All is quiet on New Year’s Day. A world in white gets underway. Etc. [image-1]
Here’s my lo-fi and abbreviated rendition of U2‘s killer anthem (I added some extra beats and a few bent notes):
They played it better on the 1983 album War (and in the deep snow in the early-era MTV clip) — but they played it best on the 1983 live EP Under a Blood Red Sky (recorded in the drizzle at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado).
Happy New Year’s Day and beyond!
