They are my age (either side of 63) - still one of the best live bands ever. Appreciate the music & the lightshow for what it is. But I'll never forget seeing them Downunder in 1985 - when we were all much younger - it was just the music back then.
My dad was there. Maybe not the show but he did see them at a huge arena in Dallas or somewhere close in 1985 and I’ve heard many stories of it. Lol I love Joshua Tree in high regard b cause of that reason.
Theyre not young men anymore, to have them still give 100% of themselves is something I appreciate. To me they still sound like U2, the greatest band to come out of the 80's!
This was the night we were there. It was amazing to feel like we were outside. Thank you for posting so I can soak it in more. That night was so much to process!
Thank you SO much for recording and sharing this! I’m in Australia but wish I could be there for one of their shows in the Sphere. I am grateful to get to see this!
I was there Friday night. You have to be at the venue to understand and appreciate the magnitude of the performance. I have done a lot of cool shit in my life but this concert is definitely near the top.
Roger Waters spent the first half of a recent concert reading from his laptop about personal pet stories and a duck that came to live in the family home. Then he swore at any audience members who had the audacity to indicate any malcontent.
Killers at the sphere would be incredible! Man just imagine the concert starts with a backdrop of the cliff dwellings silver city and Brandon starts I did my best to notice when the call came down the line!!
Yes! Also the hihat strokes during the intro, and Adam kicking in with the octave drop instead of the "I'll come stumbling along" start he does now. In short, they should have done the ZooTV version!
@@j012cl4nand Larry’s not behind the wheel driving it . Not to diminish the drum sub but good gravy what a difference Larry’s drumming makes in U2. If it wasn’t clearly evident before..
I love U2, and I've been to many concerts from different tours throughout the years, but I think the boys need to rest up now. I don't feel bad saying that, and others shouldn't get offended, as I love this band but I personally feel its time to stop.
The screen looks incredible, but I want music to be the forefront at a concert and not the theatrics. U2 lost their way a long time ago in that regard. This coming from a top fan since the beginning.
Guys ... they're 62/63 for Christ's sake! Give them a break, I can't think of many bands out there who are making new music in their 60s that rivals what they did in their 20s and 30s
Nothing better than a real concert without this technical highlights. Altough the Sphere experience must be great, all I see is people with phones, fomo people. Let’s see Planet Earth with David Attenborough in the Sphere.
I do appreciate the effort, but to say it rivals the stuff in their 20's/30s is pushing it pretty hard, IMO. I also don't like the prices of their concert tickets, which in part is due to the enormous amount of money spent on stages/tech. @@generalcustard1
You have a beautiful simple video and music. How is the music not at the forefront? You say you've been a top fan since the beginning yet fail to recall they've used screens since Zoo TV. Those farthest away from the stage just see ants anyway, why not give them a beautiful visual?
ah yes the random clapping moron standing up right in front of me while i'm enjoying the moment. thank you for reminding me of why i don't go to live shows anymore
Some say dreadful I say it's beautiful in one of beauties purest forms. Nature untouched by man. A place where we haven't depleted the Earth from her resources yet, a place where we haven't killed other species to the point of extinction for nothing more than personal financial gain, the places location purposely explained in it's simplest way with the locations well being being the most important not to change with it's colorless stripes floating in the wind unnoticed by anything that cares not to notice. With the only other clue to where we are is where the seed to this song was planted. Planted in The Joshua Tree ✌️😎
@@newwaver9284 I don't need to crack a book, I actually play the guitar, I admire him for coming up with good licks, and playing with a delay takes skill. Especially in front of 30 thousand people. You mess up you hear it more than once. You have to be perfect.
Bugger I forgot and got carried away by the sphere and without thinking I searched “u2 sphere”… Bono ain’t what he preaches, after-all… this is the band that we couldn’t delete from iTunes. I had to delete iTunes to get rid of them and now I’m worried.. really worries. Have I been tricked into consenting for the algorithm to forever fill my feed with U2 videos thinking I like them 😭 And now I’ve commented… This isn’t good!
J'aimais beaucoup U2 avant mais il faut reconnaître que ça fait 25 ans qu'il chante faux avec une voix éteinte. Ce n'est pas agréable à écouter et je ne comprends pas que si peu de gens le reconnaissent.
J ai pu voir U2 à Paris à la cigale en 83, et c était énorme. Bono avait 23 ans, c est sur que 40 ans après avec la vie de star avec ses excès la voix viellit....
For sure it’s a great experience but to stand even though you have a seat for most of the show and hear others next to you sing dwarfing the sound is not my cup of tea.
Bono's voice has been on a decline since the mammoth Joshua Tree tour, even if I kinda prefer the sexier style he adopted from Achtung Baby forward. But yeah, this performance has to be one of the worst.
A few things - the only song I like from U2 and the visual is just a static shot of the dessert :( - people standing up to clap blocking the screen - People trying to sing along further ruining the performance that was already not so great. - the weird “oh”s and “uh”s in the intro? Granted those last three are normal concert issues but come if I had to pay like ~$1500 overall to see this, I’d be pissed
