U2 Performs Angel of Harlem

While I rarely get the uncontrollable urge to spend an hour digging into U2's music, there are some go-to songs of theirs that I really dig and Angel of Harlem is one of them.

They released this on the wonderful Rattle and Hum album in 1988. This cut, while not as pristine as the officially-released track, is a pro-shot video from the last leg of the Zoo TV tour they did. Specifically it's from Sydney in the (northern hemisphere) winter of 1993.

Enjoy this homage to Billie Holliday.

Just a warning for the work viewers, Bono drops a quick F-bomb right up front.
