Walk on... live, single, or album...?

[Convoy]

I was just wondering which version of 'Walk on' the most. Personally, I have to say that the album version to me is the best. For some reason its just so much more magical then any of the other versions. There is just something about it that really gets to me that the live and single version can't match. How about you?

 

[IWasBored]

that's a tough one.

The album version has the reassuring "home verses" while the single version sounds more polished....crisp (Hallelujah's). The live version combines the both of them. I personally can't go without either part so I vote for the live version.

 

[tiny dancer]

For me definitely the live version.

 

[senrab]

Album, I like the echo on Bono's vocals.

 

[Bono's shades]

Definitely the live version for me!

Live........

 

[martha]

Single. That piano, those hallelujahs...

 

[AchtungJedi]

Live, and specifically the Grammy version of it. Arguably the best performance ever of it.

 

[arw]

Live.

I'm obsessed with live U2 but I will say that I really enjoy the ablum version. I'm not a big fan of the single version and the hallelujahs. Also, isn't there less guitar in that? I haven't listened to it in a long time so I don't remember. But I thought that was the reason I didn't like it as much.

Walk On...Tribute to Heroes...incredible

oh...and the live version 10/13 Hamilton, ON with the memorial screen...indescribable

 

[typhoon]

Live. I don't like the album version's intro or end. The single version is too restrained. It really comes alive live.

 

[A Maaaaaaan]

The live version!

 

[U2girl]

Album.

 

[rockonedge]

Single. That piano, those hallelujahs...

Its all about the piano bit for me, and the hallelujahs. Although i do like the album version too, especially after they played it on Alias that one time, it made me go pull out my ATYCLB again..but im still mostly for the single.

And don't even get me started on tribute to heroes. Just beautiful. Seeing that on tv finally made me go get my first u2 album, and i've been off and running since!

Cool. Very cool!

 

[bono_man2002]

walk on live at the 2002 grammys is my fav

 

[Kariann]

Man this is a toss up because I flat out love the song and all versions really. The one that I listen to the most is the album version so I will go with that one.

There?s a new Walk On Mix at http://www.johndaly.dna.ie/
U2 - Walk On (Single Version and Live Boston mix).mp3

 

[obedi]

walk on

the album version is good... but the live version is best... especially the live at Slane Castle (Ireland) >>>"cause u know it was dedicated to Bono's father (Bob Hewson) who passed away few days ago >>> u c >>it was great and dramatic.....so walk on and leave it behind!!!!

 

[Dorian Gray]

I always thought the single version (godrich mix) had more guitar throughout.


Tough call between it, and the live version.

 

[SkeeK]

def the live version. it just brings it all together and has way more energy.
