I think their early work is far better than the stuff they’re making now. And this song is one of the best they ever made. I never get tired of hearing it.

Man, The Edge was not even 20 years old and made an awesome guitar work. One of my favourite songs. So underrated.

I'm only 16 and I love U2, my friends don't understand but I love everything of U2, I was born with U2❤️

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

It's weird seeing The Edge with a full head of hair

[@claytonvernon8793]

Edge defines "Cool."

[@mckaymartin]

they look like they're at a middle school assembly meeting

God bless the North side dubliners

[@dalebrennan7615]

[@OptimizerFN]

That guitar riff is just so moving .. always will be

[@pldolan1]

The live versions are so much better than the studio version. It's not even close.

[@richardfreethinker]

The cool thing is that U2 has never had a change in band members.

[@paulbadoo9326]

So young, and they're playing with sucha a confidence on the BBC no less.

[@davidredwood6613]

Is it me or is the sound Edge gets from his Explorer just so cool and powerful?

[@mwesselkamp2063]

Trying to comprehend what these guys would create and achieve after this in the space time of just ten years, is nearly impossible.

[@mattdylan664]

1978-1987 was U2 at their very best

[@jasoncollins1702]

All the proof anyone needs of U2's post-punk credentials. Orgasmic.

[@robh6685]

How can anyone vote thumbs down on this? I mean these dudes were 20 years old playing this......it is just awesome. My favorite U2 song, no my favorite song of all time! This is just so raw and powerful. Like I said, 20 years old!!!!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

That ringing riff makes you stand up and take notice, for sure. The old U2 material is just plain golden, no matter what!

[@tomislavstimac3034]

Praise be to those who lived and experienced U2.
