U2 - Please acoustic (live from Elevation Miami)

U2 - Please acoustic (live from Elevation Miami) 2.12.2001.

[@d-wreckb-check1691]

I hate how Pop is maligned, there’s not one bad track, it’s a bad ass album, I freaking love it, it’s consistently the U2 album I return to most. And this is my favourite track from it. ❤️✌🏼

[@u2htdaab]

Wow I cried the first time I heard this version...absolutely to die for. From Edge's gutiar to Bono's wailing and his little speech...how can these guys be so amazing?

[@brettscott8288]

Gift from the Father.

[@Nuninni]

Pop is called underrated only because it was poorly promoted, otherwise it would be up there, a masterpiece aswell. As for this version of Please...just amazing

[@joenagle2595]

I don't understand why people say it's underrated..pretty up there for an album that went to number 1 in both the UK and the US.... maybe because it sounded very different...very new in comparison to the usual U2 maybe

[@walterbrob]

the worlds greatest rock band

[@soberek]

This version is soooo unique... Very similar to the acoustic version of Ground Beneath Her Feet - Exact Same Feel, PERFECTion. On Your knees people.

[@brettscott8288]

Amen ... praise to the Father ❣️

[@u2boy16]

this is the best version of please ever played :D

[@sebastianu2]

POP=masterpiece

[@62BONO]

this song make me crazy, it's so nice, mysterious, wonderful best song from the album.

[@nicolaasvandenbroek3782]

oh god this song is so epic....

[@BadMofoMusicCritic]

How can only two musicians sound so perfect? Wow

[@briansith]

this song is just as powerful as sunday bloody sunday!!!

[@guevaraz101]

One of my Favorite song form the Pop Album..And to find is a acoustic version, gotta love it...

[@CRAZYGROUCHO]

IF WE TALK ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTAL TECHNIQUE IS SURE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF ROCK BAND THAT GIVE MUCH MORE THAN U2. BUT BONO IS A POET,HIS WORDS AND LYRICS ARE REALLY IMPRESSIVE , AND TOUCH ME INSIDE THE HEART AND SOUL MAKING ME TO MOVE. HE MAKES ME TO INTEREST TO MANY THEMES SUCH AS GOD,SUFFERING OF PEOPLE, WARS,POLITICS, LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP. ALL ARGUMENTS THAT IT DISPLEASES TO ME TO SAY THAT WE UNDERRATE AT TODAY

[@maebtadhg8307]

In 2024 it’s still relevant 🇵🇸

[@boje19]

great speech, and also great song. i never realy liked this song, but when i saw this live performance i just had to change my mind, i just love it and always will! you're doing a great job! go on!

[@Wickersham78]

Check out the live version from the 1997 MTV Music Awards. Powerful!!!

[@chonburi2222]

WAR and the Unforgetable fire the best albums for me!

[@NikCom1]

GOD is LOVE

[@u2boy16]

this is the best live version of please that they ever are going to play

[@CastletoKarma]

This is nice! Havnt seen or heard it b4.

[@keithkearney5197]

One of their best songs and performances

[@user-we8xh4ex6e]

The way edge harmonized this version is outstanding

[@cantsingbutgotsoul]

God is not Hate sooo true....

[@SteelHurleys]

great song, much deeper than sunday b sunday. classic tune.

[@Stratman389]

this version is intense

[@leightonratcliffe9938]

Totally agree. Pop and Achtung Baby were the best U2 albums, in my opinion. This version is very good but I cannot believe they dont play the '97 version and Love is Blindness any more, yet Stuck in a Moment is heralded as a classic.

[@lucasphillips2177]

stuck in he moment is a classic, but they gotta play those too. The context behind stuck is very sad, an imaginary convo with Michael hutchenence

[@Ziminho19]

freat version.i never thought that `please`can be played wit an acoustic guitar.sounds really good.

[@UNDERDOWN4711]

The clicking noise is what either Bono or The Edge are hearing in their in ear monitors, it gives them a tempo to play to, it is used by all live bands these days,when people make recordings like this from live concerts they tap into the in ear monitor channels and record them instead. Thats why the sound quality is so good. I hope that answers the qustions about the clicking sounds!!!!

[@thagoff]

Please and exit are u2’s best songs.

[@gastigaa]

@ wrightherewrightnow9 I agree with you! Pop is my favourite U2 album, and I think the songs are truly terrific! It's an underrated masterpiece.

[@US2ROCK]

I love these guys ... the band U2 and Dog Savanna are the bands that I like to hear! Viva Rock!

[@carlos002nz]

Impresionante. Siempre me ha gustado este tema. Thank you very much indeed.

[@miqueiasmichelon8290]

I like this U2. Much simpler, honest than today's. Bono, at least.

[@King_Pooki]

What amazing acoustic version of please i've never heard it that way thanks for the video!!!

[@splorenzo]

undescribable beautiful and true...my heroes 4 ever and always...

[@77skip]

I miss more lives of this song

[@ColorsBright]

Seems like there will not be any POP TRACKS on the 360 Tour.. Shame... I love POP one of my favorite albums.

[@ferusfc]

U2 GRANDES!!!

[@Latixo7]

great version :-) wish to be there Thanks for sharing

[@Robecks237]

what-a-performance!!!! just incredible thanks!!!

[@6ofThe7Continents]

God bless the person who posted this. Thank you.

[@TheMattybono]

Love this song but never heard it acoustic before...brilliant!! Cheers for postin it :) Bono ad-libs alot live but think I heard "Show me a sign" too.

[@takulin]

So you never knew love Until you crossed the line of grace. And you never felt wanted Till you'd someone slap your face. So you never felt alive Until you'd almost wasted away. You had to win, you couldn't just pass The smartest ass at the top of the class Your flying colours, your family tree And all your lessons in history. Please, please, please Get up off your knees. Please, please, please, please, oh yeah. And you never knew how low you'd stoop To make that call And you never knew what was on the ground Till they made you crawl. So you never knew that the heaven You keep you stole. Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes, Your stick-on tattoos now they're making the news Your holy war, your northern star Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car. Please, please, please Get up off your knees. Please, please, please Leave me out of this, please. So love is hard And love is tough But love is not What you're thinking of. September, streets capsizing Spilling over down the drains Shard of glass, splinters like rain But you could only feel your own pain. October, talk getting nowhere. November, December; remember We just started again. Please, please, please Get up off your knees, yeah. Please, please, please, please, ah. So love is big Is bigger than us. But love is not What you're thinking of. It's what lovers deal It's what lovers steal You know I've found it Hard to receive 'Cause you, my love I could never believe.

[@cbono69]

Amen...God bless friend..Christopher

[@an2drew3me4lo5]

god is love¡¡¡¡¡

[@Alfgunnarp]

Love this song!

[@bonesintube]

I love the song and if you love it too and want to go straight to the music, it's at 2:18

[@luieu2]

Awsome version .

[@fc7alibi]

Amazing... Thanks for uploading this. Surprisingly good quality!

[@Ziminho19]

*great version

[@TheUncleJane1]

che bella cristo santoooooooo

[@philipbrister]

So awesome

[@markmadsen6828]

Don't we all lack Faith ? I know I have wasted so much,,, too much time.... HE said whatever YOU do to the least of these you also do unto me... Love your Brother....

[@debracarter1092]

Amen Brothers TY U2 xxoxx

[@cesarquerales1145]

I saw the first show of that tour in Fort Lauderdale and this last show in Miami. Intense.

[@saRatoRRente]

Da pelle d'oca!

[@jk59beads]

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

[@SteelHurleys]

Please is an amazing song, really deep., Much better song about N Ireland's troubles than Sunday Bloody Sunday

[@christianinja7]

I too would like to know how you play this song. It is gorgeous.

[@spikelive]

j love u2( j saw 14 gigs the first one in 1985) and j love this song...but j'm atheist,yes j believe in love but j don't believe in any kind of religion!love is not a religion's privilege!

[@shankar5666]

Wow

[@dmpittman35]

its the heaven you keep you stow not stole

[@bergeturabian]

Very very nice, but the original album version is by far one of the best U2 productions ever.

[@hodgoberro]

@wrightherewrightnow9 thats so true. i think of please as the extension to Sunday Bloody Sunday

[@Zooropa007]

they should not play this version, but the version they played in rotterdam 1997! that's really a powerful song! (i love the song trio of that concert; Miami, Bullet and then Please)

[@docteursaadbennis4006]

❤✌

[@jfdkrli]

And by the way in Poland too!

[@vinnihoop82]

This acoustic live song is Absolutely Fabulous!!!! but the live performence in the kuip in rotterdam 1997 is better!! greetings from a u2 fan;-)

[@MorrisMabalot]

This song would go great with Love And Peace. Please has the lyric "get up off your knees" and Love And Peace has the whole "I'm not easy on my knees" lyric.

[@kleinbauter]

simply amazing. did a little cover. It's all about expression isn't it? :-) Great song!

[@RequiemVaccaro]

0:41 God is love appeared in Atomic city 😁

[@Max112023]

@wrightherewrightnow9 : I agree !

[@bonofoundgrace]

I think: "Do you know, I'm kind of one of those kind of people too. Honestly, shrinking God all the time."

[@BonoGolfer]

Post 9/11 shows. Very emotional time.

[@SpikeShooter92]

U2 wrote "Miami"

[@thenamelessavenger]

@ornatosvioleta ditto. i love Pop only like the ones after that.

[@SaltAndLightCoop]

no one can say bono's not a christian after this :)

[@mjbanka17]

somebody tab this version!!

[@badrubyu2sday]

~thank you for posting this, is this really the date?~

[@vnavas31]

Yes! I was there... Impossible to forget

[@marjoleindonken]

What I hear is show me a sign

[@sidheartraja]

@Caladolen That's the Metro Gnome.

[@nikospaolinelli]

At 2:20 the song starts

[@cantsingbutgotsoul]

U don't have 2 b on ur knees, U2 is rite!!!

[@conortaylor2551]

2:20

[@pizzapazza89]

Maybe,and I say MAYBE,I supposed this song(but I'm not sure about it.....)is called "Please"....LOL. I'm simply joking,so don't get me wrong!!! PEACE 3ever and... U2 are amazing.....unbeliavable.....

[@spyke16]

does anyone have the tab for this...or any clues on how to play it my band wants to play it live on acoustic... cheers everyone

[@ColorsBright]

I have patience :) ... I just wish that POP would get more respect. I know they throw in more songs halfway into the tour or change them up but it seems like its always the 80s songs that make it into the setlists later. Example. New Years Day for Wild Horses

[@Mrsignumartis]

Riff of personal jesus by depeche mode:)

[@ToulacAxeHand]

Guy check his watch at 3.15 :O

[@jpinkard]

What is edge playing here???

[@thagoff]

a guitar

[@victory2g]

The version is great. I've done a cover using this arrangement as a model! Please Check it out!

[@Caladolen]

You know some people read dates in the correct order.

[@jpinkard]

oh shiii

[@BOYMONTANA32]

@Caladolen I guess some guy added this sound to the audio recording, then put the audio on top of the video.. Its awful indeed

[@TheGavio93]

i think he says "Show me the sound"

[@jpinkard]

really? Three thumbs down...unknowable, unifiable??? If you only knew....

[@chonburi2222]

@wrightherewrightnow9 , well i think PoP was not underrated it is not a great album just like zooropa i think those albums of you to are personally form me the 2 worsed albums of u2 but they are so good they always manage to produce great songs also on these albums like Please and Staring at the sun great songs and on Zooropa Stay they just the best!!!

[@user-pf1xt7ve4k]

Просто Best... Или как там,вобщем акуеть!!!

[@SEBBARU]

Why are they using a click track on this purely acoustic version? I think a few tempo changes here and there could add more authenticity to the unplugged nature of this version.

[@ornatosvioleta]

@wrightherewrightnow9 I agree. Pop was the last album that i truly like, from U2. Since then, i dislike. :)

[@comp0stable]

I've been addicted to this song for the past few days, and now Osama bin Laden is dead! Hooray! Bono must be pleased too!

[@PineappleBobTheGreat]

The electric version shits all over this
