ONE love, blood, life
I have meaning to post about this for a long time, and a conversation I had in another thread last night reminded me of it so I'm finally doing it.
I have always noticed this difference between the way U2 performed 'One' during ZooTV and they way they performed it on every subsequent tour after that. It has to do with the 'and I can't be holding on to what you got when all you got is hurt' line. During ZooTV, the melody Bono sang for that line was identical to the album version of 'One'. But the melody he sang for that line during Popmart/Elevation/Vertigo is different. I have taken the time of making a snippet of this line from the official release of the song from each tour...these are small files so they'll download in a second. I'm just curious if:
A: You perfer the ZooTV version or the Popmart/Elevation/Vertigo version
B: If the change makes any difference to you at all
C: If you have noticed this before I brought it up
D: If you have any idea why he changed the way he sang it
Without further ado...
