Moment Of Surrender Appreciation Thread

Epic, beautiful song.

Curiously, since I read that they ***might*** play MOS on the tour, I keep hearing it in my head.

 

[popacrobat]

one of their best songs, period.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I am hoping that this is the new "Bad" on the tour.

 

[mikal]

one of their best songs, period.

 

[bazza]

They better damn well play it

 

[last unicorn]

^ Yep, they are rehearsing it every day now, I guess chances are good

 

[bazza]

How come we havent got any audio of it yet?

Me too!

 

[The Disciple]

the oh god could not deny her makes me envision him singing bad in rattle and hum

one of my favorite "moments" of any u2 album

Prob my single fav moment in a brilliant song.... along w/ the last chorus...

 

[Acrobat08]

not one of my favorites

 

[Gilead12]

This as a show closer.

In the same show with Bad possibly...

 

[last unicorn]

not one of my favorites

Great contribution to an APPRECIATION thread.

it's a shame to see Breathe top this song on the "best of 2000" poll. i just don't get how everyone isn't drooling over this song. it's amazing.

Me neither. To me this is a classic U2 song, up there with Bad as far as I'm concerned.

 

[as you wish16]

Quite simply the best song I've heard since "One." Just an absolutely amazing classic.

I guess it really is a hard song to sing live, it's in a lower key (from the video feed of Barcelona I)

He nailed it though, sounded superb. Better than on the album, IMO. It has always been too high for him, just like NLOTH.

Where's the full video, the only one I found is like 1:30?

 

[kassandra]

Last night we were eating in a very noisy diner, a small one and MOS came on. It was the first time I heard it outside of my home, and of all places, a noisy diner! We all stopped eating, it just a song you have to put your all in!

I've been looking also. Found one on You Tube from opening night.

YouTube - U2 Moment of Surrender (Barcelona 30th June 2009) 360º Tour Opening Night

 

[BGD75]

Well this is a song i have loved from the first moment I heard it.

 

[alanah]

Thank you, sue4u2!..I hadn't seen the full video yet.

 

[God Part III]

Staying away of the live version because I think it will ROCK, and I don't want to be spoiled, but I'm listening to the studio version right now

 

[ArthDent]

Utterly fantastic live!

the opening... WOW

 

[last unicorn]

Beautiful live!

so I went shopping around today for a bar fridge, something that will make my beer nice and cold within arms reach. So I went browsing around today at my local Lowe's Home Improvement store and low and behold, to my surprise they were playing Moment of Surrender on the local PA. Sure, it might have been satellite radio, but still, pretty cool to hear in a public venue.

And no, I didn't surrender any cash at the store. I saw a better fridge at my local Canadian Tire.

 

[The Disciple]

A friend texted me yesterday that it was playing in a "Publix" supermarket on their satellite radio station. Nice.

Oh great video
