U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses | The Achtung Baby 30 Cover Project | 05 | May 2021

Many say this is the best U2 song from the Achtung Baby album, a really great song with a pleasant melody that easily climbs into your ears. 1992 Zoo TV Tour, 2005 Vertigo Tour, then 2018 eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour. On these tours, U2 picked up this song and played it. For some reason, after the Vertigo era, it wasn’t played for more than 10 years, but then it was performed again in a full band version in 2018. This song has been played 113 times as full song or snippet by U2.
My own feeling was that U2 after the early days (ZOO TV era) might have felt that it wasn’t a typical concert song, so they could take it out of later setlists. However, based on the reactions of the audience, it is very. It’s no coincidence U2’s own attraction to this song, as it’s also a song from Achtung Baby for which a video clip was made.
In our version, the song is sung by the young Bono, according to the 1991 album version. The outro part of the song is sung by the current Bono, this part was only played on the e + i tour. The instrumentation and performance of the song also represent the version played on the 2018 tour. Key of the song is G# to matching Bono's original vocal line, but U2 played the song during the e+i tour in G key.
Enjoy our version ans subscribe my channel! :)

U2 - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses | The Achtung Baby 30 Cover Project | 05 | May 2021
"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the fifth track on their 1991 album, Achtung Baby, and was released as its fifth and final single in 1992.
"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" began as a demo that the band recorded at STS Studios in 1990. The band worked on it during the formal Achtung Baby sessions, including several failed attempts at Hansa Studios in Berlin. This produced several versions of the song and about a dozen mixes. However, the original demo remained their preferred version. Producer Jimmy Iovine, in particular, expressed his preference for the demo version when lead vocalist Bono played it for him. During the group's time recording in Dublin in 1991, producer Steve Lillywhite was brought on to provide a "fresh pair of ears" and mix the song. The album version most closely resembles the original demo.
Lillywhite recalls that, "They hated that song. I spent a month on it and I still don't think it was as realised as it could've been. The Americans had heard it and said, 'That's your radio song there', because they were having trouble with some of the more industrial elements [of the album]. It's almost like a covers band doing a U2 moment. Maybe we tried too hard." Bono said, "It's a song I feel we didn't quite nail on the record because there was another whole set of lyrics that were dumped and I wrote those quickly and off we went." The band later released an alternately arranged "Temple Bar Remix" as the single, the version of the song they most prefer. The band also has claimed they find the song difficult to perform in concert. Bassist Adam Clayton said, "It's a great torch song, with melody and emotion, but I don't think we ever captured it again and we have never really been able to play the song live."
