U2 - All I Want Is You.

U2 at the BBC.

I love the way the band members at the end turn to watch the orchestra and applaud them.

If someone would write a song like that for *me* ……..

In this case it was for his lovely wife, Ali (which he often used to announce before playing it).

I was excited it was a preview for some new concert release, but it was posted to YT 9 years ago

I remember riding to college listening to Rattle & Hum every day on the Walkman for like 2 months straight when it came out in 1989, and this was my favorite song on it

Here's imho the ultimate live version of that song + Where the Streets Have No Name. U2 Go Home, Live from Slane Castle (2001).

Hey OG

I’ve been going down the U2 rabbit hole tonight. I also have the Rattle and Hum movie/documentary from 1988. 😁

Of course nobody sings it like Bono but Johnny Rzeznik does a really nice cover.

There's a poster in a Simpsons episode advertising 'U2 Moving Crew'
"We move in mysterious ways"

Was on First Wave on XM. Studio version though.
Kind of a deep cut to hear it twice in 24 hours!
