  • I WAS THERE ON MY FIRST TRIP TO NY!!!! I saw them so close in that flatbed truck!

  • Wany HD quality to see this video!!!

  • U2, should do the same ride but in my city... ok we are only 20 000 so the ride won't be long but anyway :D

  • New York is the Best

  • FOOKING AWESOME!!!!! And it was FREE!!!! You guys ROCK!!!!

  • guy on the drums lmfao

  • Wish they would do a surprise gig in my city!

  • NYC, such energy!

  • Funny to see all those "40-somethings" running after the truck! LOL (Yes-I'm a 40-something!!)

  • @lisamarie656 Hey, I am a 20-something and I would run after U2 to watch them play.

  • They are awesome! Overwhelming!!

    

  • only a band like u2 can pull off a suprise concert like that

  • Headed to NYC for 8 days in less than 24 hrs. with my amazing daughter. First stop: Spiderman the Musical (U2 music!) and then to Philly on 7/14/11 to see them up close. This video TOTALLY has me pumped!

  • @liz51765 How was the musical ? I was at the show on 7-14 , awesome as usual!!!! Did you tour Philly, its a nice town !!!

  • best rock band of the 21st century...

  • I'm sorry I didn't show up for work today, I was drumming for U2

  • What? Yeah!

  • Que loucuraaaa!!!!! podia ser no BRASIL! Sem duvida nenhuma a melhor banda do planeta. i love u2

  • Que loucuraaaa!!!!! podia ser no BRASIL!

  • What a waste of good taxpayers money on police and helicopters for a PR stunt by the biggest twat on the planet.

  • @ProcyonAlpha : Do you think tax money paid this?. I mean .... it is U2 not a fucking 2 bit bar band.

  • @ProcyonAlpha : Do you know how much money this kind of stunt brings to NY?. please man get your head out of your ass.

  • the biggers band on the planet

  • I love these guys !!!!!!!

  • What a band. They could have auctioned off their time for no less than a million bucks. Easy. Instead, what did they do? Drove around the city filming a video, interacting with fans, but only before putting on a free show in Brooklyn of all places. Best band in the world, without questions. The Stones included.

  • @ this is nothing but a ripoff of what the stones did in 1975. Bono get some of your own ideas.

  • @45arther : who cares, we are not living in the 70's... is like saying some fucker in the 30's did it and the Stones ripped off in the 70's, c'mmon...

  • @sebastienpaproki2000 what stones did was famous and everyone knows about it. Bono never stops copying the stones and beatles. lameass. have dome pride for gods sake,

  • @45arther hi, you know maybe, you don't have to watch them, and you don't have to like them. Leave them alone, they are much better people than you are!

    Have a nice day!!

  • @45arther So what if they didn't think of it first, so what??? can you see how much people loved it even though it was a surprise?? a surprise concert, no matter who is playing, is always a great idea and a great gift to fans which is all that really matters in the end, get it???? is their way to say thank you!!! if you don't like them, then why would you even worry about checking this video "just to see what happened????" hahaha you asshole.

  • @45arther

    give me some more about what he copies... Only U2, not any other band. Im sure you wont get far.

  • 4 people got run over by the truck.

  • The lady screaming at 4:05 was hilarious.

  • @rcameronswindsor yes, I know... bahaha it was me...and I chased them 20 blocks...I managed to get in the video as well...best freaking day of my life, hands down.

  • nunca pensei que ia dizer isso:

    Que inveja desse batera sortudo !

  • pour tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de voir et U2 et Manhattan , cette vidéo est top !!!

    la grosse pomme ne dort jamais

  • song 3:05 ?????

  • @Dani88asroma its i will follow

  • Uno, dos, tres, Catorce!

  • @ 2:30- 2:40 is that kari byron from mythbusters and eva mendes?

  • @yam500.u r a total peadophile and so wrong

  • This was awesome ! Bono is terrific :)

  • c'est énoooooooooooooooooooormeeeeee­eeeeeeeee ♥ mon dieuuuuuuuuuuuu

  • thats what i call crazed fans there, having all of new york going after you is insane.

    justin bieber can only get 13 to 16 yr old girls.

  • I've probably been to over 500+ shows in NYC and this is one of the most memorable. Thank goodness my boss let me leave work early that day!

  • They are history

    They are the best

    They are U2

  • U2 forever!!!!!!! i love U2 my best band!!!!!

  • They need to do this again, and let everybody know what real music is.

  • even if you dont like u2 you gotta admit they ARE so fuckin cool

  • @jem3911 so true

  • @jem3911  NOT

  • @yam500 get bent

  • @nwahforever grow up son

  • @yam500 so how does the basement feel after 47 sad years?

  • @nwahforever Grow up son and get some intelligence

  • @yam500 you must have some rope in your basement. Attach it to your neck and off yourself.

    Have a nice day!

  • @nwahforever You have a crush on Bono or what?

  • @jem3911  No they are not

  • muuuuuy pero muuuuy BUENO COMO TODO u2

  • Why?

  • Blues is not white style and still U2 took BB King with them on the road during the Lovetown Tour. The beautiful thing about music is that it is colourless. People can be absolutely different from eachother and disagree on everything and still enjoy the same music.

  • Wow. You must really know a lot of black people. You know us so well...

    BTW, U2 rocks!!

  • Well you aint looking close.

  • go to a 50 cent concert and you will be in one

  • pirei na fita

  • i wanted to be the drummer darn!

  • Amazing... Just Amazing... A Truck going through NYC with a surprise concert it's just a fantastic idea... Wish had been in the City Of Blinding Lights to see this !!! Great

  • nigga please

  • i can´t see any video in this fucking youtube... !!!!!!!

  • When i forger what rock n roll is al about i watch this video.

  • This band is what you call GIGANTIC in every sense of the word.

    Gerry...TheGmcFilms...

  • I envy everyone who was there

  • They're just the coolest band EVER!

  • Hi Thanks for getting back to me soo you think this isnt going to be there last tour??

    Do you know if they will play in toronto again?? I just love them did you see there

    360 tour?? have you seen them on SNL??

    LAST WEEK? Good performance

    viva u2!!!!

  • Maybe they'll be back at Toronto. I'm pretty sure they're going to come back to the USA in 2010. They said this tour is going to be two years, or something like that. 2009-2010.

    I only saw a few songs from SNL, what was in youtube, because I'm not from the USA, but it was great!

  • This won't be their last tour. They're on record as saying they have three more albums either finished or in the works and I can't imagine them not touring those albums or at least one of them. They've got Songs of Ascent which comes out next year, the material they worked on with Rick Rubin and Bono and The Edge want to somehow make the Spiderman musical into a U2 album so...... Plus all tour long Bono's been saying they're only just getting started so.... U2 is far from done I think.

  • wish i was there...

  • Yes wish i was there i love new york!

    You know some people think that u2 suck WHATEVER and thier latest album sunk

    but they sold out ALL of thier 360 dates

    And thousands of people flock to see them play there in new york You wouldnt find ANY other band that can build momentum like them No Other Band

    Radiohead Green Day who suck They have just something so special about them bono is amazing just makes you feel so good have You seen thier 360 tour if not you have to go

  • yes, i have :D:D:D:D

    i was on their concert in Zagreb and it was just magnificent.

    you're right, there's noone like BONO and no band like U2 (=(=(=

  • I was long gone from the big apple at the time, but this was the band that carried me through the world - brought me home to NYC back home to my Irish purpose. I love this band till this day - this band it what inspires me to be more, always more.

  • Comment removed

  • lol, the guy with the guiness 3:35

  • only u2 can pull this stuff off, there just incredible at promoting and amazing performers and i love when bono pulls up ppl to play instruments and just no better place to do it all, in nyc!

  • "Only U2 can pull this stuff off". Are you sure about that??? As always, The Rolling Stones did it first way back in 1975!

  • Yeah so did Kiss on their way to Detroit.

  • U2 the best band ever...SARAJEVO LOVES YOU FOREVER AND NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID FOR US...peace

  • Im sorry for asking.. but what did they do I'm curious thats all.. thank you

  • Played on a flat bed truck whilst driving down the streets of New York to announce their 1975 tour of the U.S.

  • they are unbelievable.....amazing..i love them

  • Edge eating the pizza LOL

  • unbelievable..

    BONO FOR PRESIDENT !

  • increible, que suerte los que estuvieron ese dia por alli

  • would like to see fucking oasis or kings of leon do that.. u2 are unreal

  • This is why I and so many others love U2! They aren't a cold, distant, remote band - instead they strive for complete proximity with their fans. As Bono says, "Never trust a singer who is content with the distance between himself and the audience!" They love their crowd and in return the crowd loves them!

  • Old U2 is much better

  • fuckin best rock n roll band ever..

  • U2 es lo máximo, nunca me voy a cansar de decirlo!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The best band the rock an roll the history (vai te moral assim em otro lugar so U2 msm.)

  • I absolutely loving the New York City vibe...I'd go absolutely nuts if I saw U2!

  • de las mejore bandas del amundo...

  • Eating pizza and jamming New York LOl thats what rock n roll is all about

  • These guys are so cool 8)

  • 1000 veces asombroso u2 e una de mis bandas favoritas........wow

  • i saw them on a rooftop on times square back in 01, but i got to say, this one is about a 1000 times more awesome!

  • damn i wish i were there.

  • I think you'll find that they are the best band due to the fact that The Edge creates a unique sound ... Bono is great and still has a great voice, but then again, so do I and I wear cool shades ;0)

  • I just want to this surprise concerts repeat again, I'll be there this end's year. And remeber, U2 is one step closer to finish the new disc

  • give it up man u2 ripped rocked the souls of ny fookin outlaws ,cops not stoppin nothin, u2 man represent the people rasss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The fuck no! In case you haven't noticed, the main reason why they are the greatest band ever (that's official) is because of bono. I don't get people who are anti bono or U2. I guess they're just jealous. PS-I'm no tsaying that everyone else in the band isn't good, just that Bono's energy has carried them to where they are now.

  • please, does anyone knows the song at 3:05??!!

  • I will follow

  • i will follow

  • OH men .. I would give anything for being right there!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They are nr. 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn, I wish I could've seen that!!!

  • hahahaha

    to the guys who are insulting any one of the band, just remember this:

    You will never EVER accomplish what they did.

    NEVER

    they kick ass.

    You sit at home typing bull shit.

    but don't get me wrong! keep typing bullshit! its all you're good for :)

  • well said lol

  • what an amazing thing to have happened! Bono invites this dude...totally random stranger...up on the truck to play drums with U2! now that is every drumming fans' dream...to play with their favorite act!

  • bono's not gay

  • People who accuse others of being "gay" have the mental capacity of a 9 year old, or are members of the deceased GOP, or both. Grow up.

  • lol if hes a flaming homosexual, then why does he have a wife and children. fuckin retard

  • Fuck you cstove12! Why the hell would you say Bono's gay. He's fucking not and I'm tired of hearing people who think he is. BONO IS STRAIGHT, OKAY! Anyone who doesn't beleive me, go to hell.

  • PPLEASEE He is not gay where did you hear that stupid story?? He has been married for over 27 years!! Lucky bitch!

    Have you seen thier 360 concert??

    I did it was amazing i liked the vertigo tour to lots of energy he was younger then

    viva u2!!!!!!

  • Damn I wish I was in the city that day. I was out in Long Island.

  • bono rocks!

  • The best thing about Ireland - U2.

  • God they're good.

  • i love new york

  • I WAS THERE...

  • i would give both my legs to be there just amazing!!!

  • Amazing!!

  • That song always reminds me of Jesus in the Wilderness.. That part of the bible.. Think about it..

  • Love U2, hated this album
