[valentina]

This forum is a clear example of HOW MANY beutiful songs U2 have!!!

I think it's one of the reason why I like them so much!

Another song to add to the list: "Dancing shoes"

You're welcome. I definitely will post more.. maybe give people a week to access these and then I'll put more up.

Awesome! I'd never heard "Alone in the Light" before.

Thank you so much.

You said Livluv put up some songs too, is that on her link on page 4 of this thread? There's only one song up there at the moment right??

Right now my favorite rare song is "Morning Child" on the Achtung Baby outtakes, which eventually became "Who's Going To Ride Your Wild Horses."

Of the songs mentioned here, I especially love "Your Blue Room."

 

[kennerado]

Take You Down from the Achtung Baby out-takes it really awesome. It has the guitar solo from The Fly and Bono sings his own backup!

 

[madonna's child]

A Celebration
Love Comes Tumbling
Can't Help Falling in Love

 

[U2aremyfriends]

I can't pick one, but my fav are Summer Rain, Lady with the Spinning Head and the Everlasting Love cover.

 

[angel_of_L.A.]

My favorite would have to be Spanish Eyes, Dancing Barefoot, Everlasting Love, Montgomery's Visit, and of course....








PETE THE CHOP!!!!

"Boomerang II"

me too, I was just listening to it when I read this.


Whoa....5 songs! Thank you oliveu2cm.

 

[U2girl]

OK, here's a couple I'd consider not-so-popular. I'll change them in a few days or so. Let me know what else you want in there.

On this link, I heard American Prayer, but a different version than the Mandela koncert.

 

[RickFly]

ill probably change my mind tomorrow but here are just a few.

lady w/ spinning head
slow dancing (stay single version)
where did it all go wrong
always

 

[silenus]

"So Cruel" from the Hershey Tapes

 

[neutral]

I know this is a little old but there's a lot of good stuff in this one so I wanted to just continue it....


Someone posted some great stuff on usenet I'd never heard and I'm finally getting a chance to listen. I had to add

North and South of the River
Where did it all Go Wrong
Everlasting Love
Slow Dancing


North and South of the River is beautiful, I can't believe I'd never heard this.

Anyone else have new favorites?

 

[greety]

Glad you bumped this thread again neutral.
I wanted to ask Olive or LivLuv if they would like to put up some other rarity on their links. please
I know I've heard a live version of Slow dancing but i don't have it and would like to hear that one again or anything else would do just fine

 

[OzAurora]

I want to add another fave rare song,

the live version of Hawkmoon 269 from Lovetown- so much better than the original

 

[neutral]

From the Sydney TV special right? I just watched that, Hawkwoon was quite good

I cannot believe I didn't use to like this song

 

[trabantland]

Race Against Time

Good stuff. Thanks! I especially like "Where Did it all go wrong".

 

[djerdap]

North and South of the River - live, Omagh Tribute.
One of the most emotional songs I ever heard.

 

[The Sage]

I can't remember if i've posted in this thread before but anyway I love Love Comes Tumbling, Bass Trap & The Three Sunrises...however i've been on a mission to find more U2 rarities & b-sides (apart from those on the best ofs) for ages and i've failed miserably

 

[TheDaddy]

Stateless

 

[gareth brown]

Sweet...these songs that are readily available from any record store be it on LP or deleted single sound exquisitely rare....

Mine would be...

Heaven and Hell
The Dream is Over
Pete the Chop [Original- not 'Treasure (Whatever happened to...)']
Magic Carpet
Untitled Instrumental (what it's called on the Interference Lyrics section- Track 6 on Disc 3 of the Salom? Outtakes, I believe)

That's all for now...

 

[hitman71]

Lady with the spinning head..Why will they not play that live?!?! and......love comes tumbling. Man that is a phenominal song!

Someone earlier mentioned SLUG off of PASSENGERS. That would be a cool song to open with.

 

[jick]

Rare as in non-single, its a toss up between So Cruel, Ultraviolet and Red Hill Mining Town.

Rare as in b-side, it would have to be Everlasting Love.

Rare as in just a one-shot live performance never done again, then North And South Of The River from the Omagh Bombing Tribute.

Cheers,

J
