This live performance from 1984 captures the power of this song when the band played it with fresh energy and enthusiasm, rather than out of a 25-year obligation. In particular, Adam Clayton is pounding the hell out of the bass line on this version. The video loses sync about 2/3 of the way through, but that’s the joy of moving old VHS recordings to digital.
