"Miracle Drug" is the second track from U2's 2004 album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. It was written about Irish writer Christopher Nolan. [1] The song features a rare background vocal appearance by U2's drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. Indeed, it is one of only two U2 songs to feature three members of U2 on vocals - Bono, The Edge, and Mullen. The only other is Numb from the Zooropa album, in which Mullen's sole contribution is repeating "I feel numb". It was played live at every show of the first and second legs of the Vertigo Tour. Towards the end of the third leg, it was dropped and hasn't reappeared on any of the fourth or fifth leg shows.
