This reads like the transcript of the U2 performance I attended in Worchester ma many years ago. I remember Bono talking about the song before performing it. My ears perked up because my Great Uncle, Bill Turnbull was one of the miners who died in the '58 bump. I was so suprised to hear U2 was going to sing a tribute to that disaster which had personal meaning to me. I also remember Bono stopping the song to tell the crowd to shut up - I agreed with him; he was trying to honor those who died, but the crowd just wanted entertainment. He performed the song and then moved on to the more "popular" tunes. Since then, I've had a soft spot for U2.
