u2 11 o´clock tick tock - irving plaza

[@billdavies4276]

As someone lucky enough to see them perform this around the time it was released, this new version is good, but doesn’t come close to the original live version. This song was capable of making every hair stand up on my body - the pace, power and Edge’s two guitar solos ( especially the extended one at the end). This version is sung beautifully but is performed too slow. This song remains my favourite U2 track ever and one of my favourite singles ever released by any band or artist. Bought on release and still have the original copy.

[@powerchord1000]

The performance at redrocks of this song was amazing. It was played at a higher tempo and the solo from the edge was beautiful, captured that evening perfect.

[@joesoto690]

This is my favorite song from the fellas. I love the Red Rocks version!

[@uv77mc85]

Under a blood red sky version made me want to play guitar so bad

[@damomeade]

The live version from Boston Paradise club in ‘81 is THE version of this song. Just stratospheric. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5mQnGetbduSnKM

[@DaveSmith-zt9km]

Well said. The original version has to be one of their best ever, at every level.

[@josepaulovalentemonteiro1824]

Don’t need to compare … pure art is always pure art !!! Amazing !!! I love this song always!!!

[@JamesVibe]

I love the fact the camera is just above the crowd....makes for AWSOME LIVE concert feeling. Plus this band is just so amazing! Thx for posting it

[@TimU2Cool]

this is a fantastic version of a classic song.Expecially the Edge's lead work!! WOW!!!

[@thenamelessavenger]

I play guitar. 15 years ago the UABRS version was the first song I learned to play properly all the way through. I remember looking up transcriptions and spending hours getting it perfect. The song isn't hard but back then i was just a kid and not very good. I've spent half of my life with this song, and now with kids of my own these lyrics are like brand new. It's like it's grown up with me. ...and this version was always my favorite. That solo is a serious upgrade.

[@oreally8605]

There's only one performance that's the best June 5th 1983 Red Rocks.

[@alir.9894]

AGREED!!!

[@haydenwittig8877]

Yep that performance stands the test of time the guitar was otherwordly nothing heard or experienced today.

[@diegomoiola1972]

And some recordings from console in the US tour on small theatre's. Rare CD recs.

[@se77oo]

I was there that night, I was the last few to win a pair of tix off krock 92.3( miss that station it's gone now). Me and my brother were second in line when the doors opened getting there at 9am helped although the doors did not open till like 7pm we made the best of it leap froging to the bar on the comer threw out the day we got to meet the band as they came in side door for sound check they were nervous playing such a small club but man they rocked!!!!

[@AtomicPeace]

Thi ls was the song that hooked me up to U2 at the age of 13 in 1993.

[@Ziminho19]

i heard this song for the first time on their live album "under a blood red sky".now after 2 years i hear this song again,and i have to say wow.great performance

[@IlliniJake]

Nothing will ever equal the Red Rocks performance.

[@AchtungRose]

I love it, all of it!! call out call out your name, call out your name.. I love you Bono, I love U2

[@malcon222]

Adoro essa música de qualquer jeito! U2 eterno.

[@davidgoldman5392]

This is pretty damn good

[@gophils26]

Glad they played it, but they need to keep it at its original speed! Bring the UABRS version back, and we're talking about some epic music.

[@yostycuevas509]

Bono, yo creo que Dios te envió para dar felicidad a mucha gente!!!!!!, Gracias!!!!!!!

[@tomthefunky]

I'm born and raised in NY and Saturday 4/23/11 was the first time I ever saw a show at this venue. It might be the best place in NY for concerts. Holds about a thousand. The people who saw this gig must of had the best time imaginable. A guy told me the best place for sound is in the balcony section. There isn't a bad viewing spot in the whole place.

[@hasinurrahman4952]

The Edge's solo in this version is so so amazing !!

[@normau2445]

Sin duda eres y seguirás siendo el mejor mi BONO 💕

[@TheDoPau]

20yrs today. VIVA U2

[@1hewsonfan]

love this song!

[@19AD93]

I thought Bono's voice is changed in the years, but trhis sound olmost the same like in red rocks!! Like it:D

[@TheGavio93]

If only they play it on the 360 tour... That would have been so badass!!!

[@Vinc90]

Yyeeeaaaahhh: "This is for you Guggi"

[@keyehaw]

There is something harmonically interesting happening at 4:03. I think Bono resolved the tension in the progression, but the Edge wasn't done making it, well, tense.

[@TimU2Cool]

Adam does not get enough credit

[@regularU2fan]

I love this song, i like Larry, i don't belive Bono playin'...LOL This apperance rocks!

[@ezekiorage41]

agreed. 'larry' is infinitely badass.

[@miloxforman549]

Awesome!❤

[@arcyfatale]

WOW!!!!

[@quentindubois4657]

Meraviglioso

[@justinm7721]

Call out INSANE!

[@mdmomof7]

@spikelive Agree that it's a different vibe, much more a la If You Wear That Velvet Dress or An Cat Dubh. I like both versions, but this is the adult version. ;-)

[@juicefreak1969]

Under a blood red sky version kicks ass..but thAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO...THIS ISNT FAR OFF THOUGH...

[@TheGavio93]

yup

[@sonnyfitrianto6550]

11 o'clock tick tock...this is for u... :) ;) ;p

[@rager1969]

Good quality video. Was this a pro shoot?

[@TimU2Cool]

3:30 makes this song

[@juicefreak1969]

Blows red rocks out the door..

[@robharper7390]

This is when I realised the band I loved had lost it. One of the greatest songs delivered with NO PASSION OR ENERGY.

[@DDMCPHEE]

take it you haven't seen any performances from their recent gigs then? idiot.

[@robharper7390]

@@DDMCPHEE never missed a tour since 1983. Oh and having an opposing opinion doesn't make me an idiot but your response makes me believe you are an almighty one.

[@DDMCPHEE]

@@robharper7390 you think they lack passion and energy, yet still go to every tour. Tickets costing about £100 at the cheapest. Hmmm.... think my point still stands.

[@robharper7390]

@@DDMCPHEE I don't really care for your opinion. Who are you? Enjoy your day.

[@DDMCPHEE]

@@robharper7390 excellent.

[@TimU2Cool]

I play guitar also.I can play sbs,the whole song,but this would be impossible for me to play. congradulations

[@comp0stable]

Who did he dedicate it to? His best friend Guggi?

[@TheGavio93]

That could be because Bono was also playing guitar...

[@spikelive]

j love this song...but this new version is too slow!!

[@eRiBuSmAn]

inface the original single is about the same speed as this. so wtf are you on about gop?

[@lonkylaine]

The difference between being 23 and 40 years old.

[@jpjames1]

@Schaker1000 i know u would like Bono to go slow on u

[@Nigelxman]

Why does Bono pretend he can play guitar?

[@Resenbrink]

@kevsands - oh well sorry, just think it's a shitty version.

[@ricardod123]

Lacks the required 80s atmosphere. Still good however. Maybe it was the hairspray in the air.

[@jpjames1]

don't like when Bono sings slow

[@Resenbrink]

pretty poor version actually - tempo is all over the place....
