One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?

Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?

In the name of love
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love
What more in the name of love?

To be precise: it is "early morning, April 4th."  RIP Dr. King.

I believe the word you were fumbling around for unsuccessfully was "hypocritical". 
Perhaps you were looking in the mirror when you said "hypercritical"?

I love how many folks are so tragically hip that they can't appreciate arguably the best rock and roll band in the world.

The Edge is a genius, Bono's lyrics are poetry, and they put 110% into every show.

Saw they're last North American show at Madison Square Garden last year and it was nothing short of incredible.

IMHO 

 
It appears we have a case where a random song comment has influenced the RP play list, since the next song in rotation today is Tragically Hip - Ahead By A Cent.

Cool

See you guys in Philly, June 18! Absolutely stoked. There were many bands and songs that became the soundtrack to the 80's. They were at the top of the list, in all the best ways; soulful intelligence. Political passion and awakening. Topical urgency. Love and loss.

I've heard bootleg's that sound better than this. U2's Dublin Show on 12-31-89 has a pretty decent version of this and is a phonominal concert in general. This feels kinda meh...

True. But the lyric "one man betrayed with a kiss?" If you don't get the historical reference, well, um, I can't help you.
Posted 10 years ago by DD gypsyman    [ Reply ]
On the subject of U2 singing about historical events, Bloody Sunday has particular meaning to me as I'm from the city where it happened. Do the citizens of Derry associate the civil rights struggle there with Sunday Bloody Sunday? Not particularly. But it's a good song, and mankind has long made stories/songs about historical events.

gets a 6, cause I'm so tired of Pride (not Bill's fault) and because the live material on Rattle And Hum never seemed nearly as good as the studio versions, much less as good as hearing U2 Live.

Apparently, a lot of people feel this should be retired. Me?  This is the first time I've heard the song live, and I love it that the crowd is singing along. I like it. I'm not a music-snob, and I don't analyze every note or wrong chord, unless it adds to the wonder of the song.

It's painful to read, but anyone who cares should be informed. First - it wasn't "early morning, April 4." And the lyrics don't tell anything of the story apart from the snuffing out of a vital, powerful, wonderful idealist who fought for change.

MLK

I love this song because it's a step in the right direction. It's a voice, even after a decade or two, for change. I'll always love U2 for their rebellion.

In the studio, they could have sped up the recording to sound a half-step higher.  The engineers at Abbey Road used it all the time with the Beatles.  For instance, they would record the basic track, then speed up the recording and record a guitar part, then slow down the recording and record the vocal.  They did something like this on "Rain."  And then John took the demo home and accidentally played it backwards, so they had to add some backward vocals at the end!

$10 - wow, how things change. I've passed Sun Devil stadium a few times on visits to Phoenix & always thought it must've been a great venue for that show.

I've seen U2 three times now since the 80's and always a great show.

I was in the audience at SunDevil Stadium in Tempe when this was probably recorded on the JT tour (2 nights, not sure which one they used). Best $10 I ever spent (the wanted it full I guess ).

It was a great show despite the cameras and little camera train tracks laid all over the extended stage to let the camera guys roll things around. The Joshua Tree tour was awesome, I saw ZooTV a little later and it was lame by comparison although they were exploring some themes that basically don't interest me compared to say transcendance or spirituality.

OK so Bono is not your typical snide sly alt rock voice but he is an impressive person and artist on a lot of levels.

 

It was a great show!  I was there also at the top of Sun Devil Stadium in 1987 dancing to the beat.  I remember waiting in a long line to buy a $10.00 ticket in Tucson and even though, I was so high up and the band looked like ants, it still was was worth the money and the gas to travel to Tempe, Arizona.

hey, go down to Memphis, TN go past the mississippi river, and the pyramid, go past beale street, and bb king's joint (would he even have a joint if it was not for MLK?) go past the fire house, and the crazies walking around, and take a LOOK at the lorraine motel. with the permanent black wreath on the door, and feel your breath catch. tell me that any song that mentions, glorifies, commercializes, memorializes Dr. Martin Luther King, is not pretty damn cool.
