"I owe so much to Walk On, for it was the one song which really introduced me to U2 (I know, about time!) and convinced me to buy All That You Can't Leave Behind, which was so wonderful I became a huge U2 fan.The best word I can think of to describe this song is uplifting, because it certainly uplifts me. Every time I hear this song I feel so happy :) In fact, my new year's resolution was to listen to it every day, because I realised just how happy it does make me. Everyone should buy this single, not just because it's WALK ON!!! (need I really say more???) but because it is a different version to the one on the album- so anyone even slightly obsessed with the song has an extra big reason to get a copy.
The other tracks on the Australasian release are almost as good, and I was surprised at the sound quality on these live tracks. Stay is especially good, with a backing which is far better than the comparitively cold version on Zooropa. Gone and Where The Streets Have No Name are also fabulous.Walk On is an amazing song, and it deserves far more airplay than it receives (especially in New Zealand, where our radio stations refuse to play it for some strange reason) so everyone should at least listen to it once (and with an open mind)...
...and prepare to be uplifted!!
(By the way, I've listened to this song well over 200 times, and yet every time I listen to it, I hear something new. This is NOT a song you can easily get sick of!)"

Buy this australian version instead of the UK single

"This single has the same songs of the UK edition of Walk On, part 1, plus Gone (Live from Boston), so it's a better choice."
