  • this song could do for so many great memories. great version

  • u2 masterpiece!!!

  • All you people that hate this performance- go away! I personally think that this live performance is better than the original, sure he does miss a few but give him a break! He's getting older and it's harder to control your breathing and vocals so shut up. Bono's only Human.

  • this was the best show i went to last year! when are they releasing the dvd?

  • Como siempre, Vertigofans... parón en canciones que solo los fans suelen apreciar... una pena, porque esta canción es de lo mejorcito que hay... ¿O es que los americanos son mas sosetes?

  • What band do you listen to that is so much better than U2?

  • i think streets should be mandatory for every show...

  • @gilisfloyd Have they ever not played Streets? They've played it at every regular concert that I'm aware of since Joshua Tree's release. I believe the only other song in that category is One since AB's release. Streets is Larry's favorite song (and probably up there with the others) and I have a feeling that he insists on always playing it. Bono has said that it often turns so-so concerts (for them) around.

  • I think he was abit out of time with the others but still the note at 2:06 that he hit is amazing, i've never heard anything so rich and symphonic. Bueatful note Bono.

  • this is the greatest show on planet earth.

  • Que sonido por dios!!!

  • hey stop spamming this site tosser.

  • hey bono if your watching bring the boy's back to the uk in 2010 please.

  • totally agree with you think only gig ther doin so far in 2010 is glastonbury

  • man ,i love this band.happy new-year all u2 fans.

  • Does it seem to anyone else like they kind of struggled from 1:31 to 1:52?

  • sorry but bono is terrible in this one!!!great song but bono ruined!!!!he can sing this one like he didi before!!!

  • please come to Chile in 2010. All Chile awaits U2!!

  • There's a great panoramic shot of this song on Zazzle. It has the red glow and everything

  • I was there and it was unbelievable. The crowd was very terrible though. I was singing my heart out and everyone was so quite. I didn't understand it. Anyways. U2 4 life

  • The whole concert or just this song?

  • i think one of the reasons why the crowd didn't respond is due to the fact that they're playing for a crowd of college students that don't know their music .. if you had jay z or miley cyrus it would be different lol

  • ATHENS 2010

  • people and their phones and cameras *rolls eyes* If you need to take a pic to remember it, then its not worth remembering! How could any one forget the moment they saw The Unforgettable Fire live? When I see a band live, the memory remains...with or without a photo.

  • I was at this concert. These guys gave their best. But the crowd didn't respond. And the stage was insanely awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • All the color's and hope..Blessings...Christopher

  • execelente calidad 1080, como hago para grabar HD de tv 1080?

  • @santos0629  360 T_T

  • Kessel12, it is a beautiful song...and though he changed it a bit...something so wonderful about the way he sings 'Stay in the song'...just awsome!

  • I was at the show. I was so happy they played this song. It's such a great song. I really wish Bono had sang the actual song.

  • too bad they removed many of the songs in the setlist !

  • I just got "The Unforgettable Fire" earlier today. It contains some of the band's most overlooked and underrated work to date. It's almost a redemptive, meditative response to their emotionally overwealming "War" ( which along with "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" I consider to be my favorite of their's yet not their best) with an excellent opener "A Sort of Homecoming" (a little irony).

  • best band ever

  • Put your damn phones away people. Especially when you know it's being PROFESSIONALLY RECORDED.

  • People watch gigs through their phones these days, haven't they heard of dancing or singing??? ZOO TV got it right - "they're coming to a gig and watching television - what more could they want?" ;-)

  • U2 played their best show at Croke Park this year. They always put in the most effort when they are singing at home. When i watched them Bono sang perfectly.

  • The Edge tocando teclados en esta pieza... too much!!!!

  • i never get bored of watching this woooooooooooooooooooooo

  • The best.

  • fuck all u fuckers

    u2 are still the best band in the world live

  • I was at the rose bowl to see this charade in person. Forget the voice. He had absolutely no passion. They would pump up the crowd and then he'd go off on some political view of his. ZOO TV will always be the best, but this was U2 at their worst.

  • @marcmar10 completely agree with you on that one. This was really the only good song of the show. It seems like the band didn't really want to evem do this show. No effort at all. I'll always support them, but this was a letdown. I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning and still didn't watch the whole thing.

  • This is like a really poor version of the POP tour.

    POP was awesome!

  • Eu adoro esta musica....

  • singing for decades may make weaken your voice, but I still think the show and the band are perfect, long hair or not!

  • I agree and think he'll sing as long as he can... getting older means lots of things but Bono Will always be there for us!

  • 060610 Anaheim!

  • Check the version 89, bono voice now is better.

  • cool

  • Hands down this is U2's most underrated song...feels like I'm traveling through space when listening to this.

  • @bnchase112 Totally agree with you there. What a truly beautiful song by the guys.

  • im pretty sure he quit smoking a long time ago

    im not certain but i think he has

  • somebody please tell me were you will find a better concert on you tube?i don't think you will anywhere but i am willing to listen.

  • Another day here and another day lost

    What is the meaning of this humanity?

    If Christ is the reason for all of this then why must we all second guess where he is?

    His timing is correct in his own understanding of time

    but for his creation... we don't understand

    Is this the last take on me?

    So many days, so many moments, is this the one...

  • SUPERB song.. But Bono's voice sounded not very fresh during this concert... A pity really. But can't blame him after such an exhaustive tour

  • I hope he quits smoking!!!

  • I agree. Throughout this whole tour I don't think his voice has been the best, but what can you expect, he's getting old and he's been singing for over 30 years.

  • I agree. And somewhere I'm hoping that it will be better during the second leg of this tour. Personally, I think his voice sounded amazing during the Vertigo tour. And that's only 4 years ago.. Can't have changed that much by now.. :-)

  • That's the thing. I thought that he sounded pretty good during the Vertigo tour as well but when they were on Letterman before No Line was released I immediately noticed a difference. The Unforgettable Fire is a pretty hard song to sing though.

  • I agree. I would say that his voice sounds much more 'flat' .. if you know what I mean.. Hard to explain. And he has to put more effort when hitting the high notes. During the Vertigo tour he really felt like being in his comfort zone while singing.. Except during the ultra high notes.. That's not the case now. But maybe the combination of a lot of practice (360 tour) and a few months of rest will make his voice more energetic again... We will see

  • The next leg will actually be the 3rd one. By the way Bono sounded perfect for most of the 1 and 2nd leg. It seems like his voice got tired right at the end of the US leg so this particular date in Pasadena has Bono's voice not as strong as it could be. He'll be back nice and rested.

  • Maybe it's the hair ,-) Like popmart..

  • HAHAH I'm shure of this!!!

    :SHORT HAIR= Bad voice

    :LONG HAIR= Good voice

    BUT! here in Italy,he've sing very well in this tour...but not in the Vertigo tour !!

  • Mmm when I saw them at Hampden back in August - Bono was top notch. I think that as he and the band age, they should lengthen the period in between shows. Poor guy is ageing now - he needs a rest!

  • I agree.. They should add more rest in between. The travelling alone must be very be very challenging.

  • amazing stage

  • nice, toned down version of one of my fav U2 songs

  • Oh god! Rose Bowl as a place for concert was only cool, when Depeche Mode played there in 1988!

    Even though I like U2, nothing can compare to that concert!

  • amazing sound;)

    great u2

  • Very nice

  • Wow!!! Kind of mindboggling to think that when this song came out good old Bono was exactly half the age he is at this performance. BTW, good show, but I could have lived without that little yelping at 3:05 & 3:15. lol

  • I love this song. I just installed YouTube Downloader 1.8 and converted it to a full-HD .avi clip.

  • I need help: please how can i watch the INTEGRAL live U2 concert from the rose bowl on youtube?? it seems to be impossible :( Is there anybody for sending me the good link? thanks

  • sick concert!

  • please u2 bring the 360 tour back to the uk in 2010.

  • Esto fue increible, haber visto este recital en vivo desde mi casa, fue maravilloso Gracias U2 por tan placentero momento.

  • great video. I love U2 it's the greatest rock band in the world. Greetings from Albania.lol !!!

  • THE BEST! BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU U2!

  • Esse vídeo do U2 é maravilhoso!

    Só poderia ser a melhor banda do mundo!

  • So encouraging to see Bono worship the Creator God in teh midst of so much fame and fortune. Only possible by the Spirit of christ. So encouraging to so many Irish male followers of Christ. So proud to be Irish.

  • I agree with u 100% even thou im hispanic.

  • Can't wait for the Minneapolis show!

  • If you wanted Bono's voice to sound like the record, go buy the record.  I like the variety of his voice at lest he did not do a Britney and lip-sink. U2 are as real as you are going to get. RIP Stephen Gately

  • I can't wait for the Brazil show!

  • U2 is timeless,no doubth 'bout that.The Unforgettable fire is sure one of the most beautiful and "unforgettable" songs of ALL TIME.

  • great version!

  • i like u2. i also like very original little known bands such as this one, star fk radium. they're an instrumental trio with a nice sound actually. search for "Radium Karmara"

  • nice touch by bono to mention stephen gately, who tragically died a few days before this show.2;38

  • Just to clear the Air. I was at this show. I will admit that Bonos Voice wasnt up to par as in other shows. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the show. Rock hasnt had anything this exciting. Let me add by saying this. People saying his singing was rubbish. Let me ask you this: If you performed all of Europe and Most of the states non stop and this was your last show for the 1st leg of the tour, how do you think your voice would sound? Factor in all the weather changes, stressed vocal chords, etc.

  • no doubt!

  • Rest in peace Stephen Gately...you were a proud representative of Ireland.

  • Sometimes Bono voice is not at his best when he sings live. What a pity. I love them! It's with Led Zeppelin my favourite band. This song is pure poetry.

  • great

  • Unforgettable, uncomparable, unbelievable...

  • Legendary song. U2 are timeless. Thanks for post.

  • luv U2! you also might like this little known instrumental band. they have a very unique sound. search for "Radium Karmara"

  • bono is singing too slow in some parts, sounds a little bit out of time.

  • LOL Comparing Green Day and Mettallica to U2 can't be done. Those bands are just noise compaired to U2's Lyrics. Theres no band that can match U2. The proof is the 360 tour! No body can sell tickets as fast as them n back it up on stage as they can. U2 is #1 for Life!

  • i agree with the green day reference - but metallica - hang on...i have every u2 album from boy to no line, i have a lot of imports / b-sides etc...BUT - if you want to hear the impact of lyrics its not only bonos domain, listen to 'one' by metallica...its just one example...different doesnt mean inferior.

  • Just shows how you go for noise rather than texture and substance.Metallica wont get you far through life where as the music of u2 will.Hence the reason for why u2 are the biggest band in the world.

  • as i said above - u2 forms the bulk of my musical taste, but to denegrade other bands like metallica is short sighted...when i want to take on the world i look to james et al...u2 are magic, but imagine if every radio station only played them!

  • you gay

  • ew...you have nasty taste in music! be gone! and good riddance, u2 community does not need a retard like u!

  • Unbelievable tune! Can't wait to see them in Montreal, Summer 2010!

  • Nice show, BUT

    Nobody did the Rose Bowl like Depeche Mode though, they OWN the rose bowl.

  • Yeah - saw them on the Devotional tour - nothing comes close!! Gahan is untouchable.

  • *Sean Bailey*

  • Bravissimi!!! ♫♫♫♪♪

  • TOO MUCH!!

  • such an amazing song and performance by u2 my favorite band.

  • The album as a whole is very much underrated ("The Unforgettable Fire"), and I'm somewhat new to U2 and I know that. My favorite songs off that album are "A Sort of Homecoming", "Bad", "MLK" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)".

  • Best band in the world live. Except when they try to emerge from large lemons. :-)

  • I't somewhat interesting when you mentioned this because Bono recalled declaring the 'Popmart' tour to be their best tour ever. But I think deep down we all know and acknowledge that "ZooTV" is their best achievement brought to stage.

  • I'd definitely agree that Zoo TV was their greatest achievement on stage as well, but Popmart also had a certain exclusive feel to it as well. U2 always intended to have another extravaganza planned, but at the start of this decade decided to go back to the arenas again for the Elevation Tour and work themselves up to the tour we've got at the moment.

  • Bellissimo video,bravi!!

    Edgar

  • Love this song, reminds of going to see Celtic FC when I was a kid. Nice dedication to Stephen Gately, RIP.

  • i miss u. I will never 4get.

  • I love the unforgettable fire it's one of my all time faves. I love you U2 from Treeman

  • brilliant video what a song> U2 at their best

  • luv u2! you might also like this fast rising instrumental band. they are very very original. search for "Radium Karmara"

  • Everyday in the life of U2 must be like an Unforgettable Fire. Amazes me how 1 band can have so much talent and so much good music to give.....music that in turn becomes engraved in our subconcious and burned in our memory cells recalling moments in our lives and when we first ever heard them.

  • johannOplease

    UF, one great album, some of it still remains my favourite material from Bono and the lads. Elvis Presley and Me, (or is it Elvis Presley and America?) great track. A Sort of Homecoming, another great one. Still, it's a commentary that this track (UF) is still being done, gr8 track.

    Look at some of the Joshua Tree material still standing up there. With or Without You done brilliantly when I saw them in Dublin.

  • just got my tickets to see the Gods @ Spartan Stadium, East Lansing June 30, 2010. fuck yesssssssssssssss!

  • MOYA BRENNAN IS MY MUM

  • that would make Enya your aunt

    lucky person if thats true

  • Muito bom....igual vinho...quanto mais velho melhor !!! Obrigado Bono e U2 por fazer parte da minha história !!!

  • The Unforgettable Fire was my very first U2 album. This has always been one of my fav tracks from it. Always considered Pride to be too "commercial"-lol. Unlike Pride, UF performed badly in the singles charts. Be that as it may, I've always supported the underdog. For me, the best U2 songs are the tracks never released as singles, or those that performed badly. The exception is the "Pop" singles. They all failed dismally, and a Bad Day at Black Rock it was for U2.

  • Was All I Want is You released as a single?

  • Yes, with a really great video.

  • Agh, god I'm stupid. I've seen that video countless times! That is one of the greatest songs they ever made. Right up there with Bad.

  • we irish mean to please!

  • Yes, All I Want is You was released in both vinyl and CD single format

  • I miss Twilight, A Day Without Me, In God's Country, When I Look at the World, Peace on Earth. Especially the last two from ATYCLB. Why do they never play those great tunes..

  • U2 360 Tour en guadalajara jal.?? viendo las noticias escuche que Jorge Vergara piensa inaugurar su estadio con un concierto de U2, en verdad podra conseguirlos ?? en lo personal espero que si para poder ir y disfrutar de la mejor banda del mundo U2.

  • This is very good especially considering how old they are.

  • sexy bf

  • I need more Ebow!!

  • Best U2 song ever! So underplayed on radio. Glad they featured it!

  • Comment removed

  • check out the pixies, bono would want you to. hes a fan.

  • Freaking unbelievable.

  • one of my favorite songs. so glad they are singing it again! see you in june in oakland, boys!

  • My Favorite U2 song. Love it.. I felt like i was the only one going crazy at this song when i seen them in Glasgoe

  • dont fuckin watch it if you dont like bono... dickhead .... why watch the fuckin vid if you dont like bono....silly cunt!!!

  • That guitar sound is just stunning, how does he get it?

  • @drmsgtrplayer

    Delay pedal during verses.

    Ebow during those fuzzed passages.

  • Bono still sounds the same, feels like the 80"s all over again when he sings Live on this decade of generation.

  • U2... ese fuego inolvidable...

  • The Universe Band "Respect"

  • I'm anxious to see them in Portugal next year (I have tickets). Maybe my band will be chosed to play with them that night... well, it's just a dream!... A big dream!

  • Edge is amazing!

  • Amazing show! Bono loves a crowd, haha. We were luckily rockin out 2nd row on the rail outside the circle for this majestic night, my POV is in the video responses. Thank you Bono, thank you U2!

  • their concert was just rockin' I will never for get it. the best concert i have ever been to. :) <3

    can't wait to see them again.

  • I cannot stand people who come in simply to spew forth bilge and state how much they hate the band or Bono or whatever.. Here is an idea; stay out.... there is no shortage of vids perhaps you might like????

  • don't really like U2 that much there......

  • "Stay in the Song" am i getting that lyric right? You are so cute Bono-singing as good as first time but I miss the longer hair....take my advice and grow out your hair a bit. face to face in a dry and waterless place, walk on by.

  • your mother sucks big nigger dicks

  • The most Angry U2 album is WAR. The most inspirational could be Unfogettable Fire and The Joshua Tree. Their most innovative is Achtunb Baby. The riskiest was POP. The darkest Zooropa. The soul lifting All that you can't leave behind. The most commercial HTDAAB and Back on Track NLOTH

  • For me, the most personal of U2's albums is October. It's raw, angry, dark, spiritual, confused and desperate yet enlightening. October is also when I first discovered the band.

  • I believe that The Unforgettable Fire wins in inspiration just because of the song Bad. The Joshua Tree was their best work of art ever, that album is just amazing.

  • PEACEOUT1

  • The beautiful song... hoping U2 will be making a new album again

  • Snap, Crackle and POP is what U2's music does to my brain when i listen to it. As cinematic as Bono's lyrics are their music plays on the imagination as well. Keep them songs a rolling boys.

  • luv u2! and especially luv this song.  you just might also like this fast rising instrumental band out of washington dc. they are very very original. search for "Radium Karmara"

  • My favorite U2 albums are The Unforgettable Fire, Actung Baby, and my very favorite is Zooropa.

  • Bono and The Edge are true rocks gods. Frigging magic!!!

  • I'm somewhat new to U2 and currently as of now have three U2 albums: "Boy" "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" and I jsut recently got "War"; and "Boy" and "War" rank amongst two of the greatest albums of all time. I'm as of now planning on getting "The Unforgettable Fire" next.
