when I was 13 and homeless(kick out 3 months, every summer which was awesome to me) but lived in a rich town on Long Island where we all made enough to buy cheap cars,and we still had dirt roads out east in farmland Long Island...I remember hooking the radio straight to the battery of this 400$ VW, and driving down this wavy road in the pouring rain and wind, it was a hot summer night and you couldn't see the sky, and I was speeding so fast and when this came on...I went insane...and every time I play it on the drums that night is playing in the back of my mind..such a short song, such great power....you can feel the wind and rain..
They played all 11 songs from The Joshua Tree album in order, so it is inevitable they would play 'Exit'. I saw them in London on that tour, I was impressed - the screen they had was the biggest screen anyone has ever built. The tour had running costs of £500,000, that's $680,000, a day including all the non-gig days - that is £3,500,000 or $4,760,000 a week.
One of my all time most fave u2 tunes. So dark, so meanacing. This song was a highlight on the original tour of 1987.....and it was THE high point of the 30th Anniversary tour.
I loved this song way back in 2001 when no one else did. It is nice to see it circulating into the mainstream! Now i have all these new different live versions of the song now!! 😊 👍
During certain moments, sometimes I wish Bono would just shut up and let the music shine like he did in the Rattle and Hum "Exit", that performance still gives me shivers
I was at this concert and was actually working undercover feet in front of stage w/20 other agents due to what we took ( someone took?) valid threat “ of some sort” was the wild part. So we enjoyed ourselves vey much !
hahaha i was at this one with my folks, parents’ fav band and they wanted us kids to see them live too, they were a fav of mine before and that show only deepened my appreciation for the band
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! That was AWESOME!!!!! I can't believe they're doing this tour!!! Can't wait, going in 3 weeks in NY/NJ!! Thank you U2 for ALL the GREAT music over the years!!!
Gotta say exit was one that floated through my (me) (you) (them) (those) (that) (others) (thy) heart. The travel's continue. You do remind me of my father Mr. Paul. Our home is yours. Much love.
@@ricjuk Not agreed with you: Boy, October, War, Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, Achtung Baby... Their legacy is much more than you mention in that comment. Cheers!
My friend and I saw this tour in Detroit and I remember leaning over to him and saying “yo, watch this” as he wasn’t familiar with it and I had been watching clips online of the past performances over the years. It’s my third favorite U2 song.
Exit with some "Rattle and Hum" cords, this version is awesome. And as always an epic song with an epic message, very similar to R&H - Bullet the Blue Sky "...And a preacher on the old time gospel hour -- stealing money from the sick, and the old --- Well, the God I believe in isn't short on cash, mister!"
I heard this sono in Rome and i was surprised for that powerful version , really amazing and so "contemporary " after 30 years!! Thanks Tim for this video!!!!!
Wow the audio s excellent fuckin technology is great now you don't have to buy DVDs of concerts you can recorded with a portable camera and posted this song is my favorite from the album is so bombastic it reminds me a little bit of queen
Leave it to Bono to have the mic stand bolted in the ground, pretty wicked. It's funny how for the last couple of years, Bono went from literally fighting and dancing with the mic stand and using it like a weapon to it being fully stationary. Definitely the top in live settings
Juat fucking fantastic. Like so many U2 songs......in the studio, fine, meh, okay, mmmmm......live they just take on their own life and literally come alive. One of the greatest live bands in history.
I have always been amazed that they never used this song to characterize their shows for its power and presentation. Only recently revived for this tour but forgotten about since.
Hey Tim! I was just telling someone in the GA line about your amazing work and that I met you during 360 in Chicago. Are you at the Sun Chicago show too? I'm here right now.
