U2 Glastonbury 2011 - Even Better Than The Real Thing + The Fly

[Macconator2010]

Bono makes a mistake at 7:41 if anyone notices. It's not huge but it is corrected in time. But then again he's not the lead guitarist so the mistake is excusable.

[dillpickle5390218]

lol they messed up at the beginning but it doesn't matter because their awesomeness took over!

[90alexcatalan]

why do people always compare that coldplay with u2 . at least compare one of if not the greatest band in history certainly live with a decent band . u brits shud remember u actually have one kasabian!

[laboloche]

U2 RULES.

[ally67]

Must be Chris Martin who pressed the dislike button!

[laboloche]

@ally67 haha right.Martin was crying during the u2's showtime!

[thomaspessato]

Really god, but in the beginning Edge and Larry just lost themselves

[TheKenoflaherty]

@thomaspessato

Thought this was just me Thomas. I think Larry started out right and Edge came in off time which threw the whole thing off.

[thomaspessato]

@TheKenoflaherty That's right, i just got the tempo that Larry does... and its right, Edge was late... too bad it happened in Glastonbury... the proof that even one of the best bands in the world can't be "even better than the real thing"

[bonofoundgrace]

@TheKenoflaherty Yes,I noticed it too. Larry is always in time ;)! But isn't it harder for the Edge to play in time because of all the technical stuff (delay, echoe)? Still, great start of a concert. I was really surprised they started to play this song during their 360 tour in South America. I was so jealous they hadn't played it in Europe. Couldn't get enough of listening to it. It is fun to re-discover the old gems.

[C130wannabepilot]

jo whiley ruined the start.. but apart from that. AMAZING! :D :D :D :D 

[bonosbaberocks]

loved you since Under a Blood Red Sky you just keep getting better and better :) Bono <3 my hero love and peace to you and yours x

[laboloche]

The Fukin Best Band Ever.

[rufus102]

awesome version of EBTTRT!!!

once again, U2 'cover' one of their own songs and make another classic (ever see The Fly from Elevation tour as another example)

[2y2dorg]

MUSIC IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL.

20 YEARS AGO, U2 RECORDED IN BERLIN A RECORD CALLED 'ZOOROPA'.

BONO IS A MESSANGER BUT HE IS CONTROLLED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THEIRFORE ALWAYS TRIES TO REACH MANKIND WITH HIDDEN MESSAGES WITHIN THEIR SONGS. LAST TRY TO REACH THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR MESSAGE WAS THIS YEAR IN GLASTONBURY...

[cahillgreg]

@2y2dorg Shush now.

[2y2dorg]

@cahillgreg ;)

[pinkasu2]

God bless u!

[MrRaisch]

So, so much energy, this is the best band in the world and the edge is a guitar playing god! Coldplay is a nice band but this is so much better !! U2 are so epic anfd this for so,so many years !

[thomaspessato]

@MrRaisch I agree with you... U2 is an influence to Coldplay... they said that, by the way

[90alexcatalan]

[thedge86]

in "the fly" there was an error of the edge in the outro.

[7franny7]

@thedge86 when???

[Isleofskye]

@thedge86

Its a shame we can't write to a Musical Ombudsman to complain.

[An0n3mu55]

@PrisonBreakFilms Yeah, he does that for about half their songs, especially earlier on in their history.

[betocervan]

U2 U2 Sempre U2 Som que vale a pena Beto Cervan Santos SP Brasil

[HelterSkelterSOR]

[breachmania]

Best performance in years... no doubts!!

[12sabado2]

Não há hipóteses, os U2 não brincam em serviço, por isso o Adam pôs o fato macaco. Magnifica perfomance, afinadinhos como o motor dum Rolls Royce. Obrigado.

[tainhas71]

This opening is reel amazing!!!! U2 rules!!

[MegaTrainspotter]

u2 have now been put into the 'love them or hate them file which is fine? I would be willing to bet if you listened to their previous,everybody on this planet would like at least ONE of their tunes.....ACTUNG

[boppingelf]

[josemiguelnovo]

Watch Bono playing guitar is so funny! haha

Fucking number one!

[steelundergrounder]

@josemiguelnovo what exactly does bonos guitar do on this track?

[josemiguelnovo]

@steelundergrounder I think that he did nothing

[thedaveevens]

@steelundergrounder Hahahha, nearly nothing. But at least its plugged in, you can hear it start at 4:22 ... sort of. haha

[steelundergrounder]

@thedaveevens what is he doing at the start, just hitting the same chord with stocatto lol. he has a small solo too at 7:07 - 7:19 ;) lol

[bete22izzy]
