I Threw A Brick / A Day Without Me – U2

I was going to add Surrender from this album to the list. But this tune, which is live, is also from the War album. The second tune is from the Boy album. I always loved how they could go from these two songs live. I had first heard it in 1984 listening to the King Biscuit Flower Hour and was floored. I recorded that live show (cassette tape) and listened to it until it quit on me some years later. I always loved the image of throwing a brick threw a window (youthful angst) and once it got to a day without me, the energy just seemed to take over. Thankfully it has been added to the extended album. I feel 14 again.
