Music Reviews of Miss SarajevoMusic Review: war child ... Rating: 5 Stars
I will be honest with you. When I first heard "Miss Sarajevo" I wasn't really impressed. It's not really a U2 song at all. The lyrics sound as if they were written in a short amount of time, which I wouldn't be surprised (Passengers was made in about 6 months). BUT, after I heard the live version at Sarajevo. I was totally blown away. If anyone has ever heard the Sarajevo POPmart it is undoubtingly the most emotional concert of the Popmart tour. The live version of "One" has to be the best I've ever heard. It was recorded at WarChild with just Bono, Edge, and Eno with a full orchastra behind 'em. Probably one of Bono's best vocal performances. The 2 unreleased Passenger tracks "Bottoms" and "Viva Davidoff" have Eno written all over them. Not so sure about "Bottoms" (just an instrumental remix of Zoo Station) but "Viva Davidoff" is very pretty and atmostpheric. I know whoever buys this, it will probably just be for the live version of "One", but make no mistake about it. This single is a beautiful piece of work.
Music Review: Amazing all-time favorite Rating: 5 Stars
I heard a cut on the radio a few years ago, and went to considerable effort to find out WHO did this incredible piece. I knew it was U2, but didn't know it wasn't done under their "label."Of my 400+ CDs (doesn't include the 700+ LPs), this could just be my all-time favorite. It is ALWAYS played at maximum volume; I just can't help it! Luciano Pavarotti is amazing as only he can be, but the COMBINATION of his incredible voice, the intensity of the music of U2, and the way they work together is something that truly deserves the word AWESOME. It gives me chills every time I hear it. I was surprised to find it here on Amazon, after having such a hard time tracking it down before! Hm. Guess I need to go hear it yet again!
Music Review: One of the best ever Rating: 5 Stars
Although I usually only listen to the first two tracks, this is probably the best U2 investment I ever made. I agree with all of the others who said that the live version of "One" on this record is phenominal and the duet with Pavoratti is haunting but brilliant. If you love U2 and want something truely rare then do yourself a favor and pick this up.
Music Review: Awsome, just awsome! Rating: 4 Stars
The first two songs on this CD are just spectacular. Especially the 2nd track.... That is a live version of the song One. It will bring tears to your eyes!
