The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

    I dig the way they mixed this. Adam’s bass is significantly more prominent than it typically is in this song. I like it better like this. Gives it a completely different vibe.

      Probably because he's using a Jazz here. He recorded the album version with a Precision, which might be why it's more subdued in that mix.

    It's a strange thing, being in the audience of a taped show like this. We were watching the show, but we were also reminded that we were part of the show. The audience handlers were eager for us to bring a lot of energy, which may be why so many felt compelled to clap throughout the song. I don't recall for sure, but I suspect there may have been some encouragement to stay seated. The second Bono motions for us to get out of our seats near the end of the song, I was right there, as was everyone else around me. It was a unique treat.

    I've been a U2 fan since seeing The Tomorrow Show w Tom Snyder in June 1981.

    They played, 'I Will Follow' It was eye-opening

      On a much smaller scale, Bono and Edge’s acoustic performance (in tribute to Michael Hutchence) of “Stuck In a Moment” from the guest seats next to Letterman, was just as powerful, in my mind.

    The heart is a bloom
    Shoots up through the stony ground
    There's no room
    No space to rent in this town
    You're out of luck
    And the reason that you had to care
    The traffic is stuck
    And you're not moving anywhere
    You thought you'd found a friend
    To take you out of this place
    Someone you could lend a hand
    In return for grace
    It's a beautiful day
    Sky falls, you feel like
    It's a beautiful day
    Don't let it get away
    You're on the road
    But you've got no destination
    You're in the mud
    In the maze of her imagination
    You love this town
    Even if that doesn't ring true
    You've been all over
    And it's been all over you
    It's a beautiful day
    Don't let it get away
    It's a beautiful day (Oooh, ooh)
    Touch me
    Take me to that other place
    Teach me love
    I know I'm not a hopeless case
    See the world in green and blue
    See China right in front of you
    See the canyons broken by cloud
    See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
    See the Bedouin fires at night
    See the oil fields at first light
    And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
    After the flood all the colors came out
    Day, Day
    Day, Day
    It was a beautiful day
    Don't let it get away
    Beautiful day
    Touch me
    Take me to that other place
    Reach me
    I know I'm not a hopeless case
    What you don't have, you don't need it now
    What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
    What you don't have, you don't need it now
    Don't need it now
    Was a beautiful day
