  • Personally, this version I always like to think about when hearing this great track, having the people and roaring completes this one.

  • legendary band

  • I luved U@ in high school and all my buddies luved Metalica

  • 1st flash mob?

    Great video.

  • Wasn't a Summit meeting I guess! Stinking pigs! Gooo U2 you guys are the best!

  • Loved that they just did this lol.....soooo great haha even including footage of the cops shutting them down haha

  • Downtown LA when it was ghetto i remember growing up there, times have sure changed, and its so ritzy some of the lofts there.

  • one of the best music videos ever with one of the best songs ever. Priceless.

  • edge just rocks the guitar in this one!!!!!!! great video

  • A completely contrived set of circumstances, but a very well executed video.

    And the song flat out rocks!

  • can u find me in this video???!!!

  • I get the honor of seeing U2 tomorrow night in Moncton, NB!! 100,000 expected to be there...and I am going to be one of them.....priceless!!!

  • I just came across this for the first time in a long time. I forgot how much I like this video and how much I like U2. Where has music like this gone??

  • thats cus the 80's was the best time for music and im so glad i was there for it

  • U2 and the Beatles! Roof top rebellion!

  • (20 + years ago POSSIBLE). Inspired as a 6th grader when I saw this. Where are our rights going? Obama? (Yea, he is killing us [USA] too). This Sucks. Wake up people, America was founded on "men" who had the ability to defend themselves, fight for Constitutional rights, free speech etc, WITHOUT infringement! Than means no permits.

    People, please read the "Federalist Papers." These were the notes & explanations made by our Constitutional framers.

    Understand them

    ! Wake up America !

  • I want to reach out and touch.the flame...where the streets have no name..I want to feel sunlight on my face........u2 you rock!

  • This video is sweet!!!! Freedom of speech...Freedom to gather... I love it!!!! Rock on....The whiterose

  • What a great day to be in LA!

  • OMG, that's filmed atop that greasy grill at 7th and Main, Margarita's Place I think, with the big red TORTAS sign. They are always open and have great tacos if you're aching for them at 4am, like me many times. Same block as the Cecil Hotel too. I remember the event from the news but didn't realize it occurred at one of my haunts. LAPD haven't changed, this is still a police state. U2 thanks for rockin' here for us, plz come back and play again!

  • I remember when I saw this video for the first time on MTV in the 80s.

    Most stunning music video of all times!

  • @flees4free

    I'mma let you finish...but Michael Jackson's Thriller is the best video of ALL TIME!

    Sorry, I couldn't really resist putting it like that. I do love this video though, it's exceptional!

  • i wish i lived in the 80's . xDD

  • there should be more videos done like this!!! xDDDD

  • This was an actual real event. They set up on a random building to see what would happen if they started playing and recorded it all for this. People came in mobs and police kicked them off eventually. Pretty sure U2 got fined aswell.

    Thumbs this up so people can know the story to this vid when they see it.

  • @themadbatter i didnt know that! haha thats awesome though! xDD its the first time i see this vid. xDD thanks for that little fact lol

  • this vid is freaken awsome the best part about it is that it was all real like those were real cops and just random people

  • i hate modern music

  • u2 go on like this goooooooooooooooooooooooooonee­eeeeeeeeeeee

  • Saw them twice...Joshua Tree Tour and Zoo tour....two of the best concerts I have ever seen. Front Row. True Musicians!!

  • I CANT WAIT TO GO TO HEAVEN SOMEDAY!!!!!

    GOD BLESS THESE GUYS!!!! woohooo

    THE STREETS WILL BE PURE GOLD!!!

  • Thank god for the 80´S!!!

  • I love this tune - amazing!

  • Hit #11 rock, #13 pop in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in Ireland, their homeland? God bless!

  • @DaveWollenberg I think it got to #2 in Ireland but it was behind With or Without you! U2 was (and still is) the most famous Irish band! Not only are they the most famous Irish band, they're my favorite band of all time! Back in 1987 when The Joshua Tree came out, U2 had all of the Billboard Top 4 in Irish charts:

    4. Bullet the Blue Sky

    3. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

    2. Where the Streets Have No Name

    1. With or Without You

  • Awesome! I wish I was so there man!

  • living in california when this came out stellar simply stellar

  • U2 are fellow christians!! Great band.

  • love u2 but the beatles did it like 20 years before they did and they 2 got shut down by the police! you can find it hear on you tube! God Bless you tube I love it!!!!

  • rage crashed wall street and acdc on the float were the only other videos that were this awesome

  • always loved this song!!! ♪

  • Yeah! Bono and The Edge fcking rock!!

  • This is legend!!!

  • u2  the best

  • This is the single BEST. Video. EVER. Love the beginning when the cops want to shut it all down.

  • awesome song

  • I'm finally going to see them this summer!! I've only been waiting 20 years to go!!! They BETTER play this song....it's been my fave since I was like 10 years old!! Great road trip song!!

  • THE TOPLESS GUITARIST IS HOT!!!!!!

  • Edge is gorgeous ;-)

  • great band excellent song ..pray for my mom mary who passed away in nov rip

  • Boy they all were so young....

  • this was filmed in the garment district in Los Angeles. Everytime i drive by this building i think of this killer video! god bless the 80's!!

  • Magic video, in the good ole USA great music / video carries a felony of 99 years in prison, Im sure Milli Vanilli / Vanilla Ice are still on the chain gang, the last I heard Vanilla was working in a goldmine goin down on milli and all hell was freezing over, ice ice baby

  • OMG! They were so young! And they're still great after all these years!

  • U2 rocks,

    This video was awesome.

  • They dont make music videos like that any more!

  • @tingsagwaan amen to that music today sucks and if ur not naked or rubbing up a female it want make money miss the 80's

  • @tingsagwaan It´s a bloody shame :-(.

    Today artist don´t know how to make professional videos as they did in the past.

    Rihanna, Lady Gaga, 50cent, Britney Spears....it´s not music. Just somebody killing a cat! :-(

  • @tingsagwaan I guess some people would say who needs music videos with Glee being so popular. It would be nice to see a forgotten art form return. But more of the song tells the story and not a concert, this video is the exception because it captured an event.

  • U2 rock! This video is awesome!

  • that remember the beatles show on a roof

  • good video

  • no offence but i personaley think that the edge looks rather funny

  • @justanotherlespaul lol Edge thinks Edge looks funny.

  • @always97 hey just quoting from their book.

  • they could have not picked a more ghetto area at the time. People are like, "What the fuck?! . . ."

  • dude i wish i ws there!!man what id give to even see them in concert!!

  • Best nostalgia ever!!!!

  • Still... one of my top 10 favorite videos

  • that was a great moment !!!
