| OTHER NOTES |
| Last Night on Earth was released just as the Popmart tour
was starting to find its stride. The track was reworked for the single
release. U2 had commented several times that Pop felt unfinished,
this was corrected somewhat in the single versions of tracks rerecorded
in the midst of the tour. Last Night on Earth was the first track
to be reworked.
Last Night on Earth would be performed throughout the Popmart tour,
and although performed that night, was left off the Hasta
La Vista Baby CD which captured the tour stop in Mexico in December
of 1997. That show's version of Last Night on Earth would resurface
as a b-side to the Australian Beautiful Day
single, and the European / Canadian versions of the Elevation
single.
This single also included a cover reworking of the Beatles song "Happiness
is a Warm Gun". The track was originally recorded for the soundtrack of
an ABC television show simply titled, "Gun", but this single saw a release
of that track. Another cover made it to this single as well, a cover of
M's "Pop Muzik". This song was used to start each Popmart show on the tour,
and played over the PA system of the stadium while U2 made their entrance.
Rounding out the songs released on this single was Numb (The Soul Assassins
Mix) which had previously been released on 1995's fan club only CD Melon. |
