I can remember back in 1988 when I went to the cinema to watch this movie this scene overwhelmed me. Total passion and a blistering performance. Even now it makes me emotional. THIS is what Rock n Roll is all about. If you want evidence that U2 mattered back then......just watch this video.
This has been my favorite version of Sunday Bloody Sunday, since I first saw the movie, Rattle and Hum. That remains to this day over thirty years later and is also a reason why this song remains one of my favorite U2 songs of all time.
+BRAD PITT ?? Weird! He has spoke out against the coalition invasion of Iraq many times. I think he, supported the invasion of Afghanistan. The point here is that he put himself in danger here. He really didn't need to. He saved lives at a risk to his own. Maybe you have done better than that in your life, but I haven't PS, You were crap in 'Friends'
I saw them on this tour, my first ever concert going without a parent or older family member. We went with my friend's older sister. We were 14. Such an awesome experience. So much energy. What a voice.
I saw U2 three times on the original Joshua Tree tour. I was 20 years old. I wish I had a time machine, those early U2 concerts were magic ❤️ I’m a Mom now and too poor to be able to go to one now. LOL
I am sending my child his message. I know Derry very well. I love his message .but seems what I see me w Is a clone..bit I was in Derry. @@nealferguson7481
I can't even stand how much I love this particular version of Sunday Bloody Sunday. I remember when I saw Rattle and Hum in the movie theater. I was in 8th grade. I went with a bunch of girlfriends. Most got bored. Me and one other girl were mesmerized. I could not take my eyes off the screen. It was a magical, spiritual experience I will never forget. I went home and told my parents and their friends about it. I told them about the part when Bono said, "Fuck the revolution." I was an 8th grader in a Catholic School. We didn't cuss. It was a glorious thing to tell my parents. They didn't "care" because it revolved around music and tragedy and they are music junkies (and big fans of U2). I have this movie on VHS and DVD. I'm now 41 years old and I am still obsessed. Some things just stick with you. We grew up listening to the Stones- my parents are huge fans, and when Bono started singing Ruby Tuesday in this movie I about lost it. I can remember my parents and their friends dancing on the dining room table to Ruby Tuesday when we were kids. They were and are so much fun and we had to best childhood and this movie and album just remind me of all things good in my life.
i wasn’t born when this movie came out. i’m 14 years old, and a huge fan early U2. i purchased the (used) vhs yesterday at my local record store, and watched it on my grandparents vcr last night. i was hooked. i rewound it and watched it twice last night.
Thanks for sharing that's good stuff. I was broke in college outside Nashville and saved up enough money to see them in Louisville Ky during Joshua Tree tour. It was life changing. I felt as if I had been to the best inspirational and spiritual church service you could imagine. Then a few weeks later they announced a concert date at the University I was attending! Twice in one tour at 18 yo. It still is likely the best show I've ever seen. Clapton, Ray Charles, BB King, Springsteen, Pink Floyd. I've seen them all and many more. Maybe better musicians, but Bono held the crowd in his hand and made you feel as one and you could change the world for better.
From U2 to Ukraine . Thank you very much Boris. You proved my observation as correct when I was 11 years of age in 1977 during my trip to London and Coventry with my mother.
I keep coming back to this version of Sunday Bloody Sunday. It captured a moment in time, and their emotions are so raw. Amazing performance of a great song.
As an ex infantry solider who served in Belfast in 2001 I was subject to the hate and the killing first hand. And out of principle have never listened to a u2 song because I was fed a narrative that they supported the IRA. Hearing his words today brought me to tears about my own bigotry and how all these years I have missed being able to tap into this talent.
@@m118lr His service is what, as an enlisted soldier is what he was told to do. Enlisted men or women don't get to choose their postings. He corrected his bigotory and should be applauded for that, not reviled. Oh, I'm Welsh, we suffered more - check your history around Churchill
Falls Rd, British army on patrol.olld fridges and buckets of shit thrown frm balconies.young lad lad on POINT stuck his head around a st corner and had his head took off by a sniper from behind a chimney stack,neadlless to say nothing left of the roof when the boys let loose.Nothing glorious in war...no winners.just pain and hurt
@@grantsecomb I have loved U2, for literally-as long as I can remember; The first Album I ever owned was The Joshua Tree; the earliest Music I can remember hearing were my parent’s ‘Joshua Tree’ Cassette Tape, the ‘Achtung Baby’, ‘War’ ‘Rattle & Hum’ CDs, and the ‘Live At Red Rocks/Under a Blood Red Sky’ CD/VHS. On top of that: Bono’s Live Vocal of _”Bad”_ (from ‘Wide Awake in America’-is the reason I became a Singer… And, Larry Mullen’s Drumming on ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’ is the reason I started Drumming. I think all of those things-show how much, and how long-I have loved and admired U2. So, now that I have said all of that-I will say this: ‘U2 is _not_ The Greatest Artist of All Time. They are definitely _among_ the All Time Great Artist, but they are not THE All Time Greatest Artist. And there’s a very simple reason for that: There is only *One* acceptable Choice for _’The Greatest Musical Artist of All Time’_ - It’s indisputable, and there isn’t a Single Artist that even comes close. _The Greatest Artist Of All Time is:_ *The Beatles.*
shakes me to the bones .....what a song .....and the statement....should be taken in context all over the WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tears every time i hear it .....THX U2
sapete perchè amo gli U2 e il loro Rock?perchè attraverso le loro canzoni e la voce graffiante di Bono,esprimono i sentimenti più belli e li urlano a tutto il mondo con le loro grando canzoni!NO MORE SAY,NO MORE,NO MORE!SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY!
Been a fan of U2 for years, it had been a while since I had listened to this song and Helter Skelter.....tks for reminding me F.VN. of my yester years.....bringing back so many memories!!
No More???...HAH......just because the bombs have stopped and the guns are currently silent, it still goes on, look every year during marching season, and I guarantee if a Brexit happens then once again the bullets will fly and more bombs will go off like it was ..........Britts want a hard boarder then well that will be the result.....AGAIN
I remember that day in Enniskillen. It was just up the road from where I lived. The humanity of Gordon Wilson in the days after. That time, that moment, those words. that song. Some 40 years on, it still sends a shiver.....down me.
The way edge struts out during the solo is so friggen awesome. When he screams "No MORE!" and his voice breaks, I get goosebumps every time! So much emotion!!
Yo tenía 20 años cuando escuché esta canción y, al mismo tiempo, conocí a un grupo qué empezaba a darse a conocer.... Y ahora son referentes a nivel mundial. (En aquella época estaba en el ejército: y ponía la radio "a tope", menos mal que nunca me arrestaron).
Uno de los homenajes más sinceros y con profunda sensibilidad a todas las víctimas inocentes de las guerras. Sangre, lágrimas y sufrimiento: Nunca más. Seguirán viviendo en nuestro recuerdo y corazón. Pero el hombre no deja de repetir los horrores: Hasta cuando?. (El riff de guitarra, bajo, batería y la voz de Bono: crean un ambiente" inquietante")
I know these words! Even after many years of not listening to U2. But I’ll never forget, the Irish spirit that draws me in. Keeps me coming back, these are universal sentiments. And I’m grateful!this is why U2 and Sinead are important.
Absolutely amazing version! Fantastic performance by Bono ! This is U2 becoming the greatest rock band on the planet and on their way to reach their peak on Achtung Baby a few years later.
80's at its FULL GLORY !!! And if one remember the SAME guys ALSO produced WITH or WITHOUT YOU and I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR and WHERE THE STREETS HAD NO NAME for the SINGULAR Joshua Tree album and them IN THE NAME OF LOVE and SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY one knows WHY U2 was simply THE band of the 80's...
Aktueller als je zuvor....hoffen wir das es bald keine blutigen Sonntage mehr gibt auf unserer Welt. ♥️🍀🥰 Über diese Band ist alles gesagt....GENIAL💥💯👍🥰
Its wonderful they use thire music to talk about political and christian belives. Just listen to thire music and lyrics pride is a good one. Amost all there music has great lyrics
Bono’s vocal, especially in the first part, is just amazing. The emotion, his tone, his pitch, his power ... His vibrato on _”Wall”_ at 2:08 … _Everything_ is absolutely perfect. He’s hitting G#4’s and Bb4’s like they’re nothing. You don’t realize how high those notes are until you try to sing them.
You're talking in midi terms of G#4 etc, right? C3 in midi is the normal C in music (440hz). His voice is one of the absolute best... And today people say the singer of Bastille is good😢

Another pivotal moment in U2 history that happened here in Denver. Throw in the Red Rocks Video and you can say this is where U2 has had some of their most amazing moments. Colorado Loves U2!
Part of this was filmed at MTSU in Tennessee. I was there. I think it's a repeat of Denver because Inniskillin happened on Nov. 8, 1987. He made the same speech at MTSU on Nov. 28, 1987. I think this very scene is in Tennessee. It WAS very powerful and very hard to forget. The MTSU concert was not on their schedule. They had to find a smaller arena to mix more intimate scenes into the movie. Bono explained what they were doing before the concert.
" ladies and gentlemen ... I will follow " then he does that irish jig high knee dance thing while the edge plays one of the greatest guitar riffs ever. oh, and then there is the split second where the haunting piano of october leads into the teeth rattling bass line of new year's day. goosebumps even now when i watch it.
@@ObamaFromKenya yeah, and the Stones are in their late 70s. All these rockers of any worth are fading fast, and their music does mellow. It's happening to all us old codgers. Se le vie!
One of my favorite songs - top 3! I can remember when we listened to it the first time in 1982 or 1983 - there was so much power and spirit in this song although we realized several years later the true mining of this song and what happened on 30th of January 1972 in (London)Derry. Due to the motion picture "Bloody sunday" by Paul Greengrass I was scared about the fact, that all this took place in a country which is member of the EU and the NATO... Stand up for freedom and liberty in Europe! We shall overcome!
I'm old Boston guy, I remember Boston was one of there first American your stops, after this they blew up huge, obviously because of great songs like this one. Thanks for memories
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" grew from a guitar riff and lyric written by The Edge in 1982. While newlyweds Bono and Ali Hewson honeymooned in Jamaica, The Edge worked in Ireland on music for the band's upcoming album. Following an argument with his girlfriend, and a period of doubt in his own song-writing abilities, The Edge-"feeling depressed... channeled [his] fear and frustration and self-loathing into a piece of music". This early draft did not yet have a title or chorus melody, but did contain a structural outline and theme. After Bono had reworked the lyrics, the band recorded the song at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. During the sessions, producer Steve Lillywhite encouraged drummer Larry Mullen Jr. to use a click track, but Mullen was firmly against the idea. A chance meeting with Andy Newmark (of Sly & the Family Stone) - a drummer who used a click track religiously - changed Mullen's mind. The opening drum pattern soon developed into the song's hook. A local violinist, Steve Wickham, approached The Edge one morning at a bus stop and asked if U2 had any need for a violin on their next album. In the studio for only half a day, Wickham's electric violin became the final instrumental contribution to the song. Drummer Mullen said of the song in 1983: "We're into the politics of people, we're not into politics. Like you talk about Northern Ireland, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday,' people sort of think, 'Oh, that time when 13 Catholics were shot by British soldiers'; that's not what the song is about. That's an incident, the most famous incident in Northern Ireland and it's the strongest way of saying, 'How long? How long do we have to put up with this?' I don't care who's who - Catholics, Protestants, whatever. You know people are dying every single day through bitterness and hate, and we're saying why? What's the point? And you can move that into places like El Salvador and other similar situations - people dying. Let's forget the politics, let's stop shooting each other and sit around the table and talk about it... There are a lot of bands taking sides saying politics is crap, etc. Well, so what! The real battle is people dying, that's the real battle".
No big production, no fancy glasses and clothes, just emotions, awareness and great music! Too bad I was too young in 1987 to be at the Joshua Tree concerts! After the ZOO TV era they should have stopped it and said to themselves: Ok, we gave them some fanciness and technology, now let's go back to the "old" U2!
Actually the beat of a song is just a thump thump thump and alone is rather plain or boring. That's more of a drum or bass guitar description. Guitars are rhythmic instruments. A better description would be an energetic rhythm or a powerful chord progression. The Edge is an amazing guitarist. Awesome use of effects to make a sound that is totally unique. Love U2. Nobody sounds like them.
for real? i mean, is that the popular word? like when you talk about the song, you say something like "Nice voice, deep lyrics, good beat or cool flow" and if you wanna say something positive about the guitars theres only da opporturnity to say "wow, what a nice chord progression"?
i mean their music in general. aside from a small handful of songs, i'm not impressed with anything they've made since achtung baby. im sure they still rock live
AstroKnott I loved how to dismantle an atomic bomb. The more recent album I liked 3 or 4 off of it that was about it. But I'm looking forward to songs of experiences coming soon
Saudades....em 2024 a ouvir e as recordações dos anos de estudante em Coimbra....quantas vezes esta cassete rolou....saudades saudades de tudo, minha querida Coimbra..❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢

I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away How long, how long must we sing this song How long, how long Tonight we can be as one, tonight Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across a dead end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up, my back up against the wall Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday And the battle's yet begun, There's many lost, but tell me who has won Trenches dug within our hearts And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday How long, how long must we sing this song How long, how long Tonight we can be as one Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight Yeah, yeah. And let me tell you something. I've had enough of Irish-Americans who haven't been back to their country in 20 or 30 years come up to me and talk about the resistance, the revolution back home, and the glory of the revolution, and the glory of dying for the revolution. Fuck the revolution! They don't talk about the glory of killing for the revolution. What's the glory of taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and his children? Where's the glory in that? Where is the glory in bombing a remembrance day parade of old-age pensioners, their medals taken out an polished up for the day? Where's the glory in that? To leave them dying or crippled for life or dead under the rubble of the revolution that the majority of the people in my country don't want. No more Sing no more No more No more No more No more No more No more No more No more Wipe your tears away Wipe your tears away Wipe your blood Sunday bloody Sunday Wipe your blood shot eyes Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday Sing it Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday It's enough And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and T.V. reality And today the millions die We eat and drink while tomorrow they die Sunday bloody Sunday The real battle just begun Sunday bloody Sunday Will claim the victory Jesus won Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday Sunday bloody Sunday
