U2 Performs "Beautiful Day" | Letterman 

Such an amazing moment when Bono cheers the crowd to stand up.... There were people seating and jumping on their seats! amazing!

U2 is a wonderful band to experience live. The Ed Sullivan theater was a great venue in which to hear them. Thanks for posting this!

I dig the way they mixed this. Adam’s bass is significantly more prominent than it typically is in this song. I like it better like this. Gives it a completely different vibe.

he mentions Joey Ramone cause joey was listening to the song "in a little while" from that album when he died.

Nice nod to the Ramones and the Beatles! Well done, Bono.

U2 fan since 1980. Lots of beautiful days since then!!!

Amazing band. There is nothing left to say. I am happy to be their fan since I remember.

I've never seen them, but I have no doubt its a religious experience for anybody who has.

David proved he know his U2 by saying "Feedback" as he outros them!!! He wasn't just referring to the speakers, he knows that was an earlier band name, bravo!

I appreciate your choices, they are so emotional, I love them all, but especially Edge.

This song always brightens up my day. The best band ever! 🔥

Best performance at the Letterman era Ed Sullivan Theater... EVER!

It is a beautiful day when I hear Bono sing, Great band

I've been a U2 fan since seeing The Tomorrow Show w Tom Snyder in June 1981. The show started at 1am, there were alot of fans in the studio, that made alot of noise. They played, 'I Will Follow' It was eye-opening

I just watched the documentary. Great job ❤ Loved it. I want to visit Ireland 😉 I'm glad I was able to see this amazing band LIVE in concert three times ❤ I have to add that my favorite part of the documentary was everyone singing together at the pub ❤ So cool that other talented musicians and singers were included 👍🏼🎶 I love you Dave ❤

the unsung hero here is the studio audience continuing to clap, IN TIME

No Line on the Horizon... an underrated masterpiece....

It's a strange thing, being in the audience of a taped show like this. We were watching the show, but we were also reminded that we were part of the show. The audience handlers were eager for us to bring a lot of energy, which may be why so many felt compelled to clap throughout the song. I don't recall for sure, but I suspect there may have been some encouragement to stay seated. The second Bono motions for us to get out of our seats near the end of the song, I was right there, as was everyone else around me. It was a unique treat.

Great! Please upload the other U2 performances!

No Line on the Horizon

Y es que uno no se cansa de cucharlos son exitos tras éxitos y vienen recuerdos a mi mente en Bahía de Cata Venezuela de noche conduciendo con este tema viva IRLANDA viva Dublin viva U2 ejemplo de constancia unidad trabajo en equipo y como no admirar está banda y todos sus integrantes son parte de mi familia los amo y respeto son extraordinarios 🇮🇪😘

I was 16-17 years old back in 2000 in Berlin, Germany, when I first saw the music video on TV. Changed my life forever. I am just grateful that I can even write this comment. We've all grown up. God bless yall.

Nice ! One of my favorites. I remember the time U2 was the featured "Saturday Night Concert" on MTV in 1982 ? 1983 ? Great Times all. Thanks Dave

May bands never die!!

Blessed❤ Thank you so much for sharing your art!💓 Love you guys!😘🇨🇮 Love from🇧🇷

U2 make 'Special' look so easy.

it is actually a Beautiful Day at Lk Texoma, finally! little windy, but nice 😉

After listening to Songs of Surrender this ordinary version of BD sounds somehow... aggresive :)

Why did they play Beautiful day when promoting No Line on the horizon? Great song but not from that album

Just to see the ones in the audience that are "my" age going "all in"!!!

U2 🇧🇷

A decent enough song thoroughly ruined by people clapping along horribly on every beat for no reason.

Thinking of using this very click link to explain in an essay sent out before the Ist how I as an Italian feel about the dying of the praetor who was against Clinton and Mario Cuomo. Who abandons the praetorium Blessedly not like Lyndon but more like Nick Sabine. Look it up. A shame you're not on tonight as it would be more like Paar, or at least you knew who he was.

There are bands, and then there is U2. True professionals!

It would be great if the official channel could upload performances of Tell Me Why and Fool 1 that the Mavericks performed on the show in 1999 as an autistic music fan I have really missed the performances since they left RU-vid

Mr. Letterman is so damn fake. Unlike spontaneous, funny, with great sense of humor, very nice to everyone...Graham Norton....Letterman looks like he just wait to finish the work as quickly as possible and go home. Sometimes, I remember, he was so rude to his guest. Seems like he thinks that asking rude questions to guests is cool. The guy is a pure fake. The only thing worth there are his guests. The best one ever was Eminem, who said this right into his face.

Damn that was great…look at the S that’s out there now.

Saw them twice Elevation tour must say one of the best concerts I've been to !

Beautiful performance!! Greats!!❤

The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground There's no room No space to rent in this town You're out of luck And the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck And you're not moving anywhere You thought you'd found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace It's a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away You're on the road But you've got no destination You're in the mud In the maze of her imagination You love this town Even if that doesn't ring true You've been all over And it's been all over you It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day (Oooh, ooh) Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me love I know I'm not a hopeless case See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the Bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colors came out Day, Day Day, Day It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away Beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Reach me I know I'm not a hopeless case What you don't have, you don't need it now What you don't know, you can feel it somehow What you don't have, you don't need it now Don't need it now Was a beautiful day

"Nominated"... come on. U2 still rocks.

Promoting No Line On The Horizon while playing Beautiful Day? About right.

SUPERLATIVIIIIIII

Did U2 pass away? It freaks me out when Dave or Johnny post videos of famous people

Who switch The Edge pedals ????

❤️‍🔥🦋❤️‍🔥

Surprised bono fit his head in such a small venue.

No Line in the Horizon is so bad, they sell it by performing a song from nine years before.

Sometimes if you look carefully you can see their keyboard player hidden away behind them. This time he was either well sequestered or they used a tape.

Hipocrites... 😁

Please retire this song. If you’re going to play an older song there are much much better options for u2. Beautiful day is rubbish
