels empty between verses.

Do you want to post a link or youtube so people know what you are talking about?

I've always said the same thing... if U think about it, it's been played that way since...

 

[djgeeree]

pretty sure he's talking about the guitar at about 1:37 here....this part is absent on the studio version

I think Stuck is a beautiful song, I just dont think it has ever been treated properly live (I want the full band! I go to a U2 concert to see U2, not Bono and The Edge just playing a few chords) or in studio (it is way over produced with the synth trumpets)

I do love the Edge's falsetto any day, however.

Yep, that's it'. Perfection.

That little guitar part sounds pretty good on the International Radio Session recording as well (live but with no audience, and Edges guitar is boosted through the whole song, so you can hear exactly what he's doing, completely brought forward from the studio version)

They can never top the slane version, it's perfect. I always have that little guitar thing at 1:39 in my head when I listen to another version of the song. It's so small yet makes the song so much better.

Studio recordings are seldom as good as live versions (IMO). In saying that,for the Please single, they took the "solo" from the live version and used it in the single version

BTW...i love this song!

 

[monsieur fly]

The full-band Stuck In A Moment has a slightly Dylaneque feel which I rather like and yes, the guitar part worked well on Elevation. Why they want to play it acoustically, I don't know.

 

[LemonMelon]

I can't stand the studio version of Stuck, but it is a bit better live full band, and the acoustic arrangement is lovely.

 

[digitize]

I love the jazzy rhythm of the song that's really there in all versions of the song, but was especially present on the Elevation Tour. I wish Bono's lyrics were a bit... better, though.

 

[kennerado]

the "international radio session" version is a pretty good version of it because its virtually a studio quality version.

 

[alanah]

Oh yeah..you're right, the live studio version from this promo is very good too.

Where might one find this version?
