In recent years U2 have been smart enough to release or re-release new material just in time for Christmas Shopping!

This year is no different.  U2 are re-releasing a Remastered Version of JOSHUA TREE.  This Tuesday 11/20!  It's on my wishlist, but not sure what version.  SUPER DELUXE seems like the best bet!!!  Heee heee!  : )

These are some other November releases that made it under the Christmas tree in years past:

- Elevation 2001: Live From Boston.............Released on 11/23/01

- The Best of 1990-2000..............................Released on 11/12/02

- U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle..........Released on 11/18/03

- How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb...........Released on 11/22/04

- Vertigo 2005: Live from Chicago...............Released on 11/15/05

- U218 Singles................................................Released on 11/21/06

One can only hope that their next studio album is released in time for Christmas 2008!!!!

Listening to 'Where the Streets Have No Name' now off of the original Joshua Tree on iTunes..finishing laundry in the dryer and promising this is my last post for the day!  (But it may be a record!!)   : )

No question it has to be 'Where the Streets have No Name' off of the Joshua Tree.  Brings me back to 1987 every time.  Whenever I hear the opening notes I still to this day get goosebumps!  When U2 played it during the halftime of Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 I was crying like a baby.

I think the best performance of it though was at Slane Castle.

U2 - Streets from Slane

Where the Streets Have No Name from the Slane Castle DVD! This song is always amazing live!! But, when Bono goes from All I Want is You into Streets and he just lets out the emotion at the beginning and the crowd goes WILD. It's a goosebump moment again and again!
