  • Замечательно!

    Человек чувствует,и Думает о чём он поёт!!!

  • best version of this song

  • This DVD is still the best of their post-2000 tours, maybe because the sound was mixed by Steve Lillywhite.

  • Saw U2 in Moncton, New Brunswick on July 30, 2011. (Last date on their 360 tour) When the opening guitar riffs of this song started, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Just an overwhelming experience and everyone who loves this band should try to attend at least one U2 concert in their lifetime. BTW, outdoor venues can't be beat when the weather cooperates.

  • amazing song!! wow!!

  • 2:40 to 3:00 best bit, love it!!

  • simply amazing.

  • The Edge is a GOD!!!!

  • Do Bono have hidden camera on his glasses? There are some clips that looks like his point of view.

  • @MissMael Yes he does! The Boston DVD included a couple of moments seen from Bono's point of view! :)

  • the best band ever!

  • I'm guessing I'll hear this song tonight, May 21, at Invesco @ Mile High!

  • amazing ..... sur real cojonudo!!!!!!!!

  • I thought that this song represents the whole of Judas' betrayal of Christ - sung from his perspective!

  • great song

  • Hi all,awesome band,awesome song enough said,btw U2 fan for 41 years and counting

  • bono is a fucking ledgend....

  • LOL Bono kisses my friend Gill's hand at 1:44.

  • U2!!!!................. I love you my dear Jesus

  • thumbs up from the most awesome part 1:35 where the guitar solo starts soon!

  • The most unassuming Christian band on Earth spreading the word within subliminal Rock and Roll.

  • #1 group of the CENTURY.. and centuries to come.. they are energy extreme from their lyrics and sound to performance. Most importantly they have supported so many great causes. I can't imagine a world without their music!

  • PURE ROCK N' ROLL

  • unfuckin real can't wait til stl in july!

  • Edge is bestial when playing this song. I just can't get enough!!!

  • Fell in love with U2 in 1983 with the song "New Year's Day".They just keep getting better with time.Truely one of the Worlds supergroups.Edge's guitar sound is the backbone of what makes U2 great.Thanks for the upload.This video has good sound quality.

  • @LadyOlivia35 The garden referred to is the olive garden that Jesus was praying in when Judas comes and kisses him, identifying him to the Roman soldiers who took him away

  • 4:39 ..and love overcomes evil..

  • I reached out for the one I tried to distroy

    BUT You, you said you wait

    until the end of the world!! best lyrics!

  • Ass is absolutely kicked in this video. People talk about Jay-Z...Gaga...Kanye...whateve­r. THEY CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE!!! It isn't about being cool; It isn't about some lame video. it's about hitting a nerve. Leaving a mark. U2 does that. Especially this song. They bring out the best in people. And that's why they are THE BEST.

  • this was an average concert, but the performances of this and the fly on the night were worth the ticket price alone.

  • What's Bono saying before the lyrics kick in?

  • @custardflan

    Jesus...Jesus...this is Judas.

  • wooow !!!!!!

  • I liked the song, but your video producer SUCKS

  • I LOVE U2 WHEN I WAS BORN! THEY ARE FANTASTIC! and i went to the 360 tour and it was brilliant

  • These guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Outstanding!

  • I was 11 when I began to get into U2 I got to see then live for the first time when I was 13 now I'm 35 and still am a big time fan

  • This song is unreal it's so good. i loved it, then found out about how the last verse is Judas' suicide, and it took on a whole new level of greatness! Achtung Baby shows U2 at a peak that no band has ever reached the heights of before, and never will again.

    Just my opinion! I'm sure many of you beg to differ

  • @AchtungBaby1874

    I agree with you 1000% percent Achtung. Achtung Baby and ZooTV are masterpieces that IMO will never be duplicated

  • @AchtungBaby1874 I don't get how the Garden of Eden lyric has anything to do with Judas. That's more about Adam and Eve. Besides, I think people are WAY too hard on Judas. Think about it---he was possessed, felt such remorse that he killed himself---what more do you want from him? God should FORGIVE him and move on.

  • U2 wrote "Miami"

  • I started liking u2 like when i was 13 too :) now im 15 and i like them even more since i saw them i gothenburg im going to see them in helsinki next year too :)

  • U2 is my favorite band! but no one likes

    U2 my age....... im 13 and i didnt get to go to their concert because my dad couldnt afford it :(

  • Don't worry, plenty of dudes likes it. I listen to U2 since I was 11 and I'm 16 now.

  • thats because they'r all pillocks who dont understand real bands and music!

  • bono is my favorite singer!

  • Bono is hot evan tho hes 50!

  • Outstanding! One of my favorites

  • Ending is the best! Go Edge and Bono!

  • Soren Kierkegaard would have tipped his hat to this performance. He would then say: "my boys, your effort to try and get the individual to wake up, feel his existence, and take the leap of faith in fear and trembling is as much as any one can do and nothing more" - that btw to all u2 fans is a huge compliment

  • be quiet - you KNOW what he'd have said? I think you talk alot of shit sorry :)

  • perhaps, but then, perhaps I think if you'd read the genius of Copenhagen you might "either" be better suited to develop your wit "or" give my comment a very proper thumbs up, - always a most important sign of my very important worldly significance.  however, since that too is only a thought possibility; perhaps I should be quiet here as well? After all, I would hate to think my methane releasing mouth is contributing to the pseudo climate crisis. :)

  • develop my wit? tell me, are you over twelve years of age? and yes, you said it yourself, your mouth releases methane - what an idiot! why not develop your wit, young freind? :)

  • slane castle is the best performance of this

  • Actually guys, this song was written for the Wim Wenders Film "Until the End of the World" in 1991 that stared Solveig Dommartin and William Hurt. The lyrics actually follow events in the film.

  • If you watch the DVD notes, the director says Bono told him it was about Judas. You still may be right., however. Bono's lyrics work on different levels and come from different sources.

  • @TheGreatMerman no... it isn't

  • What is Bono saying at the beginning?

  • anything just amazing

    the best band of all time

  • Many believe Judas was greedy (the treasurer of the Apostles) and thought he could FORCE Christ to prove himself. He thought by being an Apostle it would bring some form of POWER! He (Finance Man) was sick of being poor. He thought he could FORCE Christ to be the "New King". Christ would have to use his powers to fight for his life. Judas had watched this man multiply bread and fish, calm storms, and raise the dead. Judas thought Christ wouldn't go without a fight. He wanted a position of power

  • It is about the relationship between Christ and Judas, seen through the eye's of Judas. Bono has started the song many time's yelling "Judas come OUT!" (Christ was commanding an evil spirit out! "Haven't seen you in quite a while." Many Christian's believe Judas cannot see Jesus until the "The End of the World". "I was in the GARDEN (Gethsemane) playing the tart." Judas was acting like he loved Jesus. "I kissed your lips and broke your heart" This was not a sexual kiss. It's a form of greeting.

  • oh, heck no. it is sacrilege to even think such a thing. ;-) it may sound like a dubbed track, but it is all very much mr evans.

  • Best song of Achtung Baby,powerful version this but Slane Castle`s version is the best

  • Comment removed

  • This song is pure sex

  • are you kidding?.......you know what this song is about???......please pay attention to the lyrics......it's about Jesus.......last supper!!!!!!!

  • just cuz the song is about jesus can't mean it's not "pure sex"

    "Pure sex "is kinda an adjective in the way that it describes the mood of the sound.

    As a musician and songwriter I see music in terms of moods and atmospheres, much like the edge with his soundscapes. I'm sure It's way different with vocalists/poets or just people that pay more attention to lyrics over melody.

    None the less the lyrics are great, and I always like the metaphors U2 portray.

  • it´s not about last supper!!! you pay attention!!!

    it´s about anyone in that position...

    it´s about HIMSELF. and his amibiguity...

    he must have find himself ( as we have) one time partying...and other times talkin about the end of things...that´s what the song is about...

  • Bono himself has said it's about Judas.

  • The song talks about Jesus, last supper, as the story says that a Bono for parents Iris Rankin Hewson was a Protestant, from there his influence for peace and Christian. Other songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday also have Christian influences

  • ULTRAAAAAAAAA!!!

  • This rocks, i love when Bono and Edge are having a go at each other, it must be great to be there live

  • never tire of any live performance of this song...u2 at thier fukn very best.

  • these commnts are SO much fun 2 read.

    LOL wat am I doing naked ONline at this time?>?? i have no idea! i5

  • This

    Fucking

    Rocks

  • that stage is shaped like a big vagina..

  • You are a big vagina. It's shaped like a heart.

  • hahahahaha.......it's a heart shaped stage man!!!!

  • dont bring jesus into it....he himself knows this tune rocks.

  • dear Jesus

  • I do not like anything post ATYCLB, but this is a great, great song. It's one of the few songs that are actually better live than the album version.

  • f#cking brilliant.

  • yeah!, thats why bono is helpping childs and people in Africa meanwhile you are touchin' yourself. Go and make something usefull before talk please!!

  • You shouldn't think that other people are like you. ;-)

    I was just making fun with my comment but yours.. is hilarious. Moron.

  • your comment it's so funny :| PLEASE!!!

  • u kno how pathetic that makes U sound? how ignorant u show urself? do u kno how low U r? dirt frowns apon u and spits down on u. thats how low

  • my favorite u2 song from my favorite u2 record. i hope they come to san diego soon, which is as close to rosarito B.C. as they'll ever get.

    if they play this one i will DIE

  • "Jesus and His Judas"

  • does anybody know wat effect the edge uses in this song? cos im tryin to do an college assignment on it lol

    thanks

    oh great song by the way lol

  • He uses a Boss OD-2 with the turbo on, delay coming from either the Korg SDD-3000 or the TC 2290, and probably some auto wah (or it is a real wah which is controlled by his guitar technician), and for the end part he uses a Sobbat DB-1 Distortion

  • at this tour, and at this song, Edge is begining to use the Boss PW-2, Power Driver, only for this song, as an overdrive. OD-2 was used in Zoo TV and Popmart Tour. Sobbat is used like a booster, on the solo part.

    The song havn't auto wah.

  • I am absolutely sure that the Boss OD-2 was used on this song for the Elevation Tour. He used the Boss PW-2 on the vertigo tour though. The OD-2 was only used for this song on the elevation tour.

    The Sobbat he only uses on the outro. If you compare the solo with the outro you can hear a enourmous difference. He never use it as a booster lol. He probably used his Boss FA-1 boost on the solo. And about the wah.. listen to the intro. Sounds kinda like a wah.

    I think I know more than you do lol.

  • do some research dude! :P

  • i think that this is their best song to play live

  • why?

  • mark1585:

    ummmm... king saul and JESUS CRIST lived on earth in different centuries. this is a conversation between JESUS and judas. ergo the peck on the cheek of the edge.

  • King saul the Opostal Paul same guy read the bible lol! Paul Washer did a sermon on it too!! Look up Paul Washers testimony on

    You Tube!! He is very real!

  • Damn...one of the things that takes me out of depression...i've seen it live...

  • the best rock n roll band on this plannet, think i spelled wrong... from Dublin

  • achtung baby the best!!!

  • Does anyone know how to play that wicked slidey-thing intro? Before the main riff starts...

  • easily my favorite song of thiers...this takes me back every time

  • Haha, poor edge, he has to play a guitar solo and fight Bono at the same time. He does pull it off nicely though.

  • mfr21:

    yes, and he has the job to be just so good looking too. i don't know, this play between them, brings out something sexy about the way the edge moves.

  • One of their best live songs, all tours since the song came out in 1992. Check out the fly on this show , great version too!!

  • Then why are you watching?

  • he's turned on by it

  • a lot of ppl find bono attractive... no need to fight the feeling kiddo... someday you might have the balls to come out of the closet... or should i say lack of LOLLLZ

  • Ooops, meant of course 'speed'...

  • Great song to get rid of rage and anger. Skate at full spade in the park and turn up the volume really high and Go!...

  • Good for working out too. Makes you move faster no matter what you're doing. ;)

  • awesome! i love u2....... i like this song and specially where "evil" (bono) and "good" (edge) are fighting at the end. regards all u2 fans and youtube uploaders from MX.

  • If Bono is supposed to be Satan, that'd make Edge Jesus (which isn't too far off, haha!)

    =P

  • suggestion: grab some vitamines for your brain, you really need it man.....lol......lol......lol.­.....looks familiar?.......lol.......lol

  • que?

  • its from their 2001 Live in Boston DVD

  • what's this from??

  • U2 are by far the best live band of all-time. No question about that.

  • the guitar in this song is too nice!sounds great and the edge is excellent!specially in his solo! Best rock group of all time!

  • probably their best live song

  • outstanding performance. one of the best u2 performances I've ever seen.

  • love song? how could anyone not know this is about Judas betraying Jesus

  • one of the best version of UTEOTW... I love Bono and the edge "playing" bullfight

  • it's not a bullfight.....he's playing satan

  • well I always heard calling it bullfight but maybe I was wrongh thank you...

  • you're welcome.  Patti Smith.....is that you?...looks like you are a professional singer...... interesting....are you italian?....or it's just the website?....take care

  • I'm an italian fan of Patti Smith the american poet and rock singer... the first record bought by Bono was Horses by Patti Smith, and dancing barefoot was one of her famous songs. :)

  • esta y the fly son mis canciones favoritas, u2, estas chingon

  • Best U2 love song! Saw them in 97, Alvalade, Lisboa, Portugal. The Edge rocks!!! :)

  • This is not a love song. It's the Juda's story... Great U2

  • If you say that Judas and Jesus does not have a love story, then, you're right...

  • It's true, I can't see the love`s story... Very good ornatosvioleta... Until the next...

  • This looks like Vertigo, not Elevation... but WHO CARES!! Love this song.

  • You're so wrong. This looks absolutely nothing like the Vertigo tour. Why? because it's the Elevation tour.

  • This is U2............great,, grandes,amazing band,,love from Canada... desde Canada amor para U2 se habln 4 idiomas en Canada,,,,Ingles, Frances, castellano y pura mierda

  • could you watch your mouth zenpurple?. thanks

  • get lost idiot

  • por que no te dejas de molestar mejor?

  • sin palabras que chingona rola

  • Wow!!!what a fantastic perfomance!!!

    I love U2!;)

  • The Edge. it is a monster. The best!!!

    uhuhuhuúúú´!

  • great song bono is the master

  • John Elway plays a mean guitar.

  • Faith or religion? Fuck it. Bono's kicking a Gibson Les Paul over there...

  • Amazing song , and fuck religion. Religion is the cause of bono rants in the 80's if you havent forgoten.

  • There is a difference between religion and faith. Keep that in mind.

  • I love Bono. I love The Edge. I love Adam Clayton. I love Larry. I love U2. I need U2. It is the band.

  • theme song for the film 'Until the end of the world'

    by Wim Wenders

  • Bono is not bringing his christianity to rock, he is the second coming of Jesus. His music is the embodiment of his soul

  • The Edge like, what a legend. U2 are unatural but like The Edge is just something else like.

  • From Spain: !!!Sois la ostia!!!

  • U2 is the band ever. We are waiting for the U2 concert here in dubai, : )

  • U2 are the one of the greatest bands ever and certainly by far the greatest band ever LIVE!

  • UAU! ADOROOOOO!!! :D

  • Jammin!

  • incredible!!!

  • Q groso! U2 es increible! lo mas grande!

  • Great song..great riff...great atmosphere...life emotions and great collective celebration...til the end of our lives..til the end of the world.

  • awesome guitar work by The Edge

  • No one today in Art grasps better then Existential conflict between a person's "self" like U2 does at the end of this song - WOW

  • dude they are christians telling one of the worlds most significant gospel storeys to the world... end quote no need to respond

  • Although there is no need to respond; perhaps, just perhaps; the betrayer's issues lie at the heart of all "self" battles. To betray or not to betray. Thus the Existential Conflict.

  • 'touche' true point and well made forgive me...
