U2 - A Celebration video free download
The single does not appear on any U2 album. It is considered one of the rarest of U2's regular 45s and was deleted within six months. The song was performed live for the first time on February 25, 1982 at the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. However, it had a short lifespan in U2's live set, played for the last time on March 1, 1983 in Sheffield. It was voted No. 2 in the Best Single category in the Hot Press Readers' Poll. The single also appeared on Rare Rock Collection - Rock Against AIDS, a 1987 compilation released by 98KZEW with proceeds to benefit Rock Against AIDS.

Haven't heard this in years. I always thought The Cult's Spiritwalker sailed a bit too close to this for comfort.9 years ago

In an interview from the 80's on radio one Bono said the reason they never played this live was that Edge had forgotten how to play it..and that they had taken the guitar riff from The Associates!9 years ago

This is without a doubt my favorite song. I heard it for the first time during a video show that use to come out around 1 am in LA. I wish they would play this song again. It is one of their best songs. 10 years ago

This was shot in Kilmainham Jail in Dublin. I had this song on 45 inch (picture sleeve) back in the day but as young school kid in 1980, growing up in Ireland, we were all trudged up from Galway to visit and pay homage to those of the 1916 Easter Rising who were executed at Kilmainham Jail. I remember some people of a certain generation weren't too happy when U2 shot the video here in 1982, mysteriously it was deemed sacrilegious!10 years ago
