      @Teddy Holiday They performed it on the 2017 JT tour but in a much lower key so that Bono could sing it in his mid-50s without dying. :D Even 27-year-old Bono couldn't sing this live. It's an epic song with the most voice-shredding chorus ever. Love it!

    I would like to "like" this performance a 1,000 times, but RUclips won't let me.
    I remember when Joshua Tree came out and people were raving about the "hits." But after multiple listens, this song just stuck with to this day. And Mike does it justice!

    I often jam along to your tracks with my Roland TD30 drum kit and get to be Larry Mullin for a couple of minutes.
    Your covers are so accurate and in time, it is bliss. I salute you all.

    Man, i've been working on this song for a whole day and i can now barely sing it half a step down. Your singing is so natural and clear that people may not get how hard this chorus actually is, i am so jealous of you now, in a good way tho. But honestly i couldn't expect less cause you always nail it. Cheers from brazil and keep singing!

    • @mikemasse
      @mikemasse  6 лет назад +18

      I know this is an old comment, but keep working on it. I remember very well when I younger (like around 18 or 19) not being able to sing this, and wondering just how the heck Bono could hit those notes. I can assure you that you can increase your range if you keep working at it. I was so glad when I was finally able to sing this--but granted, it's still never easy.

    • @fallinginthed33p
      @fallinginthed33p 6 лет назад

      Mike Massé You've got great talent and an amazing voice. How do you hit the chorus and the ending? It sounds so clean.

    • @ramonarellano4988
      @ramonarellano4988 6 лет назад

      Matheus Magalhães it is really hard, i used to reach the highs about 30 years ago, now i can only sing it very low key, really, you can't blame Bono for not singing this high nowadays.

    Still so impressive for the vocals. The music live back tracks were so solid they were checked and without guarantees can tell you the video is one of those magic events.
    This may have been one of those times in an artist’s life where they tear open a vein and let a little blood pour out and onto a canvas.

  • @jjwankenobi
    @jjwankenobi 7 лет назад +23

    Believe it or not, you did a better job playing this song live than U2 did on the opening night of the Joshua Tree Tour 2017 in Vancouver, BC a couple nights ago. Was looking forward to hearing RHMT live for the first time ever, yet when they rolled out the version that favoured The Edge on keyboard, prerecorded brass accompaniment and the key changed to accommodate Bono's vocals I was sorely disappointed. This is exactly how I wished they played it. Bravo!

    • @ericgorski73
      @ericgorski73 6 лет назад

      jjwankenobi i was in Seattle a couple nights after and it wasnt much better. Wish they had had their chops ready. Bono couldnt hit high notes. He had to restart Elevation toward the end of the show. And because he sucked on it he gave us I Will Follow at the very end. Overall pretty good but like you, I was disappointed on this song. One of my favs.

    • @alanwright3716
      @alanwright3716 4 года назад +3

      To be fair, Bono is pushing 60 and has been touring relentlessly for 40 odd years. His voice has been abused a hell of a lot more over the years than Mike's. You can't expect him to sound the same as he did when he was younger or to hit those high notes.

    It's always a pleasure see this video. Even Bono never played this song in a concert 'cause has a very high tone and it's stressful for his voice. You did an amazing job . Greetings from Argentina.
