I’m a paramedic from New Orleans who was in the Superdome for that game. You can’t see it in the video, but the most touching part was that the names being projected on the screen didn’t stop at the top of the screen-they continued onto the ceiling, as though they were ascending to Heaven. When the screen dropped, the names continued.

I want to petition the NFL to have U2 do the Super Bowl for the 25 yr anniversary for 9/11. My husband was FDNY and is a big U2 fan. What they did in that performance was not only a fitting memorial to the people who were lost, but a tremendous uplifting and bringing together the people of America. And in my opinion in this time we need to be brought together again. The four lads from Ireland are our hope! God bless the lost, the first responders, our troops and most of all the world

On October 5, 2001 I attended the U2 concert at the University of Notre Dame. When Streets started we saw the names flowing up just like in this performance. Not a dry eye in the house. Not only because U2 went on with the show (there had been security concerns) but out of nowhere the band brought out New York Police Officers, Firefighters and first responders they had invited. It was mind blowing. They all stood there together with an American Flag 🇺🇸 and the Irish Flag 🇮🇪. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. I have loved U2 since I was 10 years old and 40 years later I will love them until the end of the world. ❤️💯

The cool thing about this version is the broadcast silence after the song ends. You never see 15 seconds of silence going into a commercial break during the Super Bowl. There's always someone talking, telling you what you just saw. Here? Nobody in the booth has anything to add, and that pretty much says it all.

When he opened his jacket, it was the first time I realized that this wasn't just one nation's tragedy, it was Earth's tragedy. It established a connection with me at a very young age when I first saw this video. It's as if he's saying, "Hey, we may not be Americans, but we're connected to this event. We're one in the same." God bless America and God bless U2.

I'll never forget this performance .... EVER. It was shortly after the 9/11 attacks on our country where we witnessed pure evil as it took several thousand lives from our motherland. The national sentiment was one of fear, sadness and desperation. U2 takes the stage at halftime and the names of the fallen on that tragic day, from office workers to first responders, arose like giants from behind the stage and assented into heaven ... one by one .... as we watched and celebrated their lives through song. The raw energy and emotion of the American spirit being revived and rising from the ashes as if to say, "WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN ... EVER" was so powerful that it literally shook the ground and took the breath right out of you as we watch this epic performance for the ages. From this point forward, Americans were standing as one, united, and ready to fight until our last breath for our freedom, and for the lives of those taken from us. I'll never .... ever forget it ... and neither should you. #GodBlessAmerica

When they played this song at halftime, I was at a friends Super Bowl party with 30-40 friends, and I remember the grief just came pouring out of me and there was nothing I could do but let it come.. I, of course did not realize I was holding so much at the time. Still cry as I watch it.

Here it is 2022 and I have never seen this before. I haven not cried so hard since 9/11. All those names. They just kept rolling up. Took me right back to a time when America stood together as one. I wonder what happened to us...

Two guitars a drummer, and a singer, with a song that have a meaning, so I say yes one more time.

U2's music is timeless. Classics since the late 1970s and here we are almost 45 years later and they are still amazing! 2015 U2: Innocence + Experience Tour, Live in Paris...My favorite band since I the mid 1980s when I discovered them and, while I listen to numerous music genres and numerous great artists and bands, U2 is still at the top of my list for a host of reasons.

Hands down...this is the best...I cried

Saw U2 in 2005...played for 31/2 hrs. Did not want the night to end. I still carry every song the band played in my ❤...always!

I'm not American but this performance gives me goosebumps every time I watch it and I think is one of the best performances of all time

The greatest Band in the world! This song my entire life!

This never ceases to be moving for too many reasons to count. U2 absolutely rose to the occasion and the healing, as well as ongoing needs for it, carry on into eternity.

U2 Always rises above expectations. An incredible band, with heart & soul.

I play this every 09/11 anniversary. Just a strong and emotional performance. Still tear up 20 years later.

Best ever show time performance

Show yet again why they are one of the greatest bands ever!

Best super bowl halftime ever!!! U.2 always rock. Excellent tribute!!

I will never forget watching this half time show live from my TV in Quebec city Canada. Love U2 and the USA for what they stand for. U2, thanks for the music. USA, thanks for the freedom.

This is probably the best Super Bowl halftime show, if for no other reason than that it's the only one that actually meant something...not just a ton of money wasted on cheap entertainment. And it's just a great performance.

It was the halftime show that was needed at the time. A love letter to America at a time of deep pain.

@@elisaiah1 EVERY EVERY DAMN TIME AND IVE SEEN IT AT LEAST 1000 TIMES MY ALLTIME FAVE SONG TATOOED ON MULTIPLE PLACES ON MY BODY MY GROUP!!!! U2 FOREVER

I'm not crying. You're crying. But seriously, I was 9 years old. This blew me away, even then. The jacket gesture may seem small to some, but that was a *powerful* message for Americans. Thank you for uploading this video. Love will heal us all. To you reading this, may God bless you and keep you and your loved ones forever. ♡

If our politicians had the talent and the heart of U2 , the world would be a total different place. May the Gods keep you playing for eternity, God bless you, God bless America🙏🏻

A show without vulgar outfits, swearing, sexual dancing and phones in the air. And with Americans holding the flag, proud. What has happened to us? A truly epic performance by an amazing band.

You had it all but you shot the Kennedys, Malcolm, Martin, elected Nixon, kept napalming kids in developing countries & now you've got internecine war - But you guys are better than all that and your demerits don't nullify your merits.

It is really sad. Isn't it? This country does not even know how to be patriotic anymore.

That was the most amazing Super Bowl I have ever watched and I don't even remember what teams played. All I can remember is Whitney Houston's national anthem and U2 at half time with the American flag inside Bono's jacket. It still gives me chills to this day when I watch it.

Rams vs Patriots played during U2’s performance. Bills vs Giants played during Whitney Houston’s National Anthem performance.

Excellent and so very respectful.

When I think of U2's 3 best live performances individually, I think of Red Rocks, Live Aid, and this.

Bird82: I don't know what the fug you're talking about, but this performance makes me proud to be an Irish-AMERICAN.

Back when Superbowl performances were wholesome and good. And stood for humanity. ❤

This is one of the most iconic sports moment of all time

This halftime show will never be beaten! Period! Done with such class!

For me watching the screen fall down and hearing Bono and edge's voice saying "Love" the second time hurt inside the most. The second time they said "Love", anyone will tear up because you know what's happening. Each time I hear that I think of all the people who vanished instantly, how deliberately their lives were taken.

I remember seeing this for the first time and being reduced to tears by this performance of Where The Streets Have No Name. The band had just come off tour. Bono’s voice wasn’t in the best condition. His passion more than made up for that as the four members of U2 for 15 magical minutes gave us everything they had. Just 4 guys and a bare stage. Because they didn’t need anything else.

Having a loved one who is a U2 fan and a survivor and first responder on 9/11, this song brings out many feelings to us. I think that in the state this country is in and with the 25th anniversary of 9/11 only a few years away we should start a petition to the NFL for U2 to be the half time show for the SB or Opening night entertainment (since it’s around 9/11) and replicate this performance. Honor the loss of the 2001 and the loss of life by countless people since then due to cancer related illnesses. Maybe the 4 men from Ireland can once again unite America!!!! God bless the FDNY, NYPD, Port Authority and all the families of the fallen! ❤

The Best Half time Moment Ever....... Hands Down

Something that can be watched over and over again.

Impeccably profound performance. The GOAT. Damn Right.

America was wounded. Injured. Betrayed. Attacked. We called on our Irish family to help us heal. Heal us they did. Never Forget!

Thank you, then and now. We needed that.

So I'm an Eagles fan from Philly BUTTT I'm also of Irish descent and Pats fans ( the Irish ones ) from Boston must of been jumping through their effing skin seeing this and then your team won! God bless ya

Almost 20 years later, this performance still gives me goosebumps.Right place, right time.

I was at the game. Did not expect this.
