This CD is a MUST for collectors. The case is made of a fabric and U2 is embossed on the front and back. The "postcards" are great shots of the band, and the live recordings are excellent.

This is an exclusive U2 limited edition Australian import single. The four (4) tracks include: Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of (album version), Beautiful Day (Live from farmclub.com), New York (Live from farmclub.com), and Beautiful Day (David Holmes Remix). The live tracks are excellent and provide a tantalizing preview of U2's upcoming Elevation World Tour. Live, U2 always bring something extra to their music and Bono always embellishes the lyrics with his unique improvisations. The live tracks make this a worthy purchase for any U2 fan. In my opinion, New York works better here than on the new album. The Beautiful Day remix is an instrumental track with entirely new musicians and instrumentation with subtle echoes of the original album version. It's an unusual remix that makes for a nice treat.

Stuck in A Moment is the theme of overcoming crisis ("this time will pass")and forging on established.Modern pop-soul sound an agreeable shock.Edge keeps it Steve Cropper simple.A keyboard rings out like a bell.Clayton and Mullen punctuate sparsely.And Bono's beutiful voice makes this whole single the perfect one.

This is an excellent CD from start to finish, offering a variety of different music styles. The first track is very similar to the version on ATYCLB, so if you have that album the difference is minimal. However, the acoustic versions of "Stuck in a Moment" and "Stay" are very polished. Both tracks are very stripped down, and they are sung with more emotion than their studio counterparts. These tracks alone make this CD worth the money. The version of "Stay" is so different that I had to go back and listen to Zooropa and see if it was the same song.The song sounds a lot different since it lacks percussion and the bass line, although I think that this focuses more attention on the lyrics (which is a good thing). The last track is great for working out, but not the kind of track you would listen to if you were trying to study or relax. The bottom line is this CD has a little bit of everything from a pop song, to two acustic tracks, to a dance club mix.

This limited edition CD single from Paris has it all. Postcard shots of the band from their alternate version video of "Beautiful Day," nice embossed collectors case, and of course, the live tracks. The CD includes two previously unreleased live tracks ("Even Better Than The Real Thing" and "All I Want Is You") from the band's October 19, 2000, club show at the Manray in Paris. It also includes the B-side "Big Girls Are Better" and "Stuck In A Moment." This is the way all CD singles should be!!!

This is a great single containing live recordings of "All I want is you" and "Even better than the real thing"...
