Good but doesn't help much the song

From the series 'only in it for the song', "Pride (In the Name of Love)" has one of those band performances that makes you forget the song and its important context. A tribute to Martin Luther King Jr., U2 has made one of their most significant pieces, no doubt about that, but the video impress us very little while showing the Dublin docklands, and kids and elderly watching the group performing on a stage. Greatly photographed I must say.

Yet the song has everything to appeal with its sound and lyrics. On video terms, it's one of their least memorable and as evident of such there is another video made. 7/10.
