U2 Fest (banner image missing)


Another week, another cover.  This time one of the greatest two chord songs, from the time when U2 were my band and nobody else had heard of them.

I was just singing and playing into the on-board mic's on the Zoom.  The whole thing took about one and a half hours.

Haven't actually had a copy of the original anywhere in my collection for probably 20 years.  Had to download the lyrics.  Came out alright though, I think

Nick, loved it!!!!!! Put a huge smile on my face, you've done a fantastic take, feel like I am back in 1981, my girlie at the time was trying very hard to get me to like U2, and I only liked this and Twilight for ages (until War I suspect). It's got a real rough edge, but suits the song perfectly - fantastic, well done!

Wasn't sure if I was gonna like this from the first verses but when all the instruments came in I was overcome by the urge to dance again (and I've not had a drink tonight). The wife must think I'm going mad! Really enjoyed your posts over the last few months!

Thanks everyone.  Had a lot of fun kicking this song around like an old football.

Great to hear I made you dance again, Pete...
