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.
No Line on the Horizon No Line on the Horizon is the twelfth studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite, and was released on 27 February 2009. It was the band's first record since "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" (2004), marking the longest gap between studio albums of their career to that point. The band originally intended to release the songs as two EPs, but later combined the material into a single record. Photographer Anton Corbijn shot a companion film, "Linear", which was released alongside the album and included with several special editions.
