| OTHER NOTES |
| Mysterious Ways followed the Fly
as the second single off of Achtung Baby, released
one week after the album itself was released. The Fly had taken the
college radio stations by storm, it was so different and although it had
success there, it was having trouble gaining airplay on more commercial
radio stations. The second single quickly found itself rising in the charts
on these stations where the Fly had difficulty.
Mysterious Ways has become a staple song of the band's live performances
since it's release. Unfortunately it did not make the cut for the
fan club Hasta La Vista Baby live CD, even though
it had been performed at that concert. It also found itself on the cutting
floor when the Elevation Live in Boston DVD was
released, again despite it being played that evening. |
