IMHO, every song on the Under A Blood Red Sky EP is an improvement over its studio version. Bad is another song that is better live, as well.

OTOH, their live versions of Pride (In The Name Of Love) and nearly all of the songs on The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby albums are not as good as their studio versions.

Regardless, U2 always puts on a great show, so I will be there!

So true! I've seen them live, as well ...

Go back to the place where the music began.

Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming with Dave Letterman, an Original documentary special, is streaming March 17 on #DisneyPlus.

U2’s Bono and the Edge make a return to Dublin with Dave Letterman, reflecting on their journey as musicians and friends.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that ...

In addition to the other artists shown in the 'Songs you like or love' thread, Bono & The Edge appeared on Spectacle as well. They performed a mashup of Pump It Up / Get On Yer Boots with Costello & The Imposters and an acoustic version of Stay (Faraway, So Close), the latter of which feels very much in the spirit of the A Sort Of Homecoming trailer ...

Stay (Faraway, So Close) is low-key one of my favorite songs of theirs, along with Ultraviolet (Light My Way). Both are absolutely brilliant compositions.

Agreed. I'd add Walk On, Red Hill Mining Town, One Tree Hill, Bad, and '40' to that, as well.

I don't get why that U2 special is not on Netflix when Letterman has a series on Netflix?

I assume it's U2's show with their option to decide distribution, not Letterman's. He's just hired talent.
