I named my daughter Alayna Violet after this song. it is still my #1 favorite song of U2's ever....so many memories with it. Last week, at almost 5 years old, I had her listen to the song on AB, she had quite a smile on her face....i think it was pride....she's already a U2 fan. Hearing her sing "Ultraviolet liiiiiight!" is priceless!!!

It's unbelievable how The Edge has the most powerful riffs but the most gentle and clear voice. I think we can consider him the Sound Maker of U2, as long as Bono is the Soul Maker. Without Larry and Adam, however, they would never have been playing for so many years. Fantastic Band.

More true for this album than any other I can think of

This performance of Ultra Violet made me finally see the greatness of this song. Over the last 25 years, I have always "kind of liked" this song. This specific performance somehow deconstructs the song just enough to allow the listener to really understand the arrangement and to hear the melodic change-ups better than the album version ever did. The Edge's guitar playing and, more important, background vocals ring through more clearly with this mix and prove they're the engine behind the song; both seemed under-mixed on the album version. Because of this performance, Ultra Violet is now one of my favorite U2 songs. I wish I could get this concert on CD....

I think that is trademark U2, experiencing the songs differently from the album when they are played live. But I especially have that with songs from AB, like this Ultra Violet for example: so much deeper than the album version. I've had the same with Mysterious Ways, One, Until the End of the World (all three have a different vibe and extended solos live) but especially Love is Blindness from the Sydney live show... that was pure magic. In the same context I also really loved the live versions of Gone, Last Night on Earth, Dirty Day, and Please; they reinvented these under-appreciated songs and me likey. Somewhere halfway through the 360 tour they replaced Ultra Violet by Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, and that also sounded so f*cking awesome. And getting this show on CD isn't really that difficult. If you have the DVD you just convert the audio file to flac or wave files and burn them to a disc.

at Montreal when they did Ultraviolet i was floating somewhere in the sky.... great unforgeteable moment

This is the absolute best version of Ultraviolet (Light My Way) in terms of both presentation and performance. Arguably the best song on Achtung Baby. From Larry's matter-of-fact demeanor, to Adam's devilish smirk and great smile, to The Edge's ever-present technical mastery of the guitar, to Bono's command and control of the way he has to use his voice to sing now, these Lads never-ever cease to amaze.

For me, the best U2 music!!

What a tune what a group,what a dvd ,I’d crawl to the ends of the earth to see u2,absolutely timeless 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just to share and educate the listeners, Ultra Violet was Bono's song written as a homage to his dad. The lyric "Baby, baby, baby, light my way" and "opera in my head" is referring to Bono hearing his dad singing opera in the home as this was his dad's profession. Also, Bono (whose real name is Paul Hewson), didn't have a good relationship with his dad, but was inspired by his father's profession as he was growing up. Thus there was turmoil in the household during Bono's formative years, but he did love his father very much. In the later years after his dad passed away from cancer, Bono reflected back and missed him. His song is for his dad, actually.

2 жыл бұрын

Woow, didn't know that! And here I was thinking "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own", was expressly for him, as he stated since Vertigo Tour. I always cry with 'Sometimes', even my dad is still alive, but some of us relate to that kind of relationship at some point.
