Local Time: 02:22 AM | Live/Single > Album. If there's one U2 song that truly benefited as a single, it's Please. |

Local Time: 02:22 AM | Imo, the single version of Please is just an evolved version of the album version. I agree that the album version fits better on the album and certainly has some elements that are missing on the single version, but all in all, I guess the album version is just to weird. I mean, Adams bassline is deliberately out of tune, but that makes it sound so off key that I always skip the song on the album. And of course, being Dutch, I'm a bit proud of the Dutch strings that are on the single version

They should think about changing Bullet the Blue Sky or Sunday bloody Sunday, two are played almost in every concert, for Please. And bring wake Up Dead Man back too!!! | |

Was it in accoustic setting? Or full blown?

Local Time: 12:22 PM | No need to defend the album version of Please, it's perfection. |

Local Time: 08:22 PM | Agree 100%. It's got that intense feel of desperation and comes off as a pretty dark song...you won't get that with any of the other versions; they may rock harder, but a song like Please doesn't need to. |
