War Child
Remember when this was "leaked out" after the Elevation tours during an episode of 60 Minutes:

After so many listens of the current Original of the Species, I think I still prefer this older version. It's weird because we're only allowed two lines from the chorus, yet I think it's superior to the current version. I think The Edge's guitar stands out more and is actually better. To top it off, I love the slight difference in Bono's melody. I would like this version released in full as a demo version or something.
I also believe this version highlights the Beatlesque-ness of this song (there was a thread that asked how OotS sounds like a Beatles song).
