Don't Let It Get Away: The True Story of U2's 'Beautiful Day'

Welcome to Season 3 of Encore!


When the Landmark Las Vegas sphere opened up in September of
2023, with its $2.3 Billion dollar price tag, its 300 tons of
steel, 16K resolution screens, 1,600 speakers and 4D machines
capable of pumping in wind, scent and more into the venue… There
was never any doubt that there was only one band in the world
capable of matching the Sphere’s fantastical ambitions… and that
band was the Iconic U2.


Officially forming in 1976,U2 had an unbelievably successful run
from around 1980 all the way through to about 1997, culminating
with their first Best of Collection released in ‘98 with such
classics as Pride (In The Name Of Love), New Year’s Day, Sunday
Bloody Sunday, Desire, and many more.


Normally, in any band’s career - this would probably be enough -
you’ve had the better part of 20 years on top, with critical and
commercial success rivaling *literally* any artist that ever
lived - it’s probably time to realize that your best days are
behind you. Right?


U2 did *not* get that particular memo to take it easy, because
they did none of the above, and as the world prepared to roll
over into a brand new millennium... U2 knew there was plenty of a
‘Beautiful Day’ to be had.


This is the story of U2's comeback single, the iconic 'Beautiful
Day' with newly unearthed audio from the band.
