I find this version to be far superior to the Christy Moore version.But u2 is my favourite group so maybe I'm biased

Great rendition, does not compare with Christy's but who could compare with Christy anyway... Fair play to Bono for co-writing this powerful song.

This is a very deep song and was written by Christy Moore and U2, they wrote it together.

Last bit: The longer version, which did feature Bono and the Edge, was also released on a compilation in the 90s. This was called the Celtic Heartbeat Collection Vol. 2. U2 would later record their own version of "North and South of the River" without Christy Moore and it would appear as a bside in 1997 to Staring at the Sun.

Even more: In 1996, Christy released his album, Graffiti Tongue which included an acoustic version of "North and South of the River". This version did not contain the backing vocals by Bono and the Edge, and was a much more stripped down version of the song. It too was released as a single to promote the Graffiti Tongue album. This time it was released on Grapevine Records, backed by "The Limerick Rake" (Grapevine, Ireland, CDGPS-210).
