U2 are rare in that most of their songs sound as good, if not better live than they do in the studio. Pride is one exception to this rule. No live version I've ever heard comes even close to packing the punch of this incredibly tight studio version.

100% . The studio version is majestic and powerful. The liver version is limp in comparison. Specifically because of Edge’s guitar. Whatever he did on the recording - he’s never been able to come close to reproducing it live.

Traditionally first albums are done on the cheap and fast . They are recorded with the intention of sounding like a live band. Over the years, the band become better musicians and try new ways to perform a song. When you become more established, you perform in better venues with better PA system and Amps and crew , likewise , a period of 2-5 years could see massive technological changes in recording equipment and techniques

Apparently Edge used the LP Custom to perform the song "Indian Summer Sky" during the Unforgettable Fire Tour. Also as well, during the performance of "I Will Follow" at Radio City Music Hall in New York (03/12/84) he threw his iconic Explorer to the ground to stop a fight and broke the neck. I am convinced he used the LP Custom for the rest of the US tour in December as there is a photo of him using it at a gig in San Francisco (15/12/84): www.u2gigs.com/cover/gallery.php?display=Audio-Covers%2F1984-1985%20-%20The%20Unforgettable%20Fire%20Tour%2F04%20-%201984%20-%204th%20Leg%20-%20North%20America%2F1984-12-15-SanFrancisco-SanFrancisco-Front.jpg

I always thought Edge used the white guitar (forgot the name) shown in the video for Pride to record the song? Perhaps I'm wrong I suppose, I just remember Edge using a similar guitar during opening night of PopMart where they played Pride and people were saying it sounded just like the recorded guitar.

This is also a bonus documentary on the “U2 GO HOME” DVD. For those who don’t know of it, it was two separate shows also filmed at Slane Castle during the Elevation tour in 2001. The first show was on August 24 only one day after Bono’s father Bob Hewson’s funeral. The second show was on September 1 only hours after The Republic of Ireland beat Holland in a 1 to 0 soccer game that sent them on to the World Cup Finals, wisely U2 had the second half of the game on the big screen as the crowd awaited their homeland band to play. For those who have never watched it, In my opinion it’s their best live show ever caught on film 🇮🇪!!!! But sadly not two full weeks later the attacks on America happened in New York, The Pentagon & fallen aircraft in Pennsylvania. It even impacted that tour with the band postponing several shows to offer help any way they could!!!!!

There are two things that hit me watching this again after so many years. There's the perverse nostalgia that comes from looking at something I _loved_ on first through fiftieth viewing back in the day, because I was less a U2 fan and more a proselytizing acolyte. If you had said to me from 1981 to 1991 that one day I would fall heavily out of love with U2, I probably wouldn't have let you finish your sentence. The second thing is something I felt back then but didn't want to admit. Namely, that they were all acutely aware of the camera and behaved accordingly, Bono especially. I really do think that Bono started heavily crafting his public image very early on, between October and War. I've often asked myself what happened to make me fall out of love with U2. There's not one single reason. Part of it was the first sideways step, as I saw it, from Achtung Baby to Zooropa. They had been inventive and evolving to that point.

I think I was 20 when "Auctung baby" came out, and like all the other records it was a song track to my life at that time, even Zooropa I feel is underrated, Becuase the song Zooropa is U2 stepping forward and using the great new gear that was coming out at that time that's still the staple of Keyboards and effects...and "Dirty day" was a deep dark song unlike any other U2 song ever. and that creepy bassline Clayton always brings to the table as most of all the songs built off his basslines he comes up with, from New Years Day" to "Silver and Gold" which the songs I normally like are the songs people skip, on all, their records and all my favorite artist its always the songs that don't make it I fell in love with, Silver and Gold is in my top 10 U2 song's... I always go back to watch it off "Rattle and Hum" which was mostly songs leftover from Joshua Tree, because all 3 are standing in a row and the bassline rocks so hard it makes you bend at the knees without control. And the picture of them in a row rocking there knee's.But, I know where you're coming from, the older kid that passed on "boy" to me on cassette, His generation which most likely is your's, he graduated in 86' that generation mostly didn't follow U2 after Joshua Tree and went Guns and Roses -Metallica.while the ones who followed them went into Cure-Pixies-Smiths-Soundgarden-to grunge, as for kids who grew up surfing already had Nirvana's Bleach and the Pixies "Come on Pilgram" and were also following the Cure from '80s from "Seventeen Seconds" and The Smiths,I grew up on Long Island both my parents were USAF R&D and we moved near the top-secret Grumman base in Calverton, which I would do 16 years in myself but in a 1N field, but I remember being 17 or 18 and listing to the Pixies "Bassanova" while my mom and I went to the mall and she pointing out to me that the song "The happening" or Ranch 51, was about another top-secret military base, which coming from your mom is always FN cool. and I was like a "hero" for showing everybody what the song was about and trying to find books in the library which set off red flags because we would never be caught in the Library, which led to everyone has the one crazy bitch that works in the Library say after we explained what we were looking for"Maybe your mom should learn to keep her rap hut" and it was o lol as we all went back to my house that day 8 or 9 of us and waited for my mom to get home and when she did we told her and she said "ok ok I get, go outside" lol but we all knew my mom so at 7:15 we all sat near the Library and sure enough here comes my mom in her BDU's with her golden oak leaf and her sidearm... I think they just switched from 1911 to the M-9, and we would after that smoke in the Library in the back on the second floor without bother lol

I think what happened - certainly for me - is that they tried too hard to stay relevant. OK - there's only so much you can do with a Strat, a couple of Memory Mans (men?) and an AC30 - but the constant attempts to stay relevant ended up watering down what really always mattered most with U2 - the raw passion. And at some point you have to accept that you aren't going to keep bringing in the kids and just stick with the fans you have. We all lose that passion eventually, and I can't chide them for that. But in some ways it would have been better if they'd burned out when they discovered irony with "Achtung". I've been with them since 82/3 when I was about 12-13 and first getting into music that wasn't Abba and the Beatles. Took some time off with Rattle and Hum, which was a musical fiasco to my ears (the irony being that this was probably them at their most honest, see previous point). Achtung is a masterpiece that got me back on board. Still kept going to the gigs. Still bought the records out of habit - even took my kids to see them a couple of times. But the last straw for me was the 360 tour. All style, no substance. Still buying Bono's autobiography though. Still have plenty of respect for their legacy, their intelligence. But what they're doing these days is just not doing it for me.

The downfall happened after Zooropa. It wasn't as strong as Achtung Baby, but that was the last time when U2 made classic songs. They've made something like 5 very good songs since then, but that's not a very impressive number considering it's been 30 years...

I love this record. Their creativity was great in this time period, almost a stream of consciousness flowing throughout. This was the first tour I saw them in Chicago at the U I C Pavilion.

It is a fantastic album period...the period that gave us War, TUF, Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum and Achtung Baby. An 8 year period or so? Though the Pop/ATYCLB period was fantastic, too. And the Songs of Experience period seems to be ready to drop as the best period since the Pop Period. The Boy period was good, too, but October lowers the period rating overall. I 100% agree that this War/Unforgettable Fire/Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum/Achtung Baby period is the best

I think if you watched this documentary you would understand this album a whole lot more. Very insightful. Great album that fed from the murkiness of an old castle and maybe a little from 80s Ireland which was a pretty dark place. However its a really enjoyable album with a sincere maturity and depth especially from a 20 something Bono. Some of my favourites on here never bettered. I think U2 should record their next album in an Irish castle to try and recapture the magic which was clearly evident here.

I think that's the key difference between U2 and oasis...the band work to the very last minute to make the record the best it can possibly be When you listen to Noel and Liam talk about how they recorded oasis albums...I get the sense all of the creativity in terms of crafting the lyrics, music and melody was done by Noel who probably spent hours perfecting the songs in his head. Liam mentioned he prefers to get in and out of the studio quickly...but to achieve audible genius the graft clearly has to be done.... At the same time you can overdo and over analyse things to the nth degree to the point it becomes paralysing so striving for that middle ground must be difficult for musical geniuses....
