This says The Edge was playing Tin Whistle, (from Last FM website): "For the War Tour, the band rehearsed a new live version [of Tomorrow]: October segued into it and the Uilleann pipes were replaced by The Edge playing a tin whistle."
@cookmoore heheh, no I only added those comments to my description after your question, although one guy reckons it was not Edge playing whistle but vincent kilduff (he played the uleian pipe in the studio version of tomorrow). Im trying to find that out as itd be nice to know. Either way I agree it was fine playing!
U2 as a musical outfit should really forget about pop songs and concentrate on more experimental work. They would be such a great prog rock band if they put their minds to it. They need to diversify and explore totally new territory, this is how they can age gracefully. I love this early stuff though and have only recently had the pleasure of hearing some 1984 concerts, that energy hasnt been present since zoo tv, my first u2 gig. All the same and for what its worth - Long live u2
@Pilaman82: Unfortunately they'd never play this today. Bono recently said "he'd forgotten the lyrics to the older songs". Sad really, because songs like these are ten times better than the current, gorilla excrement "Put On Your Boots" will ever be...
@cbono69 I know that you posted this a year ago, but I understand somewhat of what you were going through. Mom did the same 4 years ago. It's hard, but for me, I knew it was her time.

A real rarity. I think this song has been much overlooked. It is also one of the only songs by U2 that shows inspiration by Irish folk music.
Hands down my favourite U2 song. If only they would play it live.
Wow...beautiful and moving. To go back and see it live for the first time.
This song tears at me everytime I hear it. The power in Bono's lyrics are so dark.

Reason they became the #1 band in the world, so good!

I think this is my favourite U2 song.
The only song written for Bono's mother. This is my favorite U2 song ever

how crazy would it be if they played this today ?
This song is one of my ultimate favourites ever... Love the kind of Irish sound!
U2
Pure energy
What a sound
God was speaking during this song......
Thanks U2.....
Amazing tune. An old classic.
Moved to tears 😭
celtic spirit!!!
Какой раритет. Спасибо!
this one was always one of my u2 favourites.
The bass intro is great ...

Bono said that this song is about the death of his mother
wow....
its nice to clear that up, thanks for the insight!
Fucking excellent!!!
Only played live 41 times and not since 1983.

@Jim Newcombe You're also into necrophilia... Congrats.
They had flopper of songs in the old days as well.
True men never grow up, let alone boys.

why did one so good on the whistle stick with the guitar???
The edge
I think this is from Glasgow 24th March 1983? If not its almost identical. A classic whereever its from.
aahh very irish sound like :D :D
very piercing
Yeah it does sound the same.
"Are so much BETTER" i meant haha. Forgot a word, stupid me!
Does anyone know who played the tin whistle at this gig in 1983?
Probably Edge
Vinnie Kilduff played it live with them on stage and on the October album I’m pretty sure.
@pizzapazza89 What's the difference between God and Bono? God doesn't go around pretending to be Bono.
