The first Super Bowl after 9/11 U2 was the halftime performers. As they played this song they had a gigantic wall behind them that scrolled the names of every single person that died on Sept 11th. This song hits alot differently for me now after experiencing that performance. I hope y’all look it up and watch it. Don’t even react to it. Just watch it for y’all. There won’t be a dry eye in the house. Love this song. Thank y’all.

I was there! It was crazy! There was a short article in the LA Times that morning about the video shoot so my friend and I headed downtown early because the article said the video shoot was supposed to start at 2:30. It actually ended way before then because it was shut down by LAPD. We got there before noon and heard music playing. I thought someone was just playing U2 songs on speakers, but it was Bono actually singing! He was on top of the roof and there was no one else around us and he waved! (So cool! We’re both HUGE U2 fans). About an hour or so, it got super crowded, people crossing the street in traffic. The video is edited, a lot of the crowd shots were before they played. They only played the song twice before the shutdown. After the shutdown, Bono waved to the crowd to come across the street. (That’s the part you see us all running in the video) We were now in the front of the crowd on the sidewalk so we ran to avoid getting run over by the crowd behind us. All four band members came to the edge of the rooftop and we were all waving and screaming. We (the crowd) had no idea the video shoot was being shutdown. It was so much fun! I just wish I had a better camera! Lol!

Here is Bono speaking about the song, being spiritual. “We can be in the middle of the worst gig in our lives, but when we go into that song, everything changes. The audience is on its feet, singing along with every word. It’s like God suddenly walks through the room. It’s the point where craft ends and spirit begins. How else do you explain it?” - Bono, Los Angeles Times 2004

Good idea! Btw, MLK was shot at 6:05 PM on the evening of April 4, 1968. But in their song “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, Bono sings the memorable (& some would say “iconic “) lines "Early morning, April 4 / A shot rings out in the Memphis sky,". Now I heard that U2 will sometimes change the lyric in live performances to “Early evening, April 4” because they are now aware of their historical error.

I've lived in Santa Monica/Los Angeles/Hollywood my entire life. A few friends and I heard about it late and decided to make our way downtown to catch the show. Unfortunately, the streets were so busy and there was nowhere close by to park. We did find a spot about eight blocks away and quickly made our way towards Main Street, and we could hear the music as we got closer. Two blocks away we then heard silence, except for the crowd screaming. It was shut down as we neared main and 7th Street, so it was heart wrenching to know we were just fifteen minutes too late. We hung out for a bit, trying to at least get a glance of U2, but that was not to be either. We strolled back to my friend's car only to find that it had been towed for illegal parking. It was a long, quiet ride on the bus back to Hollywood where I lived. I stoically stared out the window as the silent city passed on by. It's a sad story, but just one of the many sad stories that come with living in the city of Los Angeles. Sometimes it can be the city of broken dreams.

A quick story about the Red Hot Chili Peppers is when they first started out, not a dime between them and sleeping on friends' couches, they came out on stage at a club I worked at butt naked except for socks on their private parts. The place went nuts and the soundman blew a gasket when Flea started peeing on one of the floor monitors. As lighting director, I turned down the stage lights and focused the spotlight in a tight circle on his penis. I wish I had a camera back then. Hahaha. Hope you have a wonderful day!

U2 were absolute rock gods at that time, just an enormous music juggernaut, and their THE JOSHUA TREE album was selling millions of copies and tracks from it were constantly being played on the radio.

@BinThere DoneThat Interesting to hear some of the inside story. Thanks. I’ve read that U2 had basically mortgaged their future by putting up the money to make that live concert film at Red Rocks (manager Paul Guinness’s idea). If the film gamble had failed as a promo tool, they’d have been in trouble. What the weather did that day & later that evening-I’ve always considered it the invisible hand of destiny at work. As Bono later said, they ended up getting *”a million dollars worth of free visual effects”* that night for their MTV videos & the film. It created such a unique scene and energy that set the young band apart. What performers get that lucky? U2. Red Rocks was a launching point for their stardom.

Like others I'd recommend reacting to U2's halftime show after 9/11. Their live performance of this song was amazing. In the past their halftime show was ranked the #1 or #2 (#1 Prince) halftime show. So emotional after 9/11. I'd also recommend their song with Green Day "'The Saints are Coming". That was the first halftime show at the Superdome in LA after hurricane Katrina. I'm a lifelong fan of U2 and have seen them 5 times in concert.

This is one of my favorite songs. It's about heaven, where we won't be separated by the walls that separate us. It's all about love. They grew up in the Troubles in Ireland and went to one of the only cross religion schools in Dublin. They wanted healing for Ireland. Also, the Edge's guitar on this is just unreal.

@douglastong3208 Год назад

True. For those who are too young to know, U2 wrote some of their music because Irish were killing Irish (and British) because of political and religious differences. U2 had a knack for writing very moving and emotional songs that resonated with many around the world. And Bono's voice...wow!

@orlab4459 Год назад

@aaron duncanson They didn't grow up in the Troubles, they grew up at the same time the Troubles were happening, in Dublin, which is over 100 miles from where they were going on. They were affected only because they chose to acknowledge it, which many Irish people didn't at the time. Also, they attended a protestant school, of which there are many in Ireland. Its also not about heaven. it's about the fact that you could be identified by religion based on the street you grew up, which ties in with the theme of the Troubles. The Edge is amazing though

It comes from the IRA taking down street signs in order to confuse the British Dublin, where they’re from, was not involved in the troubles however & they grew up Catholic. Many early songs have religious references & undertones “40” for example is just the fortieth Psalm put to their music. “Until The End of the World “ is about Judas & Jesus.

U2 has had an interesting career. They started out as Christians making some very good music and political statements about their native Ireland. The first 3 albums were them finding themselves and coming to terms with a rock ethos that collided with their Christian faith. They took a sharpe turn with The Joshua Tree(although "Still haven't found what I'm Looking For" has Christian references). That album made them global superstars. Then they come back and basically cut The Joshua Tree down with Rattle and Hum. Which was an attempt at a very commercial album. And they were very successful with a more pop approach. Auchtung Baby which was more experimental came next. This is their best album in my opinion because you heard things on that album that were very original and hadn't been before. Edge became the most influential guitarist of his generation with his approach. Many would copy his style. Then came Zooropa, which was another departure and reinvention of the U2 sound. This was something seldom seen in music at the time. A rock band had done 4 albums, all very successful, and reinvented themselves with every album. These are the 4 albums that define U2s career if you ask me and the most important albums they did. If you're going to listen to one of their albums you're going to pick one of these albums. That's not to say Unforgettable Fire and October doesn't have some of their best songs. Albums that followed also had some great stuff. How to Dismantle the Atomic Bomb, Pop, and Songs of Innocence were all good. But still say the 4 albums in the middle of their career is where the magic is at. Listen to The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, Auchtung Baby, and Zooropa if you want the best of U2. Their career is unique in rock and worth a deep dive.

@TheNewRevolution Год назад

@Mandy Jones I love their early stuff as well. I stated that some of their best songs were on their early albums. But for me, the 4 albums in the middle of their career really define their career. Starting with The Joshua Tree. They did things on those albums that no one else was doing. The Edge really found a style on guitar that so many tried to copy. When I listen to one of their songs, I will go back to the early recordings. But if I'm going to put an album on and just press play It's going to be either The Joshua Tree or Auchtung Baby. That's just my taste. But New Years Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, and some of their earlier songs are still some of my favorites. They are truly a one of a kind band. It's hard for me to come up with another band to even compare them to, as far as their career goes.

@patriciamonsivaiz3305 Год назад

U2 is STILL one of the most significant rock bands of the last 40 yrs. I've been a fan since junior high. I've been fortunate enough to see them multiple times in concert the most recent being in 2017 when they did the 40th anniversary tour for the "Joshua Tree" album. They started off wanting to be a Christian rock band and a lot of their earlier songs like "Gloria" (not about a woman but rather a song about God. Note that they use Latin in the lyrics) as well as "40" a reference to Psalm 40 are just a testament to their faith. If you happen to read the Bible, you'll recognize a lot of Christian references in their songs. In "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" the lyrics "You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains, carried the cross of my shame, of my shame, you know I believe it" clearly is referring to Jesus carrying the cross for our sins. "Where the Streets Have No Name" is about heaven as another subscriber pointed out as street names of where we live are a socioeconomic indicator. In heaven, there will be nothing to separate us or point out our differences. You'll find Christian references as well in their later work such as in "Beautiful Day" which says "See the bird with the leaf in her mouth, after the flood all the colors came out" is a reference to when God flooded the earth during the time of Noah due to man's disobedience. To ensure that there was dry land after 40 days and 40 nights of rain, Noah set out a dove and she returned with a leaf in her beak and a rainbow appeared in the sky as God promised to never flood the earth again.

"The Joshua Tree" and "The Unforgettable Fire", both produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, are complete masterpiece albums. Amazing, unpredictable music, poetic lyrics and audio production that turned U2 from a Punk Rock band to a truly Progressive Rock band. The emotional impact of the songs on both albums is deep, varied and touching. With these two records, U2 became the only band in the world that mattered.

I wasn’t there, but I have a great U2 free concert story… I’m from Hershey, PA and it was the summer of 1992 (I was going into 10th grade), and they practiced in our town stadium for an entire week for the Achtung Baby Tour (song: Even Better than the Real Thing). We could sit on our porches and hear them practice all day… it was amazing. At the end of the week they gave a free concert to anyone in the town who wanted to attend. Like you said, they were doing it for the love of music. I will forever remember that week. ❤

Similar ... I got to go to an actual concert in Oct 1992 for free.

It was an amazing event in my life!

One of my favourite songs, but the video intro actually detracts from appreciating the song in its entirety. The early "synth" intro and build up before The Edge's chiming guitars gradually ease in are part of what makes the song so great and it's unfortunately lost with all the dialogue intruding here.

And we all sang the same lyrics and that was strange and awesome.

No joke, you could NOT get tickets to U2 back then unless you risked trying to get scalper tickets at the show and were prepared and able to spend a lot on those tickets. I never saw U2 because of it and it's about the only band of the time I didn't see because I saw all the others. Joshua Tree was such a phenomenal album and it set off a U2 craze. Thanks for doing this song, I think I requested this song along with others I'm sure lol I'd be surprised if any were actually there as I thought this performance was on the wild streets of Skid Row, where all the drugs and homeless were/are. Bad neighborhood but that's U2 for ya performing for the poorest and most needy. They were the real deal with their charity unless some others who are posers.

@caseymoe816 Год назад

Yes, tickets were hard to get every time they came to Los Angeles, but especially on the JT tour. My girlfriend and I basically quit our jobs and stood in Will Call everyday for hours waiting for the venue to release tickets-which they would do about an hour before each show. Face value tickets, no scalpers. Missed the first night, but got in 4 out of 5 nights. Worth every minute and every dollar. So many great people in line. Everyone having a good time. Bono and The Edge would come out almost everyday and walk around the venue meeting people, asking about their lives. Humble, nice people, and I got to shake Edge’s hand. Great memories. Unbelievable concerts.

I’ve seen U2 three times and this is the part of the show where everyone always goes nuts. Their shows are so much fun-always a major production, always high-energy. These guys are in their early 60s at this point and still bring it. I saw their 30th anniversary Joshua Tree tour in Detroit back in 2017 (their most famous album, the one this song is from) and was standing two rows from the stage. There are bands I probably like more than them nowadays and whom I’ve seen in concert more, but that U2 show is still the best I’ve ever seen. Edit: Dave Matthews Band did a massive free live show in Central Park back in 2003 that brought out over 120,000 people. I suggest checking out their song “Don’t Drink The Water,” specifically from that concert. The energy of the crowd is almost palpable. I’ve seen them at least 7 times (lost count at this point) and they’re another band that always brings the energy, always has a great show.

@ToABrighterFuture Год назад

Crazy thing about this song is that it's got a whole bunch of chord changes and even some time signature shifts, and the band was having a dickens of a time getting a good performance on tape. So the original album version, which you hear in this video, was pieced together from a bunch of studio takes, and it's best understood as a first approximation of how it's meant to sound. Several years of performing it live, have made it a MUCH better song now, than it was back when this video was made. And LA's Finest actually gave them a little more wiggle room than the video suggests. U2 were hoping for something much more dramatic, but the LAPD kept giving them extensions. It wasn't many, of course, but they got four complete runs through "Streets," and had room for four other songs, as well. The video makes it seem like they only got to perform one song, in only one take...which isn't historically what happened, but it does make for a good music video.
