This is one of the best live songs that U2 do. Even on Boy Electric Co deserves 10 out of 10.

people gave this 10/10?

you're basically willing to say it's at least equal to their best song ever?

 

[SeattleVertigo]

It's in their top 20 or so for me. Any song I consider truly excellent gets 10, great gets 9, pretty good 8, and so on and so forth down to Inside Out and Elvis Ate America on zero.

10, no questions asked, their best song until either new year's day or any number of tuf songs

[The Sad Punk]

[Yahweh_OMG]

10, no question

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Notches up 8 for me. Fantastic live.

 

[AndrewCowley]

10. Tragically underplayed over the years (like a lot of their back catalogue) however we saw the true power of this song on the Vertigo tour. It is a song that always sound so fresh. And any song that unleashes Edge is a major +1 for me.

 

[intedomine]

Never understood it's high regard around here. Aside from ATAP, maybe my leats favourite track on the BOY album. Not to say it's a bad song though.

 

[mellow moog]

10 absolutely!!!!
As stated earlier. The Edge is unleashed on this song.
