  • PLEASE SHARE IF YOU LIKE IT, MUCH MORE TO COME! From the Experience & Innocence Tour at the United Center in Chicago in 4K with HQ Audio. Note: This was a most challenging shoot. The floor was packed, and I couldn't see much for several songs, but I grabbed what I could, but some songs from the e-stage are audio only.

    There are U2 classics and there are U2 masterpieces. The entire 'Achtung Baby' album is a masterpiece. They need to perform the rest of these songs more often, not just the popular one (pun intended.)

      By far their best album.....an "Achtung Baby" tour would be incredible

      @Maguirearch 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Cruel is the one weak song on that album....I'm not sure they ever played that one live either.... the Joshua Tree hasn't one weak song on it... however in the round I'm still unsure which is the better Album.....after many years listening to the Joshua tree I still think all the hits from it are brilliant as well as classic live tunes like exit, bullet the blue sky and in god's country but now I rate Red Hill mining town and one tree hill are as the best two tracks on that album...... My favourite tunes on achtung baby in rank from first to last are Ultraviolet Ray, Zoo Station, The Fly, Until the end of the world, Acrobat, Even Better than the real thing, Whose gonna ride your wild horses, One, Tryin to throw..., love is blindness, Mysterious Ways, Cruel....I used to hate mysterious ways with a venom especially when it became a hit and was on the radio non stop but I've grown to like it allot more over the years...it still ranks as my third least liked tune on the album but I've grown to like it and also I've now been able to embrace the depressing lyrics and dark musicality of "love is blindness" I like the song...but as I say the other first songs in my list are so so much better ....I still think "Cruel" is one of the worst songs U2 ever did....they should have put a tune like "girl with the spinning head" on the album instead.....or even the wonderful instrumental b-side to the Fly single..."Alex descends into hell for a bottle of milk" (is this "Alex" based on the "A Clockwork Orange" character)

    Nice! Awesome song, awesome album, their best album, no doubt. It's on it own. Some comments on here that So Cruel wasn't so good. My take, it was just a different tempo to a lot of that album, but I liked that. I get to that song on the album and I relax hearing that rhythm bass, sure it wasn't the best on the album but it's still a very good song and I'm glad it's on their. Achtung Baby is one of my Desert Island discs. Should they do an Achtung Baby tour? They did that in 1992, but I'd be first in line if they did it again! Get the shades and peroxide at the ready :)

    When I first met you girl
    You had fire in your soul
    What happened your face
    Of melting in snow
    Now it looks like this
    And you can swallow
    Or you can spit
    You can throw it up
    Or choke on it
    And you can dream
    So dream out loud
    You know that your time is coming 'round
    So don't let the bastards grind you down
    No, nothing makes sense
    Nothing seems to fit
    I know you'd hit out
    If you only knew who to hit
    And I'd join the movement
    If there was one I could believe in
    Yeah I'd break bread and wine
    If there was a church I could receive in
    'Cause I need it now
    To take a cup
    To fill it up
    To drink it slow
    I can't let you go
    I must be an acrobat
    To talk like this
    And act like that
    And you can dream
    So dream out loud
    And don't let the bastards grind you down
    Oh, it hurts baby
    (What are we going to do now it's all been said)
    (No new ideas in the house and every book has been read)
    And I must be an acrobat
    To talk like this
    And act like that
    And you can dream
    So dream out loud
    And you can find
    Your own way out
    You can build
    And I can will
    And you can call
    I can't wait until
    You can stash
    And you can seize
    In dreams begin
    Responsibilities
    And I can love
    And I can love
    And I know that the tide is turning 'round

    Glad Acrobat was finally allowed to join the other Achtung songs as a living child of a real concert. It was wrong not to allow it go to a ZOOTV show though. MacPhisto was my kind of Devil through the 90s but he is getting old because he fails to remember (publicly at least) his other old 'comrade' - George Iraq Bush: “I think we’ve got to cut through the shenanigans of political cartooning and see that some people can have different views and still be principled people.”
