The eighth track from U2's 1997 album Pop, Miami is perhaps the most experimental track U2 has released under their own name. As such, it's a very polarizing song among the fanbase. Featuring a reversed drum beat and an unsettling sonic atmosphere, it, along with MOFO are the most non traditional songs they have yet produced.
When it was played live on the Popmart tour, The Edge added to the chorus of Miami an extra guitar part, a snarling Led Zeppelin-esque addition. Pictures of now-dead celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe were flashed on the giant TV screen behind the band while they played this song.
