Not bad though not as good as the original - probably had to be there to fully appreciate it

Love it! SP is Def a top 5 band for me and I loved them before I really got into u2.

That had to be a head scratcher for a lot of the fans. Zoo Station is not big in the collective memory.

Surprising to say the least - but love SP and love this version.

Thought the Birmingham version was a little sharper:

It’s the ideal U2 track for them to cover, like So Cruel for Depeche Mode.
