Please: Pop Heart Live EP
Please: PopHeart Live EP is a live EP by the Irish rock band U2. The EP features four live tracks from the band's PopMart Tour, and was released towards end of the second leg of the tour on 8 and 9 September 1997. Two of four the songs on the release were from the band's most recent album, Pop, and the other two were from the band's 1987 album, The Joshua Tree, both of which were released ten years apart. This release was U2's first EP since Wide Awake in America, released in 1985.
Despite its title, this release was not the single to U2's song "Please," which actually was not released until two months later. The EP was released in most regions except in the United States, in which its four tracks were eventually included on the "Please" single, released two months later.
The photograph on the cover of the album was taken by the band's set designer, Willie Williams, and features an image of the PopMart stage arch, with images of artwork by the late pop artist Keith Haring on the LED video screen.

Famous quotes containing the words pop, heart and/or live:
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“What an exciting age it is we live in
With all this talk about the hope of youth
And nothing made of youth.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
