Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:I may be in the minority, but upon another listen of Pop, I think this should have never even been attempted live. I don't like it being used as a transition...the studio version is so perfectly intricate, the live versions ruin it. People loved it showing up, but I feel like this gem should have been completely untouched instead of butchered down to make an appearance not even half as long as the real song.
I feel semi-similar with IGWSHA. Either go balls out, or leave it.

I don't agree with you at all. I'm the other way about. It was so much better live than it was studio. The live version is great but the studio version is so depressing and boring.
Originally posted by Blue_Room:Not one of my favorite U2 songs by any means. It worked though live on Popmart, really created a "mood" that flowed perfectly into WOWY. Its a shame the Popcore never made it to a show on Vertigo, Velvet sounded as good as ever. Bono even remarked at the time that the transition was beautiful.
