It’s 2023 and there’s no more super bands. U2 was the last super band. I’m glad I was alive to see them

[chrishettinger]

I absolutely love that U2 turn and watch the orchestra, and then applaud them in the end.

The melody is so hauntingly beautiful, it gives me chills every time I listen to it. U2 4ever!

Oh my goodness! This was the most amazing version I have seen and heard of this song! On our anniversary a few years ago, my husband and I were fortunate enough to see U2 perform in Nashville at Vanderbilt stadium. This song was one of the encores. Bono called up a blind man who was a guitarist. I forgot the blind gentleman‘s name. But he played the guitar, dedicated the song to his wife and tears welled up in my eyes. My husband and I were on the first row of the second tier at the stadium. So we had plenty of room in front of us. We started to dance to this song and sing it to one another. Slowly but surely, several other couples joined us. It was a magical moment. Thank you for this incredible performance!

The recorded version it beautiful, but this live version is just amazing! It is so rich with all of the layers and instruments. Will always love U2.

I love the simplicity of this song. I’ve loved it since my first listen way back in 1989. Probably listened to it 5000 times since then. But it wasn’t until 6 months ago listening to Bono on a podcast I found out he actually wrote the song from his wife’s perspective talking to him — which if I’m honest made the lyrics makes so much more sense. My mind was blown. Brilliant song.

When I’m down, and when I need to cry, I put this on, close my eyes and let the tears flow. Thank you U2 for being there for me through my whole life. ❤️😎🎤

[NigelMacSweeney]

Exceptional band, song and music. U2, world’s best band.

[ThisGuyHasName]

I'm not gonna lie- Seeing U2 look at the orchestra playing... U2... was kind of bittersweet. I'm younger than this song, and I get the feeling most of the musicians accompanying them are in the same boat- playing with not your contemporaries, but your forbearers and playing THEIR PIECE, must be incredible, and U2 must have felt something special watching them close out the song in such a perfect way.

Ireland, the land of poets and musicians 🇨🇮

[petepass]

Probably the most under rated U2 songs ever. Watching and listening with an orchestra is sonic beauty.

[Sean-Ireland]

The way the 4 guys turn round listen to and applaud the beauty they are hearing from behind them says so much, that was stunning.

[arthurtelf]

Larry Mullin Jr. the CONSTANT beat and solid time keeper for U2...one of the most under appreciated drummers in rock.

[robertraya]

Dear person reading this, you have good taste in music.

[Ccortanaa]

My god this is beautiful. One of my favorite U2 songs and they did this live with perfection, almost brings me to tears.

[onesojourner]

One of the most distinguishable voices and guitar sounds in rock history.
Admiration from Mexico!
