U2 Live in Dortmund 1984 [FULL CONCERT] HD 

Totally. U2 at their best.

@@padraigsisk4057 best band of the eighties

Amazing

​@@HW944Big Country

Live Aid took them to another level….Queen blew everyone else off the stage except U2

Exactly! And look at what a blast everyone is having, clapping, cheering, singing, not a care in the world besides this show. We didn't know what history we were witnessing, but at the same time we did. I'm very grateful to have seen this band, at that point in time. If only we had known that was pure bliss.

The Dortmund crowd are amazing. They're the same for the Simple Minds gig at the same venue the same year

One of my buddies was in that crowd; he was in the USAF, stationed in Munich at the time. Someone - I don't remember who - had to go on after U2 that night, and he felt sorry for them.

@@cletusbeauregard1972 Thanks for sharing..

I was thinking that too. People knew how to live in the moment way better back then. Just let it go and be.

I'm not a Black American, but I had, and still have, the same reaction. Great song, great band.

Amen. I'm in tears. Thank you U2 for bringing MLK and the gospel to so many.

Pride (in the name of love) was unlike anything else in the radio ever! Those three chiming notes! That drum roll! Just like when I first heard With Or Without You, it too was unlike anything I've ever heard on the radio

Merci nm gctache fa ni as

​@@michelefrantz2325 There's no such thing as a black or white American. You're not a Crayola crayon color.

You are Irish? I am American with Irish heritage and U2 was not the only band we could be proud of, try Stiff Little Fingers and Cactus World News. Two other bands that, as much as I love U2 could have mopped the floor with U2.

@@patrickodonnell6348 As much as I really love those 2 bands... come on boy, MOP THE FLOOR? XD

And Thin Lizzy were what? Fuck All? Go and give yourself an uppercut. TWAT.

@@patrickodonnell6348 although I Totally understand your observations, the comments from our Irish friend are spot on. I am from Brazil and as a teenager, I felt in love with U2 and got interested in Ireland. Now with all the respect, never ever heard of the bands you mentioned so Yes , U2 made a whole nation pround in the 80s and 90s and like he said, put Ireland on the map. Cheers!

@@patrickodonnell6348 It does not matter whether U2 is Irish or not.... To me, U2 is simply the best band of the last 40 years and the biggest and the best live band of the last 35 years.

Yeah it's great when you can pay attention to the band and what's happening around you instead of staring into a sea of cellphones.

Oh Yes! Enjoying the music in the moment ❤

Try not to define things by what they are not, lest you lose sight of the positive. That's how protestiants operate.

​@drsteele4749 What does being a Protestant have to do with that comment about phones?

Don't forget the Joshua tree era and acting baby

@@DerekObrien-tk7we Yes. The Joshua Tree is a great album and Actung also has some great music as well.

ikr? I think if anyone of them ever passes away..which is an eventuality..I think they'll collectively call it quits.

‘76??😳 I first heard them in ‘82 and I was completely blown away by their fresh sound🤯 Of course I’m in the US tho.

U2 are one of those rare bands where it’s the original line-up or nothing, if one member was run over crossing the street and was no longer around the band would instantly, and permanently, end. Another band like that was Led Zeppelin: when John Bonham died the band was done.

Best band ever why change?

Get's no argument from me. Memphis Dan LeLoLai

Blessed!

I'm not the only one who has this reaction to this amazing music then it just hits different eh damn I miss the 80s

​@@dubsnbuds6668 Same

Sounds like it was everything and more.

saw them in Marseille on 19 October 1984... unforgettable!

great story!

Same here, for me The Joshua Tree tour as well. We all walked out of the stadium while singing: 'How long, to sing this song'. But what really got me was the fact that we waited along the road to be picked op, en still hearing 40 sung by people, in every single car, on the road, with the windows wide open, all together: How long, to sing this song!

You probably saw the last performance of Indian Summer Sky ever! You've lived one of my dreams!

4 guys not 3

One of the best classic U2 performance

It truly is. Wish I could have been there, but I would have been underaged then. :)

@@LifeWorthLivin 7uuuu}990

more than words: u2

I'm still mesmerized looking at it now by what happened at the end with '40'. The music stopped and everyone kept singing.

you mean 30 years later?

Sure! Or 25 years :) First time I saw them was 1989 in Dortmund.

40 years later….and what ongoing magic was in the Sphere cannot be denied

Bonos voice was too hoarse during this tour so much that he lost his range in the high 2 middle notes

Bono did loose his incredible range and clear and concise way He /we was alot younger and at younger age, the strain over years r hard BUT MIRICLE notice after his Da passed Bono S voice miraculously was restored a gift his Da bestowed onto him after passing Bono believes it is why His voice came back thank you!!!Incredible brings me to tears and my knees!

Agreed. Nowadays Bono can't go from one song to another without rambling on about something political. Bit cringy for me anyway

Remind me not to be standing near you when they NYD.

@@dolfandumpy7395 😂

Beast isn't it?

@@Mysterywhiteboy78 Bono himself now sees the error of his ways with the mullet, as he's said about the mullet you shouldn't have hair that you need to iron.

Vod es Los?

Vos es Los?

All glory is fleeting.

@@drsteele4749 True

Totally agree with what you said about Bono just absolutely belting it out in Bad. My sense is this was the concert where the video for A Sort of Homecoming was shot. Same outfits to my recollection. And I don't care what anyone says, this haircut on Bono was the absolute greatest. As cool as could possibly be. Still love this band, no matter what. Cheers.

Faith,love= U2💗

Yep that era was truly unbelievable. They were magnetic. It's a time period etched forever in my memory because of them and their music. I can remember every stupid thing I did within that year based on the release of UF album through LIve Aid

Ashwin Ramdas This is my U2. The honest, meaningful and relevant U2. This band couldn't have written "Until the End of the World" or "One", given their sophistication. However, I remember Edge criticizing The Clash in 1983 for having become parodies of themselves. I couldn't stand U2 post 1991, ironically because they became willful parodies of themselves. Having a hedge fund principal as a lead singer would do that to a politically self aware band.

Azabaxe This is also my U2. I am a fan of U2 from this times and in the early 90´s i still U2 because they transform yourselves to the opposite of everything they are in the 80´s. Some years ago i forgiven. But i still identify with this part of the U2 history. THIS IS MY U2 BAND. And i hope that the time machine be invented before i died to can travel to this and others U2 concerts.

Azabaxe Been a fan and seeing them perform since 1983, Yeah, they do that to themselves today sometimes since 1991 but even U2 can't hide their own raw energy, indescribable talent, and magnificent power they possess during their live performances when they decide to quit messing around, put their game faces on, stop with the fluff for a few numbers and get real like they used to. I was at their first U.S. show of Songs of Innocence Tour in San Jose, after they got their groove on after a few numbers they went back to basics and blew away the audience. A strictly musical and vocal performance, when Bono began PERFECTLY singing "Every Breaking Wave" with Edge hitting those haunting piano notes- the house was brought down. A lot of people there didn't even know what the song was that Bono was singing and they were still into it.

Romansilvercoin I saw that tour in 4 different cities (Toronto, NYC, Belfast, and Dublin), and EVERY time that they played that, the audience was damn near silent. Also with far more people that I'd have expected singing along, given the backlash that that album received, due to the release methodology. The same goes for Raised By Wolves! Damn near everyone there seemed to not only know the song, but to reeeaaaalllly be into it!

U2 afin dan les oreilles 2ugchef

obvio

Wow. 100, fuck me you lucky bastard. I saw them once in Sydney 1984.

@@wrinkledfrotskin3800 , that was actually a gross exageration , a matter of speach I was counting and saw them actually 11 times. Seen in 1984 must have been a great experience since they were not so big then ! Long live U2

@@Mak08Mak 100, 11, 25, doesn't matter. I'm still envious. You lucky bastard.(respect).. They will always be brilliant, mate.

I believe this concert happened before unforgettable fire was released. Would be epic to first hear the new songs from that album in concert.

more and more and more

+Craig Dunn i can verify that they are i have followed them since 1980 and seen them nine times live, there's a spirit about this band that is unmatched, and live is their domain...

John Gosper I've followed them since 1991, and will be seeing them for my 9th time this summer, 10th, too, if they vary the setlist enough to justify going to a different city (I'm lucky that they're playing my city's football stadium).

@@TheBigjohn67 ...everyone walking out of the concert back then singing "40" was an absolutely amazing experience. HOOOW LOOONG...TO SING THIS SONG....HOOOOW LOOONG...TO SING THIS SONG. Miss those days so much.

Too fucking right mate.

That''s awesome, it must have been amazing to be actualy there and hear Bono sing with that incredible voice he had back then.

wow I am jealous! naw lol I saw them in Arizona Tempe show was incredible and magical At This moment im frozen to screen watching U2 Rock IT BONO VOX HUG me please!

@Aaron Hoock How old are you,Young Boy? I'am sure that you are a LIAR........... Because this Concert doesn't exist. God has Invented and develloped this SHOW. Just For You. No One have seen,Or Lived This Performance. All Is Fake. Bono is a Man who doesn't exist. U2 Are Just a Rock'N'Roll Group Legend.......

Think I was but thought it was at Bochum nr Dortmund I can remember it was a cycle arena with a stage at either end on the bill was U2 Bryan Adam's Waterboys Spandau Ballet Talk Talk Nina Hagan (99 red balloons) Was it that one ?

Me to!! Awesome!!
