What album launched the tour in which U2 first played "Electrical Storm" live?
Electrical Storm (song) "Electrical Storm" is a song by Irish rock band U2. It was released as a single from their second compilation album, "The Best of 1990–2000", and was one of the two new songs recorded for that album (the other one being "The Hands That Built America"). The music video for the song prominently features drummer Larry Mullen Jr., as well as actress Samantha Morton. The song was written by Bono and is about two lovers who are fighting and the tension between them; it relates this to a looming electrical storm. U2 did not play the song live until 2 July 2009, when they performed it on the second concert of their U2 360° Tour in Barcelona.
War Tour The War Tour was a concert tour by the Irish rock band U2, which took place in 1982 and 1983 in support of the group's third album "War". The tour took place in Western Europe, the United States, and Japan, with new material from "War" taking an increasing role as the tour progressed. Venues were mostly halls, but some arenas were introduced later on. U2's performances were very well received both critically and commercially, especially in the United States where U2 broke through to become a major act. Scenes of lead singer Bono waving a white flag during the song "Sunday Bloody Sunday" became an emblematic image of this phase of U2's career. It was their first tour as full-time headlining act and their first to be profitable.
