A trip to Bono's Dublin 

AHAHAH! Thin Lizzy? They have nothing in common so there's that.

@@CaptainSpalding72 Phil Lynott was from Ireland

Me too!!

Up the Dubs! 💙

Up the Northside!

Lucky you to have been at such a legendary concert/event!!

I wasn’t there but remember watching it on the telly. Absolutely brilliant !!

I remember watching this concert when I was just a kid (13 years old), and going back there at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in 2018, having a feeling of “I’ve been here before”. Lol, had no idea I was actually where the concert was! I wasn’t even born yet… (1993 here), but these guys were so special in my entire life

California coastal planning division differs on that. He's a superliberal hypocrite with elite privilege of his art forced by Apple, undeletable.

And even though the band must have had disagreements over the years, you never hear about their dirty laundry. They are a solid unit.

What did Obama say to the little Goblins 👻 that bounced and bubbled up to his door on Halloween? 👖😇💬"Vote🌊!! Don't Boo!"🎶

The worst thing they've done is the itunes automatic download of their album onto phones. Not too bad.

Adam Clayton, the bass player, was arrested several times for possession of heroin. So there's that...

Me 2, I wish I could describe what this band has meant to me through the years, no words. Much 💜 one fan to another!! From Kentucky USA!

A lifelong friendship with Bono and U2.

@@herojeannabomb9802 Hi I totally agree, I played in a band during the late 80s...I met Bono on several occasions. I love the man!

same bro

I watched Bono & The Edge:A Sort Of Homecoming on Disney Plus & seeing a concert in some documentary way was just pure amazing.I would one day go to Dublin & maybe get a U2 experience tour.

ZZ Top has had the same 3 members since 1969.

@@PlannedObsolescence It's not a contest. It wa just a comment on Bono and the band. No need to make comparisons.

That explains the stale sound.

@@PlannedObsolescence not anymore - Dusty Hill died

And the music really deeply resonates with people.

I think I was about same time. First U2 song I ever heard was Fire and first album was War. Been a huge fan ever since

Mine since 1984, saw a clip of Bono on an MTV commercial and I fell in love and still am with the band. Ali is gorgeous !

Same here, but my interest in them is restricted to their first four albums (Boy, October, War and Unforgettable Fire). Those four constitute one of the best four-album sequences of any band ever.

War changed my life - I'm so glad to see all the Love here

They were old news by then...their hit ''I Will Follow '' had been out for years

Same. Their music is the back ground sound of my youth 🥰

@@7drunkenmermaids431 sorry to hear that

Quite the memory, isn't it?

what a show to have seen

1987 freshman year at U of Iowa

He's mouthy and opinionated and believes that everything he does for the good of the planet is valuable. I guess they would rather he was Yee....

I heard him being interviewed years ago. Bono believes America should be for those that need it.

Messiah complex pain in the aah WEF stooge

Tax exile

He would agree with the mouthy part. Who cares? You clearly have no idea what he’s helped accomplish for others.

This is true. I grew up in a Baptist church and there were moments of long parish prayer with music that you could feel the "Holy Ghost" run through you and the parish. It was such a rush. I watched 'Rattle and Hum' in a Dolby wide screen theater with a packed audience in 1988. I got that familiar religious feeling and feel in love with the band. Each concert I went to produced a stronger and stronger result. I took my sister to one of their concerts in 2009 and made no mention of the religious experience out of fear she wouldn't have it for fear of blasphemy. At the end of the concert she said, "I didn't realize U2 was a Christian band." She started to explain the feelings of the "Holy Ghost" washing through her. There is something about combination of Larry's drum playing, the Edge's guitar playing lifting you up on a musical wave in the sky, Bono's emotional pouring of his voice and the crowd in sync as they sing along that lifts you up into a spiritual realm. You can't beat a live U2 performance. When I listen to U2, it has to be live performances.

Same here.Being older, I saw them on the War Tour when I was 14.

We are about the same age and I completely get what you posted. First song on debut album (I Will Follow) I was hooked. I devoured the early albums in the 80's constantly. With "Joshua Tree" and "Rattle and Hum" movie/album I was obsessed. I have taken my wife to see dozens of legends for years and U2 is still her favorite live concerts.

Edge singing it solo, full of all that pain and heartbreak, had me in floods of tears.

@@PaulsRU-vid Wow, great post/comment. thanks.

that was an amazing show, Eddie Vedder came out in the end I think? WIld horses was played too with the guy they pulled in stage, 10/10

Oooo, so edgy!

Mine too. Ain’t that something?

@@tommyz9910 They are very sincere in their songs, and none of their albums are alike. They always amaze and surprise.

Miracle Drug is the one song that really hits me hard by them. I lost a girlfriend to leukemia I wish there'd of been a miracle drug 😢

@@KOSMICKEN09 So sad. I wish you endurance.

yeah I like him too but Steve Perry is my all time favorite when it comes to rockers.

@@leecowell8165 Bono is number one favorite

@@leecowell8165 Love U2 + Bono... however... Steve Perry has the best voice in music history! I appreciate your comment.

keep that attitude. you're a rare unicorn x he's incredible for the record

It says who they are inside. Angry, jealous, bitter, cynical. Bless them all.

@@HEAVYHONEY1 This is extremely accurate for everyone I've ever met who "hates" Bono, yet can't explain why.

I think it’s cause most irish people don’t like overly sincere people. We find it kind of fake and it makes us uncomfortable. Perhaps it will change in time but in some ways it’s a good thing.

Agreed. But it’s not just him. It’s the entire band. It’s puzzled me as well because they’re not bad guys. In fact, quite the opposite. I believe a major factor in why that dynamic exists with them is because of how long(and consistently) the band has been around with zero lineup changes/break ups. In fact, they are now officially the longest running band in the history of rock without lineup changes, break ups, deaths, etc. So I think at some point it becomes a matter of public exhaustion. Its kinda like the exact opposite effect of why legacies of certain artists/actors/politicians grow exponentially when they die young/at their peak(Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, James Dean, JFK, RFK, etc.). Those individuals are frozen in time without anyone seeing any personal/artistic/cognitive decline.. Whereas with U2/Bono, their legacies have declined a bit because we’ve witnessed their downslope. I’m not saying that’s the only reason. But I’m convinced it is a major reason for the dynamic we just described.

The Best concert I ever saw was 25 years ago today - U2 the Pop Mart tour at the Pontiac Silverdome

I find it absolutely stunning that he can do the bidding for the most horrible men on earth, and champion their plans, and just walk about like nothing happened.

My concert was Cork in 1987 it has to be the greatest concert of my life, never to be surpassed.

@@pamle1 You’re an idiot.

Noine, Gary?

Lucky!!! I have seen U2 3 times in concert I am 62 and I hope I get to 1 my time!!!

@@letsrockgold407 I'm 61. I haven't seen them since I was in my forties. Would love at least one more.

He is ageing gracefully. Which is a commendable thing.

Great point Geoff, I am getting my own wrinkles now too, so I am even more impressed Bono has accepted it. He could have gotten work done, trying to keep looking young. The man is comfortable with himself, a legend

@@thomasjosullivan9179 he is not comfortable with himself, you can literally feel his demons circlicng around his alcoholic head... he should have gotten surgery, if he is unae to get rid of them...

@@maticbukovac6966 I have no interest in what you think Matic and I am pretty sure Bono has even less.

U2 completely changed what music means to me - a huge influence

me too. love joshua tree and b4 that wide awske in america live ep. pls get in touch

I still have my Boy and War cassette tapes-no cassette player to listen to them, but so nostalgic I keep them just the same. Maybe ought to find a vintage Walkman for old times sake.

@@iwillsinganewsong You had the foresight to hang onto them. I wish I had kept mine!!

don't make me puke

I thought they were one of the most relentlessly-touring groups ever? They’ve been nearly everywhere throughout the years.

@@erikm8372 sorry should have clarified, the key word was "anymore" there hasn't been a US tour since 2017 and Us tickets are extremely hard to get first hand, usually always paying over $100 per ticket

♥️

Bono lost his mother as a teenager. The song "Lemon" is about finding an old 8mm film of her wearing a yellow dress. In fact a lot of his songs have some reference to her death and how it affected him.

They need to make a decent new record though. Red hot chilli 🌶 peppers have just done two in a row

@Doug Doug No doubt about it U2 is biggest band on earth

I hope you've started reading it. He's funny and witty and very readable. The audiobook is phenomenal too -- he's the reader! Fabulous.

Saw her in Dublin airport with her youngest daughter walking through duty free. She is a class act. Very Down to earth yet sophisticated. Great family!

Nothing to do with his music it’s his preaching about poverty while the same time does everything to hold on to his millions. Supports the rich while wanting the poor to tighten their belts

@@davidclarke8750 He doesn't "preach" about poverty. He walks the walk. He has successfully lobbied first world governments to forgive hundreds of billions of debt to impoverished countries. He has personally used his connections with wealthy and powerful people to raise billions for direct aid to the worlds poorest, raising money for housing, food and fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa. And he has personally donated millions of his own money. Just because he's wealthy (with money he earned by the way), doesn't mean he's a bad person. He has used his position for nothing but good. And he has never asked the poor to "tighten their belts". You're really reaching here.

@@davidclarke8750 you 100% have Bono all wrong. He has been, and still is, an advocate for the poor. He's donated millions of his own money, raised millions from charity auctions, used his phone book to solicit additional millions from "rich friends", and most importantly he's donated a LOT of his own time helping the poor. In fact, U2 almost ceased to exist around the late 90's because of the amount of time Bono was spending on his charity work. The band ended up giving him an ultimatum. Bono has always said that both he and the band try and use their "celebrity" status as "currency." Meaning, if they can use their status to make the world a better place and help those that need it then they have done their job.

Of course you will never understand why people dislike this Davos-based World Economic Forum puppet.

They do donate millions During covid alone they spent 10 million of their own money bringing ppe to hospitals from China

I was hooked on U2 ever since that amazing year of 82' as well. Absolutely love those guys and what they stand for. ☘️❤

Hands down the best frontman I've ever seen you can't take your eyes off him

Amen!! ☺️🥰

David, I hope you've had the chance to start it. He's clever and funny and very readable, and the audiobook is great too. He's the reader for it -- phenomenal! Enjoy. : )

I think she does

Bono has done more to destroy Europe than any other entertainer. He has the same politics as Bill Gates and Tony Blair. Ireland is being completely demographically destroyed with open borders and your boy is happy about it. The American Empire wants war with Russia and Bono is happy to promote that too. If he wasn't a Globalist shill he wouldn't be getting positive coverage from American Corporate Media.

@truthseeker proof

Yes, Alexander. Agree! I was lucky enough to have discovered them right from Boy in 1980 and have gone along with them ever since, loving every minute of their music and humanitarian work. So grateful for them and their work.
