Ultra Violet

[Convoy]

I was just wondering when was the last time this was played?

Dublin, August 28th, 1993. The "Zoo-Europa" show.

Yep, and then it was replaced (thank goodness!) by Lemon for the final leg of Zoo.

Not recently enough

If it was possible to have sex with that song I would.

 

[Queen Bee]

1993? What the hell? Why in God's name wouldn't U2 play that?

 

[theu2fly]

For the most part, Ultraviolet was used as a song after Macphisto made phone calls to celebrities. If it had come into play in Popmart, Elevation or even Vertigo, it would feel out of place. Though now with Zooropa and Achtung Baby tunes on Vertigo, it's possible.

Because there are two people on Earth who haven't heard "Pride" or "New Year's Day" yet, and by God, U2 will reach them even if they have to play those songs every damn night.

This song, like tryin to throw your arms around the world just would belong to this tour. I think it might be late now, maybe they´ve neither rehearsed these songs...........but they´d be great

 

[cobl04]

I get it. It was supposed to be sarcastic.

 

[Queen Bee]

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

just under the buzzer, too!

 

[trevgreg]

i doubt they'd need any more of the phone calls to start the song if they decided to do it again...

and yes, the song rocks.

If ever there was a song (apart from the rather crap WGRYWH) out of place on an album, this is it. It's load of nonsense.

This is why typhoon is cool.

Who the would prefer Lemon to Ultraviolet?

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

Ultraviolet out of place on AB??? it couldn't have a more appropriate home..it fits really well.

Lemon is one of their best songs, a classic even...so different from anything else they've done..its better than UV in my opinion, although the latter is still a great song.

[gareth brown]

Oh wait...everyone's being serious now.

Who the would prefer Lemon to Ultraviolet?

Yours truly. In my top 3, right behind Streets and Bad. UV is good, but it's not LEMON good.
