U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name Concert Mash-up 

2024 I’m back to U2 on RU-vid, loving Bono and this group’s passion, togetherness, music. You give us something we can treasure all our lives.

This song will be in my head until the last minute of my life... We was young... We hoped a better life and a wonderful world... Where did the time go ? 🥺🥺

Как будто из далекого космоса приземлились и исполнили замечательное шоу и улетели, счастливого полета.

"Where the Streets Have No Name" One Masterpiece of Many !!!

It was 1981. I have two front row tickets to U2 at the LA Forum. I asked every friend I knew to go with me, NOT one wanted to go! Who the HELL is U2? I said, soon to be the best band in the world. I went SOLO.

"Verführung. Begierde" Das größte Unheil der Menschheit. ☯️ 🙏

Una band grandiosa, grazie per tutto quello che avete suonato per tantissimi anni❤

Ireland, thank You so much for U2. My 80-s 90-s and underground 2022 ... in Kyiv... Дякую Вам тричі.

The jewel of The Joshua Tree album...

This is Awesome... What a Band.....

We are blessed with such wonderful people that make music 💯🇳🇱

Seen U2 at Slane castle 2001 what a concert !!!!! Fav Album Joshua tree closely followed by the unforgettable fire !!!!!

U2, Ireland, Heart, Power, Passion. 36 years after, i still love you!

Just beautiful. I didn't know anything about U2 until the Joshua Tree album. I'm 69 and still enjoying them.

Good tribute to what for me is the best song of all times. Great editing and audio quality. Thank you.

I still regret not cutting class to see this new group with this unique sound that pulls at your heart…U2, you still bring tears to my eyes with this song…the first I heard from you. No matter how you sing it, I love it 🥹

Esto esta por encima de la música.... Es una enorme y profunda emoción

The opening notes send chills down my spine EVERY TIME

Okay I'm old, my friend and I were playing frisbee golf when we heard they were playing on the liquor store...so in his VW beetle we are rushing down the 405,,,and heard the show was cancelled on the radio...to the band...thank you...as a life long fan...29 shows and counting...

I listen to this every single day when I get ready for work. I feel the excitement of the group coming out to the stage. Thank you for this!

excellent, I want to reach my 110 years and continue to listen to this beautiful poetry. thank you to everyone who is part of this family that is U2. forever U2.

THE GREATEST BAND TO WALK THE EARTH!!!! NOBODY COMES CLOSE!!! "U2 FOREVER"!!! FOREVER PURE LOVE "BONO..EDGE..ADAM..LARRY"!!! INCREDIBLY THE ULTIMATE BEST TO EXIST!!!❤❤❤❤😎😎😎😎👍🙏💪💪💪💪💪👊👊👊

I always get tesrs in my eyes when I hear this incredible song, it gets my thoughts of my beloved son who has gone to our Lord in Heaven, just 15 years old after a terrible dog-attack in 2018 in Sweden😢. R.I.P Wictor - Gone But Never Forgotten❤️🙏❤️

more than just a song. A journey to another world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

An amazing introduction, it moves every inch of your soul and its just the intro. U2 is in the inmortal words of Tina Turner: SIMPLY THE BEST. One of God’s gifts to humanity.

One of the masterpieces of music no doubt. Uplifting in every sense.

Это не песня, это шедевр!

Ich habe U2 einmal in Köln sehen dürfen. Damals waren Die toten Hosen als Vorband und noch ne Gruppe...die Akustik da war suboptimal. Und dann kam U2. Oh mein Gott....ich bin jetzt fast 50 aber dieses Erlebnis als 19 jähriger werde ich nie vergessen...

That intro crescendo sets up some high energy..U2 force...no time..no place..where the streets have no name

Amazing - Thanks to Ireland, thanks to all places in the World. Thanks to U2 for all their Masterpieces.

U2 - How wonderful are they??? Uplifting, stellar performers, & what a tremendous message they send us!!

U2 semplicemente grandiosi da sempre, questo video è un dato di fatto ❤

By God This Brings Back Beautiful Memories Thanks U2 🇮🇪🍀

This unbelievable Irish Band is like a good old Whiskey... for the ears!

This group is so phenomenal! Each and every one of them, especially Bono, but it’s their togetherness that makes it work!

Again, I can't express how great this is. Out of a possible 5 Stars, I give this, the Milky Way

I listened to this song for the first time in 1991...I was 17 years old back then,alone at home,and I pumped up the volume...when I heard the organ I got goosebumps and I recall I was dancing like crazy on my own..that is exactly when I fell in love with U2

Seeing U2 live was almost a religious experience for me. I cried tears of joy at every concert! I see that many others felt the same way when I watch the crowd shots. I agree with the previous poster. They are the greatest band to ever walk the Earth! No other band can touch my heart like U2!

One of my favorites in concert. The opening sends chills every time. Sometimes when I'm feeling dead inside, this song reminds me I can still feel.

A video editing masterpiece derived from just a small selection of countless masterful performances of this piece by these same musicians throughout the world over decades. Incalculable genius and dedication, and very, very clever "mashing up" here, thank you!! Congrats.

Best intro ever from U2 for 'Where the Streets have no Name!!! ❤🎸🥰

What the kingdom of God will be like! Truly a transcendent song. Shalom

What an incredible live performance performed perfectly and done here by U2.......!!!!!!!!!!

Who would have thought then that in 40 years time this time would be as fresh and powerful as it was then .

That guitar riff, the inicial one. Makes me happy, makes me remember the sound test when U2 was going to play in 2009 at Cardiff Arena in Wales. By 1 PM that sound emerged from that big pot that was that stadium . People went crazy after listening that guitar.

Here we are in 2021... and back to amazing 80's... and the streets have no name around the Globe. Regards from Brazil.

At the beginning of the intro , I close my eyes and pretend to myself I’m meeting my mam & dad at the gates of heaven , I think of this every time I hear this masterpiece…🥲😔

U2 é simplesmente a maior banda do mundo. Não haverá outra igual!

Some melodies take you away to another place, another time...this is one of them! 💞

It is, and always WILL be, my favourite u2 song. It is in general, but played live? Chills. Its absolutely, positively, fucking *_EPIC._* 🤘🏻🔥❤️

U2 fenomeni da sempre e per sempre... Con questo vostro inno mi sciolgo...

The song is actually metaphorical. Bono came up with the title on his Ethiopia trip, but when he wrote the lyrics, he wasn't sure what the song was about. In his 2022 book Surrender, he explained: "On reflection I suppose I want to write about that 'other country,' the country of the imagination. I want to run out of hiding, to tear down the walls that hold me inside myself. I want to touch the flame." Brian Eno, known for his etherial, experimental music and for his time in Roxy Music, produced this track along with Daniel Lanois. Eno got a chance to build one of his signature soundscapes on the intro - Bono's vocals don't come in until. The Edge wrote the music in his home studio with no idea what lyric would get attached to the song. His demo had a keyboard line at the beginning that Eno worked into a slow-building open driven by his synthesizer. The Edge added one of his distinctive guitar parts, a repeated arpeggio with a delay effect. Very thrifty with the notes while generating a rich texture. Bono thought it sounded like an orchestra tuning up, and felt it was a great way to open the The Joshua Tree album. The Joshua Tree became the fastest-selling album in both the US and UK. In the band's 2009 bio, U2 By U2, Bono explained explained why the band chose this as the introductory track: "'Where The Streets Have No Name' was the perfect introduction. It is one of the most extraordinary ideas, only matched by The Doors' 'Break On Through (To The Other Side)' as a throw-down to an audience. Do you want to go there? Because if you do, I'm ready to go there with you, to that other place. Call it what you like, a place of imagination, where there are no limitations." Bono has expressed mixed opinions about the open-ended lyrics: "I can look at it now and recognize that [the song] has one of the most banal couplets in the history of pop music. But it also contains some of the biggest ideas. In a curious way, that seems to work. If you get any way heavy about these things, you don't communicate. But if you're flip or throwaway about it, then you do. That's one of the paradoxes I've come to terms with." "Where the Streets Have No Name" is played in the key of D major at a tempo of 126 beats per minute. The introduction and outro are played in a 3 4 time signature, while the remainder of the song is in a common 4 4 signature. The song opens with an instrumental section, starting with chorale-like sustained synthesiser notes. The guitar fades in after 40 seconds; this part consists of a repeated "chiming" six-note arpeggio. A "dotted eighth" delay effect is used to "play" each note in the arpeggio twice, thus creating a rich sound. The bass and drums enter... The introduction, following a I-IV-I-IV-vi-V-I chord progression, creates a "wall of sound", as described by Mark Butler, against which the vocals emerge after nearly two minutes. The guitar part played for the remainder of the song features The Edge strumming percussive sixteenth notes. The bass and drums continue in regular eighth and sixteenth notes, respectively, while Bono's vocal performance, in contrast, varies greatly in its timbre, ("he sighs; he moans; he grunts; he exhales audibly; he allows his voice to crack") as well as timing by his usage of rubato to slightly offset the notes he sings from the beat. This development reaches a climax during the first chorus at the line "burning down love" (A-G-F♯-D); the melody progresses through a series of scale degrees that lead to the highest note in the song, the A4 at "burning". In later choruses, Bono sings "blown by the wind" with the same melody, stretching the same note even longer. After the third chorus, the song's outro is played, the instrumentation reverting to the same state as it was in the introduction, with a six-note guitar arpeggio played against sustained synthesiser notes. Upon the release of The Joshua Tree, critics praised "Where the Streets Have No Name". Steve Morse of The Boston Globe noted the "bell-like tones from the Edge fram[e] a search for heaven" and along with the subsequent track on the album, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", these songs showed how the group were "pilgrims still on a quest; not preachers who claim to have found answers". The Bergen Record echoed these sentiments, saying the tracks demonstrated how the band was on a personal and spiritual quest. Rolling Stone called it "assertive rock" in their review of The Joshua Tree. The San Diego Union-Tribune said of "Where the Streets Have No Name", "the music charges, like someone fleeing for life". The Washington Post said the track is "a bit oblique lyrically, but the implications are clear in Bono's resolute delivery, Dave (the Edge) Evan's quavering guitar, Adam Clayton's cathedral bass and Larry Mullen's rolling thunder drums". Cash Box said that it's an "achingly beautiful rocker" with "incredible raw emotion and power." NME lauded the song as the opening track by saying the album "starts by spitting furiously". The publication praised Bono's impassioned singing and The Edge's guitar playing, which transformed the instrument into "something more than an endlessly abused piece of wood". The review commented that the "last ten seconds are breathtakingly beautiful". The Rocket wrote that the song builds a "wall of sound" that Bono's vocals cut through with a "wail of desperation, as the lyrics agonize the need for personal spirituality". The reviewer compared the opening riff to Simple Minds' "Ghostdancing". Reviewing The Joshua Tree, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called the song an "epic opener". The service's Steve Huey, in a review of the song, praised its "insistent, propulsive rhythmic drive and anthemic chorus", qualities he singled out for making it a fan favorite. He called the song the "perfect album-opener", crediting the "slow build of its arrangement toward a climactic peak". Huey also called Bono's delivery "passionate and grandiose" and "his commitment to the material unshakable". He believed the combination of his vocals and the band's "sonic power" is what gave U2 its "tremendous force". One of my favourite evergreens of them...

Joshua Tree, one mile down the road headed toward 29 Palms, a canyon on the right had a good cave where I stayed for several weeks in the Fall and Spring, going to and coming from Mexico.

One of the best bands ever...🥰🥰🥰

when the chant starts at 3:09 gives me goose bumps every single time i listen to this grand rendition of this track! it will forever be a classic in my playlist moving through 2021and beyond! rock on people!

I will never forget the first time I heard the intro, my good friend Will Moyer said nothing but put in CD and cranked it up! This mash up almost takes it to the same place---------

OH MY GOD YOUR VIDEO SURELY SENT ME GRAVITATIONAL WAVES ASTHE EARTH IS MOVING UNDER MY FEET THANKS SO MUCH HALLO FROM MEXICO

Some would say they love or loathe U2. It it their music that offends people. Is it their Dublin,American industry ..or is it that in 2023 we are in fear to stand in our own beliefs to have a freedom of speech - without being gagged. Well as a born and raised liverpool toxteth girl, my adult womenhood of today still stands on the solid ground of Togetherness.. regardless of race, colour of skin , religion, or economic level. " His Banner Over Me Is Love" ❤🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🤍. May God Bless Us All

This is SO GOOD! The greatest live song in music history. Your video took me to that place. I've seen the band live 34 times (31x they played Streets) plus the world premiere of Rattle and Hum and this song has NEVER lost it's power! As Bono says, the Spirit walking through the room!

I wrote a comment a year ago, let me share with you, when I was listening this song I was really broke inside of me, we had lost our baby, the screaming of Bono at the beginning of the song become a relish for me, I scream it in my lonelines so many days and months for a row and let me go for the day was coming. Now we are expecting a baby again, we are healed but I'll never forget those moments. Thanks for the remix, stay strong, let you be weak when is the time, learn, fight and improve, you will get there. Love community.

They have made my life so much better than it ever could have been I was 19 . We were babies together. I'll always love them.
