'' is an
EP by the
Irish Rock band
U2 , released in
1997 (see
1997 In Music ). It features four live tracks from the group's
PopMart Tour , three of which were from the tour's first
European date in
Rotterdam .
Half of the songs are from the band's latest release at the time, ''
Pop '', and the other half are from ''
The Joshua Tree ''. The two albums were released ten years apart, and this release is something of a retrospective in that regard.
Drummer
Larry Mullen, Jr. plays the recognizable drum beat from "Sunday Bloody Sunday" during the middle eight of "Please" (both songs concern
The Troubles in
Northern Ireland ). The performance of "Where the Streets Have No Name" has been modernized with a much faster guitar lead and an extended
Outro . "Staring at the Sun" appears as a stripped down acoustic version.
It was released as an EP in most regions except the
U.S. , where its tracks were released as part of the "Please" single. It is no longer in print.
