OTHER NOTES
With or Without You was the first single from the Joshua
Tree. It headed straight for the top of the charts around the
world, reaching the top five in the US, Canada, and Europe. This
was the first single not released on the CBS label in Ireland. Instead
it bore the familiar Island logo as U2's initial contract with CBS in Ireland
ended.
With or Without You has gone on to be a staple of live shows since the
Joshua Tree tour. A live version from Edmonton in 1997 appeared
as a b-side to the Popheart / Please single.
It also appeared on the Hasta La Vista Baby fan
club CD from the 1997 Mexico concert. A live version from 1987's
stop in Tempe is included in the film Rattle and Hum, but did not appear
on the accompanying album. It did however, appear on a promo release,
Excerpts
from Rattle and Hum.
