A song comes immediately to mind when one thinks of the new year, New Year's Day U2 of . I also started the year with her in 2010. It's not very original but 
this song is very beautiful and I wanted to know more about her and you know.
New Year's Day appears on the excellent third album, War, released in February 1983. It was released as a single (the first and principal of the album) a month earlier. This is the first song of the group to reach the top 10 UK charts.
New Year's Day is one of the five most played songs by the band in concert. And it began on 1 December 1982 launch date of the War Tour. Performances in December 1982 and January 83, before the release of the album were dubbed "Pre-War Tour" and have helped test the songs before the public before the album's release.
The four Irish were young but already attracting crowds. Because here in Germany, in August 83:
As
you can see, New Year's Day is driven by a very recognizable bass line by Adam Clayton and The Edge switches between keyboard and guitar.
For lovers of 6 strings, during the 1980s, The Edge used a Fender Stratocaster to play the song on stage. Then, during the years 1990 and 2000, he has alternated between a Gibson Les Paul Custom and Les Paul Standard.
I'm not sharp enough on guitar to tell you which one it is at this concert of 1993 in Australia:
The clip New Year's Day was shot in Sälen, Sweden,
December 1982 and directed by Meiert Avis, a director in Ireland, specializes in videos, who worked for most of the big stars of rock and pop.
The group only appears in scenes of the video sung. In fact, The Edge has revealed in his biography that the four horsemen who appear to be members of U2 are actually Swedish teenage disguised with masks on their faces.
In early winter, temperatures were well below zero and Bono, who refused to wear a hat like his three friends had difficulty articulating the words of the song.
When Vertigo Tour, 2005, when U2 went to Poland and sang New Year's Day , spectators have a bang waving red scarves in the front row and whites in the other sections to represent the Polish flag . The scene was repeated in 2009 during the passage of 360 ° Tour in the same stadium in Chorzow, it's pretty impressive (picture above).
Here is an excerpt from the 2005 concert:
The structure of the scene at 360 ° Tour is really fabulous. Here's one last video, a live in Dublin in July 2009. They are filmed from the pit and makes you want to be there.
Oddly, there are not many occasions New Year's Day . If you want listen to some, I recommend the excellent article Juthova's friend, published just last year on his excellent blog, The Reprise Musicale .
I will still offer a conclusion to this article. I'm not a fan of this artist (far from it!) but he is a Quebecer and I must admit that his version is not worse
that, I wish you a happy new year to you all!

The text has its origins in a love song from Bono to his wife, but was later remodeled 
and inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement, created by Lech Walesa August 31, 1980. New Year's Day is a protest song, like many in this album.
