OTHER NOTES
On September 10, 2005 U2 contributed to the Hurricane Katrina benefit, "Shelter from the Storm:  A Concert for the Gulf Coast".  Their contribution was done live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto Canada where they were rehersing for the third leg of the Vertigo Tour.  As a special bonus, Mary J. Blige appeared with them to sing the song.

That performance was released as a concert DVD and features the original version of this song.  For her album The Breakthrough, Mary J. Blige took this base performance, and additional strings and vocals, as well as additional music was added.  It was released as a single worldwide featuring the Radio Edit of this new mix.

The second CD lists One (Video Accessed with this CD) on the tracklisting, which lead to some confusion that the video was available on this CD.  This is NOT the case.  Instead the CD allowed the user to unlock the video which was hosted on the internet and is not on the CD itself.

RELATED RELEASES
  • The longer version of the song is featured on Mary J. Blige's album The Breakthrough.
  • The original version of this recording with just U2 and Mary J. Blige is featured on the DVD Shelter from the Storm: A Concert for the Gulf Coast.
