I can see not liking one or two live versions......but to have it the other way around?? To only like one single live version??

[Idun]

[coolian2]

Erm.......no

 

[gman]

As a matter of intrest........have you seen them live? Would you not bother going to see them?

I think u2 themselves may be confused by your dislike of their live songs. Live (for me) is what u2 is about

 

[blm]

Have you seen Slane?

OMG- that should definitely change your mind.

The "tweeking" is what makes their songs so awesome.

 

[flybabe]

Ok Fine

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

one less person the rest of us will have to fight with for tickets next tour

There are some songs I don't care for live, or some songs that I think aren't as good live as they used to be. BTBS, for instance, hit its peak on Popmart for me. Overall, though, seeing U2 perform is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

 

[Axver]

Have you seen Slane?

If that's all they've seen, that would explain the original post, as that's the worst of U2's live releases.

Now, in light of Under A Blood Red Sky or anything from the UF, JT, and Lovetown Tours, the original post is completely lacking in justification or accuracy.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

didn't Bono say once "Live is where we live" or something like that? Seeing the band live is 100 times better then listening to the studio version in most cases. There are a few exceptions where it seems like they just kind of go through the motions with some songs they have played a million times over, but generally the song takes on a whole new life on stage.

 

[flybabe]

yall r right,I think i have found a new love for live U2
because that is the only way i`d see them,at a concert DOH!

 

[Peterrrrr]

The only songs I think is better on studio is WOWY, One, MOTD, UF, Stay, Lemon, First Time, Sweetest Thing...

Try Bad and SBS from 1986-06-15 - East Rutherford
One Tree Hill, AIWIY, WTSHNN from 1989-12-29 - Dublin
TTTYAATW 1992-06-15 - Rotterdam
SBS from 1992-08-16
Bad and MW from 1993-08-28 - Dublin

There are alot of songs that are better

 

[Midwestgirl]

That's the beauty of the music "live" It shows their true talent

 

[AtomicBono]

U2 are cool live

I can't agree with you on that but your avatar is amazing.

 

[schnumi]

Most of U2's songs actually improve live.

So no i can't agree with you, U2 is one of the best live bands on earth.

I see she just changed it! The earlier one was Bono going "Hai plebans". First I thought you were referring to that one!

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]
