Y que el Pacífico sea tan azul como siempre he soñado (Morgan Freeman, 'Cadena Perpetua' 1994).

[Classic Rock In Pics @crockpics]

38 years ago today, Rattle and Hum hit No. 1 in America. It climbed to the top of the Billboard album chart dated November 12, 1988, two weeks after debuting at No. 14, and stayed there for six weeks.

It was a strange, ambitious record: part live album from the Joshua Tree tour, part new studio songs, released alongside a concert film directed by Phil Joanou. U2 went looking for the roots of American music and brought some of it home. They recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, sang with B.B. King on When Love Comes to Town, wrote Love Rescue Me with Bob Dylan, and covered Helter Skelter and All Along the Watchtower.

In the UK it sold 360,000 copies in its first week. It was also the first double album to reach No. 1 in the US since Bruce Springsteen's The River in 1980.

Anton Corbijn's cover recreates a moment from Bullet the Blue Sky on that tour, with Bono turning a spotlight on the Edge.

Rank the three big singles from it, best to worst: Desire, Angel of Harlem, All I Want Is You.

On this day in 1988, U2 premiered ‘Rattle and Hum’ in Dublin. Directed by Phil Joanou, the film followed the band across America, exploring gospel, blues and rock with performances alongside B.B. King and a Harlem gospel choir.

On this day in 1988, U2 hit #1 in the U.K. with 'Rattle and Hum', their double album and film soundtrack that gave them their first U.K. #1 single, “Desire.” Rock, gospel, and heart all in one unforgettable roar.
