U2 a Legend

It was a powerful performance given that Bono's dad passed away after a long illness only a day or so before the show. Poor guy was exhausted and grieving but watching the band and audience rally around him was quite powerful. I've seen them perform many times over the years and their concerts are very consistent in terms of quality. They put a lot of effort into their shows; I've never seen a bad one. Thanks for the video, cheers )

His wailing in the intro always brings tears to my eyes. He was hurting and grieving. So powerful

I really pity people that have never seen U2 live, your (music) life is not complete without it!

You have never been closer to a divine experience than hearing this song live, the energy that flows is so strong that your hair stands on end, tears run down your face and you just have to smile happily. welcome to a u2 concert.

The connection in between Bono (and the band) and the audience is unbelievable unique. U2 fans always feel connected as ONE and Bono is definitely my hero. He grew up to be such a wise kind man, I love hear him talking as well. I hope you can experience them just ones. You will not regret it!

As Noel Gallagher said, there is no better song intro in live music.

Yes Bono's Dad Bob Died the week in the build up to the first Slane Castle gig People forget they played two separate Shows i was both of them and Bono actually buried Bob the day before the show how he and the Band got through it was beyond belief Great line for support and on the backup list was the RHCP and an up and coming Coldplay "

As being part of the people behind the Berlin Wall where it was forbidden to listen to the Western music, in my 20tees I have just dreamed to see U2 live. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to attend their concert in Tel Aviv in 1997 and all I could do is to cry as it was also my first concert ever. Thank you for this reaction, it brought back all that magical moments from my life that worth a living ✨️ My memories of their performance of the song 'One', which is still my favourite U2 song, will never fade away ♥️ and their message was unbelievably powerful especially having the context of the people living in that country in mind.

Definitely recommend more live U2! This entire concert is worth a watch, and if you want to see them in their peak rock spectacle form, check out some stuff from the zooTV live from Sydney concert.

I believe this show was only a few days after Bono's father passed away and his funeral was the day before. It was so fitting this gig was in Dublin the band's home!

"All I Want is You" is the song that precedes this and it is one of the greatest bridges between songs I have ever heard...

The Superbowl 36 performance of this song by U2 following the 9.11 attack is stirring ...

One of the most iconic bands in our history...

His dad had passed away 5 days before this gig. I saw U2 live in Buenos Aires ( Pop Mart Tour) I recommend u to react to any song of their show in Sao Paulo Brazil in 98. Bono said after that was the night that saved U2 as a band.

Thank you for this great reaction. I've seen them 13 times and every time is a new overwhelming experience. This is one of 2 shows at Slane Castle with 85,000 people each night. This is my second favorite live performance show of theirs. I would suggest checking out performances from ZooTV Sydney 1993. ZooTV was a tour that changed all live concerts from then on. They were the first to create the long runway to a B-Stage which is pretty much used by all bands now. The Stage setup was overwhelming in size and technology, that Mick Jagger called them A-holes because they were going to have to find a way to match it. Highlights from ZooTV show are Bullet The Blue Sky, Love is Blindness, Running to Stand Still, and many more. The biggest rock band for 40 years and still going strong.

I have had the pleasure of experiencing this band live five times. The album version of ”Streets” isn’t even in my top ten U2 songs, but man, the live version. Whenever the Edge goes into that riff, the whole place just explodes. Its hard to explain if you haven’t experienced it but it SO emotional. I love U2 so much.

cheers WrighteousJ well you pretty much summed this iconic U2 song up Perfectly i attended this show and it has to go down as one my favourite U2 concerts ever im gonna suggest from the same show the song called " ONE " its a song which for me they can never leave out of their setlist its just a song that grips you spiritually "

U2 literally got me through high-school when my dad got diagnosed with cancer and their music helped me grieve, love, fight, push on, and even connected me to my faith in dark, confusing times. I'll always come back to U2, every time.

There is no more religious experience you can have than when you're in the crowd when U2 launches into this song live. You will see God walk through the room, as Bono famously describes. You feel your soul leave your body. I've seen U2 live three times, and I can tell you that no drug I've ever taken, no orgasm I've ever had, can ever equal that experience.

No one does it live like U2 does!!!

I've seen U2 25 times and Where The Streets Have No Name live, especially from the Sun Devil Stadium , is the greatest live song of all time.I've experienced the euphoria of that song many times and the energy from the crowd after hearing that first note is just incredible.........better than any drug!!

How weird. Literally as I opened this after you liked it , the 2 songs i mentioned came on youtube on my tv. Gospel truth too. Scary!

Bono's Dad had passed away just days before that concert and he dedicated this song to him. He joked that his Dad used to ask him when was he going to get a "proper" job 😊

Seen them many times and that face melt moment when all the lights kick on is pure magic every time

The very beginning bono is basically wailing and crying out for his father. You can see edge’s face and pain for Bono. There’s a actually a clip that has all I want is you that transitions into this song. One of the best transitions.

Ok first I love that you’re doing this. As a 30+ year U2 fan, you really need to watch the where the streets have no name at sun devil stadium in the 80’s. Holy shit. Pure magic. Get chills every time I watch it. Also I’ve seen them live many times. The best show was zoo tv. That’s u2 in their prime, for me. But Larry, the drummer, playing live, is like no other drummer I’ve seen live. It’s booming pounding strong that doesn’t quit. So glad you noticed this too. High marks sir. Thank you.

In case you didn’t know why he was so passionate during that song-Bob Hewson, the father of lead singer Paul "Bono" Hewson, died of cancer several days before the first concert. U2's first night at Slane was on 25 August, a day after Bono's father was buried. He dedicated the song "Kite" to his father.

With I still haven't found what I'm looking for, Where the streets have no name is my favorite song on the Joshua Tree album (but then, all the songs are good on that album; I saw the Joshua Tree tour: epic). I've been a fan of U2 since I was about 12, listening to their music on the radio while I did my homework. I'm glad you appreciate the intro and outro lead lines. To me, they make this song exceptional. It makes you want to put it on a never-ending loop and it fits the lyrics so well. You should check out Sunday Bloody Sunday if you haven't yet. Another amazing performance and amazing song. Nice to see a young guy who has a clue about who these guys are. I'm astonished that so few young people know of them, or many bands and music before 2000 for that matter. It's like the whole era, which was musically extremely rich, has gone forgotten. Much to discover there. Rock with a purpose among other things. Peace.

Love this comment. It’s interesting bc even though I’m not a “huge” fan of their’s I’ve come to really appreciate and study their live-performances for our own…so it’s almost like, it’s not that I’m a fan it’s more that I have them as an influence? Idk, but I have immense respect for their quality and heart.

The way Bono applauds the audience at the end says it all!

One of the greatest live acts! I saw this tour in Milwaukee, Wisconsin paying 30 bucks for GA tickets 2 hours on the street before the show and found myself front and center of that heart catwalk and saw Bono looking right at me during this song which freaked me out because he's a huge iconic artist and I was a huge fan since I was a kid and as a guitar player hearing the Edge play live with his gear is sonically from another planet! That whole show was a religious experience!

talking about energy from 4 on the floor thoughout, the out-tro on the original version on Joshua Tree had all 3 instruments playing every single beat for 16 bars. intense

Great thoughtful review.

Agree with everything OP. Glad I found your channel.

I highly recomment the performance of "Bad" at Live Aid from the 80is, you realy should see that, also everything from the slane castle concert

I saw U2’s Joshua Tree Tour in Philadelphia on September 25, 1987 at John F Kennedy Stadium …ATTENDANCE: a little over 86,000. It was Awesome!!!

I can’t see or hear how a live version can have the magic that we had in2987coming back from the record store too anxious to keep frim opening the shrink wrap &.getting that new record smell then Geting inside and dropping the needle

Check out U2 live at rosebowl > Ultra violet, hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me.

Look for U2 live at Rosebowl!

You have to watch U2 Live at Boston 2001- With or without you.

You should definitely check out (if you haven’t already)Bono’s son’s band. Inhalers an amazing band!!! I would love to see a video on that!
