On the Joshua Tree tour, as well as the Lovetown tour which followed, the song was played in an arrangement mostly similar to the album version. From the first show of that tour, until the start of the third leg of the Elevation Tour in 2001, the song did not miss a single U2 concert. It’s a powerful and visceral song that’s had a long and varied history of live performances by the band, starting on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987. The stability provided by Adam and Larry allow the Edge to engage in some of the guitar gymnastics that this song is known for, and compel the listener to nod their head in a motion that’s always made me think of soldiers in some evil empire, marching over the corpses of their victims. It’s an immediate notice that this song is hard and heavy, lyrically, emotionally, and musically. If you listen closely, which I was, you can actually hear the air whistling around Larry’s sticks as he brings them down to crash against the drum. I remember the first time I ever heard it, I was listening on headphones, and the drum part that opens the song really fascinated me. The guitar part in the song is famous as being the result of Bono’s request that Edge “put the war through the amplifier.”, and it’s a beast of a guitar performance, no doubt, but I always think of the song as one of those that’s really all about the rhythm section. Of course, “Bullet the Blue Sky” was originally written for and released on the band’s first mega-hit record, The Joshua Tree. In many cases, and I think that “Bullet…” is one of these, they’re superior to some of U2’s more well known songs, but, even though they weren’t released as singles and remain relatively unknown by the masses at large, they are cherished by those of us in the U2 fan community whose familiarity with the band runs a little deeper. Then there are those gems, the deep album cuts, that have never really gotten the attention they deserve. In fact, I suspect that there are a lot of people who know the above mentioned songs without even being aware that they’re by U2. There are some songs, like “Beautiful Day”, “One”, or “With or Without You”, that are universally acclaimed and beloved, even by those who don’t know much about the band.
