I'm sure most people will agree that ALL U2 songs sound better live than on the album (maybe a few exceptions like GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS)
I was thinking about songs that sound 10times better live than on the album. those songs that just need to be heard live. The songs were Bono adds a verse or the band tweaks it to make it sonund even better than the album. I mean very few bands are talented or confident enough to do that. I just love the little things they add to the beginning or end to make the song EVEN BETTER.
Here's my list:
- With or Without you (that last verse they played on the Rattle and Hum movie... "...we'll shine like stars in the summer night...")
- The Fly (just sounded so great last tour, i'm not even sure what they did, but it was much better... some cool intro)
- Streets (they always add something at the end and the energy level at a live show is so much stronger than the album version)
- Exit (never saw it live, but on I think the version on Joshua Tree is allright, but the version from Rattle and Hum is OUTSTANDING!)
- Until the end of the world (before last tour I liked this song for it's lyrics, but after seeing it LIVE I was blown away by the whole thing.... Edge's guitar)
- Kite (Acousitc....)
- Desire (I saw it in Boston 6/6/01... "Boston is the town I love.... Boston it the town I love....
- I Will Follow (maybe it's the crowd, but it always feel that Bono is updated the lyrics and it just sounds so Fresh)
That's my short list. Which songs do you think?
