U2 Talks About The Beatles, The Early Years And More | Letterman 

MY LETTER TO U2-1987 I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono! I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage! I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations. Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year! All the Best! Gary Lagstrom

Dave obviously is a huge U2 fan. He's been a part of their career for a while now.

I remember this interview as "the one where Larry speaks". And with charm like that, he should do a lot more of it!

Classy guys. Had a chance to meet them during the Unforgettable Fire tour. So generous.

I discovered U2 by accident lol. It was during the time when RU-vid was new in the internet. I didn't know what was the exact name of RU-vid's website back then. I was surfing the internet, searched "Utube" then I clicked U2's website and the rest was history. Been a U2 fan since then.

I remember that week very clearly. I was lucky to enough to be at Dave’s during that wonderful week. A good friend was working with Dave. These mate’s are the real thing. Loved when they were shoveling. Lol 😆

Thanks for hosting them Dave then & now.

Bono is unintentionally hilarious in this interview

I remember watching this in my campus house at college. I was so excited and was glued to the TV every night that week.

U2 saved rock music in the 80s.

Despite liking their music, I've never watched a U2 interview before, no better place to start then with Letterman right?

What a bunch of nice guys. and to mention great musicians to.

Berlin - Brandenburg Gates - Actung Baby I remember that. Great music and city nice too, bohemian feel, different vibe to other german cities.... and it nice to see Larry speak more, witty humorous speaker too.

I am looking forward to the newest collaboration with David and U2

I heard the U2 song "Beautiful Day" on the radio today!

Larry Mullen Jr. looks like a mix of young David Bowie and John Paul Jones.

Achtung Baby, was a fantastic album!

It's the actor Eve Hewson's dad.

I really wish they didn't delete the video of Bill Murray doing the dumpster dive. Please please please bring it back!!!

AWESOME

Awesomeness!! 😎✊👊🍁♈🍁

The Disney+ special is really fantastic!

Free speech: I’ve listened to u2 since 1983 but damn are they articulate on a talk show! U2 are fantastic talkers: I don’t know why they were never talk show hosts at some point or idol hosts etc

You made the 40ft man look easy

Love U2... grew up with em, some of my earliest memories of getting into music, huge influence... but their latest output hasn't been very memorable to me personally, and this Songs of Surrender re-recorded versions, a lot of them don't appeal to me

Man, I miss Dave.

At first?😂

"At first"

This is from 2009

At first🤔🤨

To think there was a time when I thought this band was the best. Time reveals all.

Why Does Adam sound so English?

U2 is the best sleep aid available without a prescription

What goes around comes around , U2 are bad again . 1981 - 1991 is all that matters for these guys

The only thing is this is one of the most boring bands in history. Every thing they do sounds the same. The only explanation of there success is the gullibility of the record buying public who sometimes fail to see what’s talent and what’s bs. Give me rock and roll anytime 😢

Not a fan of u2. Just not good.
