I have a recording of U2 covering "Sailing' by Rod Stewart (I know, I know. Rod Stewart )
But my question is: why did U2 choose to cover this song? (Actually the song itself isn't bad. And U2 actually does a pretty decent job at a live cover). The recording is from Sept. 2, 1997, Murryfield Stadium, Scotland. It's the only time U2 ever played this song live.
In fact, the majority of the song is sung by the audience...at the beginning Bono says "Okay, let's rock!" Followed by "I wanna sing this tonight for...." *unintelligible mumbling* <--what does he say here? Why is the audience singing along so much?
