Originally released as a single in October 1981, "Gloria" is the second single to be taken from U2's second studio album October and has been a staple in U2's live set to this day. This very special anniversary release includes the studio version of "Gloria" plus three live versions from three different decades.

The 1990s are represented by the Point Depot show on the band's home turf of northside Dublin.   Although ticketed as December 31, 1989, the show started at midnight on January 1, 1990, with a live radio simulcast broadcast across Europe.

Side B contains two previously unreleased live recordings of "Gloria" – recorded at the Fleet Center in Boston during the 2005's Vertigo Tour, and at London's O2 Arena during the third night of their run of shows in the English capital as part of the iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour in 2015.
