  • thissong was dedicated to An Sung Suu Kyi.. so beautiful

  • 10 years old... holy moly.. I remember this just like yesterday!

  • i love when he walks down the stairs with the guitar on his back

  • Una de las mejores canciones de u2.... increíble desde el principio al fin, todos son necesarios para que esta banda sea lo que es, desde edge con la guitarra .... bateria de larry y bajo y escribiendo canciones Adam y claro el genio de Bono

  • Highness, dignity, optimism. Thats what I learn from U2!

  • Incredible!

    Rolling Stone may say '22 in the World'... I say that they blow everyone out of the water!

  • @xxluvemzyxx absolutely true! dont understand rolling stone´s position....maybe trying to put up the old legends first like berry, dylan, richards, brown and satisfy old readers

  • @xxluvemzyxx yes!!!

  • Celine realizes her career has been utterly pointless after witnessing that... the expression on her face along with the other smug buffoon she is with is priceless. Like, "who let those guys perform...now we're really screwed!"......

  • And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's DONE.

  • This is one of the best U2 songs...i have goosebumps listening to it.. 4:20 what a lift...

  • The Best Band in the WORLD !!!!!!!

  • Sensacional

    

  • superbe!

    Edge is the boss!

  • Edge is the engine that drives U2. Without him Bono would just be another big mouth pop star. see POP if you don't believe me, edge to an album off and played around with keys and it sucked. Edge is the reason U2 sounds like U2. Heart and Soul this band has a lot of both.

  • @TheFly212 Stop it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheFly212 What in the name of sweet fuck are you talking about? All of the band members are what makes U2 as being U2. They've been together since the very beginning. You can't replace any of them, or else it would go down the shitter. I've been a U2 fan for years... and even I know this.

    Losing a band member would be like losing a limb.

  • No one has the satge presense like U2 has! They dont even have to try, they are amazing anyway!

  • Best Part starts at : 3:43

  • @Damase19 I can dig it!

  • Easily one of the best songs ever written! U2 are Gods!

  • Edge is amazing....Playing guitar, singing, making sure bono doesn't mess up his playing, and keeping tempo all at the same time, and he still has room to look awesome doing it! Hes my idol

  • Mmli

  • Bono has the most amazing vocal part at the start!! blowin away

  • @lewecca actually that's not all Bono's voice. If you notice the latter part of that vocal intro you can hear the "sustain" being managed by the sound engineering. Bono is really awesome! I know that to be true because I'm a huge fan. But that intro is not all him. - Peace, and Love U2 --- Until the end of the world!

  • @EWLGtoday its just delay on the voice. nothing else.

  • @raoninery same difference, no?

  • @EWLGtoday It's just an echo effect. Nothing more. Same as since 1980.

  • @skrason It'snot an echo...it's coming from the back up singers sitting in the front row. Someone already answered this. And it makes perfect sense and the video proves it. Enjoy!

    `` Topic closed `` :)

  • @EWLGtoday I hear the backup singers too. But there is echo and reverb on his voice. There almost always is, especially when they play smaller venues. I'm not deriding Bono's vocal prowess, he's still the man, but I have a degree in sound engineering and I clearly hear effects on his voice during this performance.

  • Beautiful song!!

  • who caaaaan dislike this !!!!

  • Stupid american voice over at the start was not needed or liked.

  • Hard to believe it has been that long ago- I was a still 'emotionally developing' male at that time- aged 25- working in Ca, San Diego-buddies came out to visit me from Chicago- we went to Vegas for this concert- all of us came a great deal closer together- leaving that Arena balling our eyes out- despite our best efforts to control it--did it again just now...what a perfect song by chance, for that moment....happy it was from a bad that had the moral fiber to back it up and make it earnest.

  • @neocant1

    I'm a musician. Crying comes natural to a person who is not afraid to let music and felling in. Very cool post.

  • Wow.

  • CANNOT LISTEN WITHOUT CRYING

  • just pressed the "liked it" button for the 100th time :)

  • The best performance in Grammys history? Yeah I'd say so.

  • Celine Dion in the end is like: Oh fuck, they're cooler than me" :P

  • 11 people like lady gaga

  • @DejaVu77777 Well, guess its better than Justin Bieber?

  • @DejaVu77777 actually, they like Friday

  • Never heard this one before! Awesome. Gospel choir gives me chills...

  • No matter how down one is, this one is a healer.

  • @ManessKen yes it is! same with beautiful day. only u2 has the power to heal you no matter how bad you feel!

  • theres a BIG mic in front of the edge for fucks sake

  • Surely the best performance of walk on

  • Awesomeness

  • What an emotional song. U2 changed my life and I will always have a place in my heart for them.

  • bono <3

  • @TomAraya23 Compared to who?

  • Who is singing the "oooOOO, ooooOOO, OOOOOOOOO" beginning around 5:20. It's not Bono as he's singing "for my heart and soul..." Edge is not wearing a mic neither is Larry. Perhaps it was recorded and added in during the live sound engineering?

  • @EWLGtoday

    I think it's the Edge :P

  • @prutsikas I thought so too but he is not wearing a mic like he sometimes does.

  • @EWLGtoday It's one of the backup singers.

  • @XendoZA Ehhhh, U2 does not have backup singers.

  • @EWLGtoday No they don't, but when U2 were playing here they did. Just as a special occasion. Just like in the Walk On taped in London. This one -> watch?v=nBwrX1MingU

  • @XendoZA You were correct, they had a row of backup singers in the front per @jakovasaur

  • @EWLGtoday My best guess is that it was pre-recorded and it played through! Either way, this is the best version, ever, of Walk On!!!

  • @EWLGtoday That noise is the sound of Celine Dion farting during the performance...

  • @EWLGtoday Look at the front row of the audience and you will see a group of gospel singers holding mics during the hallelujah part at 4:43. I recorded this when it first aired and you can see it a lot better on TV. I guess she was trying to outdo Bono!

  • @jakovasaur Wow!!! You are so right...what a catch. Damn you saw that!!! That's one of my favourite parts of the entire video when Bono comes down the steps and they are singing Hallelujah (Praise God/the Almighty).

    You made my day!

    I do wish they had them come up on stage with the band, but that's now all in the past.

    Just beautiful!!

  • U2 is what some, including me, would call "The Shit"

  • @bettshouse

    and others, including me, would call them the greatest band in the world ;)

  • Such an amazing band live

  • Edge seems to be getting into this song more than he usually gets into songs.

  • I like the studio version of this too but have to tell best version of Walk On out there. Simply amazing, so powerful.

  • WHAT THE FUCK THE ANNOUNCER SHITTED ON THE BEST PART OF THE INTRO

  • @tonybeir i am so glad you posted this comment cuz if u didnt i was going to!!!!!!! A MESSAGE OF LOVE FOR ANG SANG SU TCHI!!!!!!!

  • This song is the quintessential U2 !

  • Goddamned right everyone is on their feet. Because that's how it's done. THAT. IS. HOW. IT. IS DONE.

  • one of the only bands that plays their music better live, u2 is one of the best bands of all time

  • the edge OMG

  • the magic of u2, surely no band has ever generated a blood tingling feeling of well being as u2, there songs give you a great feeling of elation, what more could you want from music!

  • @sunkistdk Punctuation. Learn it you punk ass piece of shit.

  • @sunkistdk i had to sacrifice a couple of million of my brain cells trying to read that verbal vomit of yours

  • Absolutely awesome

    They are the Greatest Band ever!!!!

    Because everything fits perfectly!!!!!

  • a band that has to be believed to be seen

  • Even when accepting their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bono said there is no way a Christian Rock Band from Ireland would ever get a chance in music today. I guess too many ignorant biggots like kingcools in the music industry now.

  • If you know U2, you know their religion transcends all of their music. If you are such an intolerant biggot that you cant accept this maybe you should not listen to them and seek out more anti-christian groups.

  • @00keifer

    well seeing you rage like this i dont think being like you in this case is so good.

    your post shows im a person with far greater tolerance than you.

    Where did you read i couldnt accept they are a "religious" band? Quote please.

    Thank you. If you cant Quote than please shut up.

  • This is true greatness! Celine Dion is are car comercial pitch person.

  • If you ignore halleluja at the end? That is everything that U2 is. They speak from their heart and religion in every song. You cannot ignore their religion and hear U2!

  • If you ignore halleluja at the end? That is everything that U2 is. They speak from their heart and religion in every song. You cannot ignore their religion and hear U2!

  • @00keifer

    Simply no. Im always at least a little ashamed if someone shows his "love to god" in such an extreme way.

    For me U2 is not about all this, even though most of their lyrics got an religious theme.

    I am right now ignoring their religion and i am hearing u2.

    And now?

  • insane song insane performance(if you ignore the hallelulja at the end)

  • awesome 

  • Best. Performance. EVA!

  • When we're 1000 years in the future, I'm sure people will still know U2, and it's greatness, it's like we know Mozart right now, only is U2 much much much more famous! U2 will live for eternity!

  • This is fucking epic, i wish i could write a song half as good as this.

  • I think in that moment Celine saw how utterly insignificant her performances truly were compared to actual greatness.... and all she could do was force her hands together, stoned faced...and in ashes..

  • U2 is still the number-one reason I became the music fan I am today. I love U Bono/Edge/Adam/Larry. inspired performance here.

  • Star struck, Celine?

  • get your rest Bono, Come back to your fans the way we have always known you and expected you to be, You are the greatest that will ever be. You Make U2, I'll be waiting.

  • just so much respect

  • This is the Best U2 song.

  • happy b-day bono!!!!

  • I think All that you can't leave behind was U2's best era...a fab album..a fab yet under-rated tour...and the band were sounding amazing. Sadly Bono lost his father during this era, Rest in Peace Bob Hewson

  • @rattleandhumgirl Well, in my opinion, they are even greater these days. I can't wait to see them live in Germany and Denmark and France.

  • this just proves that they are the best. listen to the lyrics!

  • questa canzone è la piu bella dell album " all that you can't leave behind" ...

  • u2 until the end of the world!!!!

  • @mybriny I like that quote =D

  • the Grammy's finest moment...

  • @isaymakulit I think U2 may aswell own the Grammy's

  • One of my fav U2 performances !

  • A W E S O M E ! ! !

  • What does Bono shout in the beginning? ULM? And what does it mean/stands for..??

  • Comment removed

  • @driftking11111 Think he shouts USA

  • One of the best bands ever in human life

  • i have everything that they have ever done since 1980, i'm 40 yrs old and they will always be #1 to me, seen them 7 times all over the east coast, and i do have to say i would climb over a million piles of horse sh#$% to see these guys!

  • i couldnt agree more they are truly the greatest live band in the world

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • my favorite soon froom u2 too!!!!!

    tahnks for post the video

  • The heighth wonder of the world : U2

  • haile haile u2 jai hooooo

  • Молодцы!Сколько лет слушаю,вечное спасибо!

  • They are masters at rising to the occasion. Thats up there with the best of all time

  • Eagles? I know the band but they have only one memorable song Hotel California. U2 has many.

  • no kidding - other Eagle songs: Lying Eyes, Desperado, The Thrill Is Gone, etc.. but still, wimpy folk-rock, not real rock compared to the Eagles.. better when they added Joe Walsh but still kinda wimpy by comparison..

    Hotel California was a big seller but average musically.. kinda dull to me..

    Police also better than Eagles.. for last 30 yrs of rock..

    ..Jman..

  • best band to ever hit earth

  • @NorthgateStables right out of Ireland during the volatile 80's. When music was TRULY music --Sileni from America born and bred in the USA during the 1980's Bush Sr. and Reganomics era.

  • @NorthgateStables well maybe not the best but in the top ten

  • the gospel choir singing the hallelujah part at the end makes this song even more amazing

  • this is my favourite song of U2!|:)

  • Simply the best live performance I have ever seen. Not one missed note by any band member. This is the reason why U2 are the best band ever. Just love the guitar solo too.

  • Comment removed

  • 9/11 was an inside job. Rest in peace all the victims of this false flag operation. To get the truth about 9/11, watch Alex Jones' documentary film Terrorstorm. Google it.

  • the Grammys = U2...

    simple as that... xD

  • awesome.

    it's2010 but still best.

  • exactly fly.. those last 2 minutes just give me chills

  • last 2 minutes and 45 are just undescribable

  • well this is trully one of the best U2 performances. Luv them

  • If U2 had made only one song, this is it...

  • This is...... overwhelming music! xD

  • This version makes me cry.....

    Masterpiece<3

  • This is why U2 is the Greatest band Ever!

  • @BonosIrishLover Insane. Just wonderful. Agree.

  • best version of one of the best song

  • freedom thats what iam lookin for mate good on ya

  • ALELUYA !

  • Alleluia! Praise God.

  • Unbelievable performance of a great song!! Best Walk On version by far!! Bono's voice is brilliant here..

  • soooooooo true ! best version of this song , bono sounds even better than on the original ^^

  • Love the guitar at 2:45 ...who else but Edge can make his instrument sound like that....also love the background gospel singers (unseen) at the end of the song!!!! perfect!!!

  • you can see them singers at the bottom on 4:46

  • One of the BEST performance of any Grammy's show in recent memory!!! No grand entrances, no dancers, no smoke and props...just excellent music at its best!!

  • They are always so amazing on the Grammy's. Shows what a great Live act they really are. In your own concert it's much easier to 'fake' certain parts of the show, while at these events the true live value of an artist is inevitably revealed. U2 loves it, other artists like avril lavigne hate it.. I suppose.

  • walk on....walk on...none of has been...

  • man why the fuck do you write that u2 wrote miami on every post? you do have some spare time huh

  • @extreme67 and its a funny song ;)

  • Comment removed

  • extremly powerful performance!

  • woooow  fantastic only fantastic

  • OMG!!! This is the best performance of this song EVER..Bono's voice is A+ here. Best band in the whole world, long live U2...

  • youre right ive never seen a performance like this . bono sounds unbelievable here , even better than... ah ^^ on the go home dvd or anywhere else

  • very awsomee!!!!

    i love itt!"!!!!!...=)

  • For a live performance, this is good. Not as good as the album; few live performances are. (One take, limited equipment, and the performers are usually tired from traveling.) But Bono manages to stay in tune, and to present the emotional nuances with good subtlety. And Edge and Larry are on fire. Nice show. Grade of song: A Grade of this performance: B Grade of video: B Stars: 4

  • Awesome band, fantastic song.

    thanks.

  • celine dion looks shell shocked at the end

  • Its a figure of speech. Like the phrase "stealing one's heart".
