Achtung Baby One Hour Radio Special (59:00 Version)

Album US 2011 on UMe label
Rock (Alternative Rock)

It's not easy for any successful band to re-invent themselves. In the early 1990s, U2 learned this the hard way, when their attempts to follow up the anthemic rock of The Joshua Tree and the blues-tinged Rattle & Hum with something totally different. The process nearly broke up the band, but also took them where they needed to be to reconstruct the band piece by piece, and create music like they've never made before. "What we did," says U2 front-man, Bono, "was we broke up that band and formed another one, but with the same people. . .I think we all recognize that making Achtung Baby was the reason we're still here now." In this one-hour special, comments by all four U2 members (Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr.) tell the story of their November 1991 release, Achtung Baby. Its songs like "Mysterious Ways," "One," "Even Better Than The Real Thing" and the subsequent tours that redefined both how U2 would be perceived by the world and themselves. These rare, insightful interviews are provided by filmmaker David Guggenheim (It Might Get Loud, An Inconvenient Truth), from the footage of his acclaimed 2011 documentary, From the Sky Down. Music heard throughout the program includes the classic album and rare or previously unreleased outtakes and covers compiled for Achtung Baby: Deluxe Edition.
