  • When was this show?

  • @Gustavosjdr

    2001 

  • Without doubt the most moving and best live sets I have ever seen any band give and for me this with "kite" are the two best and that's saying something because the rest is awesome as well!

  • So many pro tax cunts on here. The less Bono has to pay the Government for his own work the more he has to give away to the poor.  Robin Hood of Rock ftw.

  • Best gig of my life

  • Just days before this gig my mates phoned me from

    the SECC in Glasgow just as U2 were taking to the stage to take the mick as I never got a ticket. Next day my wife surprised me with a plane ticket and Slane ticket for this gig. Guess who I phoned just as U2 were taking to the stage at Slane? Best U2 gig I have been to by far.

  • @coochi1972 hahaha, nice one man. And you have the best wife in the worllddddddd :)

  • Easily the biggest and best band on the planet . A need a lend of £500 too Mr Hewson !

  • I'm out of control when I hear this song...

  • I'm 18 and I can already tell - U2 is my life and always will be.

  • I was there!!

  • Really Bono you don't need say we're U2... we know!!! :)

  • We're going to base our crew in Dublin cos this is our tribe, until the artists tax exemption scheme is discontinued in Ireland and then we'll move to Holland, let me hear you Amsterdam.

    Inspiring stuff.

  • @jwood36 quit being a hater and shut your fucking mouth

  • @thenutsisgood I don't hate anybody, I just dislike hypocrites

  • @jwood36 yeah im sorry for telling you to shut your fucking mouth as well, seeing as you were so polite to me. how are they being hypocrites exactly?

  • @jwood36 . Bono was just quoting the exact words he said the last time that they played Slane Castle when they were unheard of in the late 70s.U2 were an unknown punk band at the bottom of the bill and opened the show, Thin Lizzy (Phil Lynott were top of the bill). So what if they pay taxes in Holland, Have you any idea how much money he's donated to charity? funded hospitals and given starving African babies life and hope He also deserves to spend his hard earned cash on himself too

  • @40ChampagneSupernova "Have you any idea how much money he's donated to charity?"

    No I don't and it's beside the point.Bono has asked the Irish Government for foreign aid and funding, he was quite happy to take the tax breaks during the Artists Exemption Scheme but not so happy to contribute when it was ceased.What's the difference? Three percent. In terms of percentages I pay more to the Irish Government and to foreign aid.For someone who claims to be a patriot he's a funny way of showing it

  • @jwood36 .. I feel the same way about that prick Sean Connery, he bleats on about wanting an Independent Scotland, he's never here @ lives and pays his taxes in Spain.

  • @40ChampagneSupernova It's so frustrating, I used to be a big U2 fan in my teens and was actually at this gig, and even though it was the week of his father's passing he still put on a great perfrormance. I think in Connery's case he's guilty of naivety in Bono's case it's hypocrisy.

  • I love Larry mullens cymbal fills

  • Bono wrote this on his 18 birthday. It's about the restlessness of youth.

  • i need a cigarette

  • TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP!!!!!

  • im sick to my back teeth with every 2 bob 2 bit dissapointed dunski givining it charlie big bollox saying this sound and this band aint real. Your a bunch of cocksmoking ballbags.

    THIS IS MY FUCKING TRIBE YOU CUNTS

  • @RYANKOKO  pissed myself laughing, you're a legend mate

  • @rhinos111

    i was drunk at the time but i stand by my comment. ha

    take it easy man

  • This is easily one of my favorite U2 clips. When Bono starts screaming "I'm out of control;" it brings a tear to my eyes everytime.

  • i cant believe this is ten years ago,u2's best tour.

  • As good as Birr in 1980

  • I'm out of control since early september....

  • Incredible...

  • TE AMO BONOOOO... GRACIAS POR EXISTIR U2.... ME HACEN DISFRUTAR TANTO ESCUCHANDO SU HERMOSA MÚSICA Y VIÉNDOLOS PORQUE LOS 4 SON LIIIINDOS, ESPECIALMENTE TÚ BONO, TE AMOOOOOOOOO, GRACIAS POR ALEGRAR MI VIDA ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • Insanely brilliant performance!

  • Ten years ago today(september 1 2001)....I was at this gig. I will never forget this day. What a fantastic experience. The sad thing is, that ten days later the world would be shook to the core by the worst terrorist attack ever. Happy and sad times indeed.

  • ... and this is edge! I don't know where we got him!

    Bono ist amazing :D 

  • @jBxDD Barking, he's an Essex boy!

    

  • @scarredk0 What means Essex? I'm from Germany... 

  • and the edge......he just fell from heaven

  • I would hope people would learn the difference between "dodging taxes" and "minimizing your tax liability". I'm sure Bono deducts his mortgage interest (ok, i'm sure he doesn't actually have a mortgage but you get my point). Should we give him static for that? If Ireland wants U2 to keep all their business there, LOWER YOUR TAXES! It's like all the European tennis players going to Monaco. Why blame them?

  • @ArtMonkforHallofFame Each and everyone of us would do the same, people who slag U2 off for how they conduct there tax affairs dont like there music, cause if they did they'd be like you and me and just love U2's music and dont give shit about that side of them.

  • i love how bono introduces the band as if nobody has ever heard of them! :D

  • @RingAroundTheRosi they were reapplying for the job of best band in the world.

  • @RingAroundTheRosi U2 played Slane in 1981 supporting Thin Lizzy. So he was basically saying what he said to the crowd 20 years before that!

  • Try u2 live in Mexico. A1

  • dont hate bono, bono dont hate you

  • The best band in the world!!! 

  • my favorites...1. the unforgettable fire 2. out of control 3. where the streets have no name 4. pride 5. bullets..JUST MY TOP 5!

  • Im sick seeing live in Dublin..lol, But they are unreal, if you want see the 2 it has to be Dublin!

  • @bonavox11 thanks!

  • Awesome

    

  • And this is Edge!......I don't know where we got him....

  • @antilizzie I don't give a rats ass if they dodge taxes. So what? Most of us would do the same ;). I care about their music, not about their financial things. :)

  • @antilizzie Aw, a little bitter are we?

  • @antilizzie well said, bono is a gobshite

  • What year was this concert?

  • @Serendeppity2009 August 25 and september 1st, 2001 .

  • We are your tribe eh Bono? Well how about you pay some taxes here!!! If you were on your forst 100mil I could understand it. Fuckin hypocrite.

  • they still based in dublin? :P

  • The most astonishing gig i've ever seen.

    Incredible day,Ireland beat Holland 1-0 to qualify for World Cup 2002 which was shown live on the screens.Then Moby turned the place into a giant rave whilst pausing for a moment to invite Ardal O'Hanlon (Fr Dougal Maguire) onstage for a beautiful rendition of My Lovely Horse! U2 came out and played an astonishing gig on the back of one of their great albums.

    The whole day was just a big party.I was on a high for ten days after and then 9/11 happened...

  • @TheFutureadvocate I was at slane 1 which was unreal, but then heard friends going on about slane 2 but f*$k it.... at least i got to see them in slane!

  • Larry looks like he's having so much fucking fun.

  • bono żądzi

  • 500 pounds from each parent, damn, trying to land a record deal isn't cheap. (well I guess they needed money for some plays to stay too).

    I like Bono's voice here, it's rough but clear (urhg, did that make any sense?).

  • this song should be on every u2 concert set list,like bloody sunday,streets.with or without you,and beautiful day are...

  • Essa versão é muito foda! Quando ele fala que ia ficar em Dublin então... *lagriminha*

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing song! i´ve heared this song in the Stadium Azteca it was a beautiful night.

  • @paco9560 I was also there! It was amazing! yeah! (=

  • did i just saw larry smile?

  • the edge is a god!

  • I do like it.

  • Happy birthday Bono

  • Pago 500 Libras com prazer

  • The best concert...ever....

  • I love this video, man. Excellent performance. Especially at 4:43, when Bono tells Edge to hold and wait for the build up. It's like waiting for a cork to pop out of the champagne bottle. Perfect timing and musicianship. Well played!

  • great song!!!! What a lot of remeberances they lived when they played tihs song...it was like coming back to that first time...if you don't feel it that way, then take a look at Larry Mullen Jr (1:58- 2:09) he simply doesn't smile, but here you could see the lot of emotions and great feelings that moved him to play the way he played the drums.

  • Absolutely LOVE this song ! I was very Excited to hear it again on the second night in Brasil...it was superb !!!!

  • Replay : 0:00

  • I'm out of control when i look at this concert...

  • if i could go back in time i would go to this concert

  • Just the Best Band Ever.

  • This whole concert was amazing! It seemed like they wanted to do the best performance ever of each song they played. And they did it! :P

  • Man the whole band is on fire in this version! Bono sounds so freaking great! Brilliant vocals, also Edge lends a beautiful backing vocal as well. This version is a bit slower than the album version but this one packs more energy. This is why I love U2 so much. Their songs and the passion they have in their performances. Best version of "Out Of Control" !

  • Larry is doing what Ireland did to England in the rugby today.. Absolutely smashing them lol

  • 1 person is out of control.

  • @TheFly212 They meant to click "like" and their index finger got out of control.

  • The way they build up the croud in this song is unbelievable

  • 2.02

    Larry is so much handsome when he smiles

  • ...At.4.50.........THIS ladies and gentlemen....and all you doubters......is why they remain the greatest rock n roll band that has ever graced this planet!

  • AWESOME !!!!!! BEST VERSION OF THIS STUNNIN' SONG !!!

  • I'm out of control. It happens everytime I listen to it!

  • They are still the best band in the world. Just when I think they might lose their magic they put out a world tour like 360. Amazing, Amazing band.

  • could you imagine what christie's New york could get for that guitar especially knowing that it would never go up to auction.

  • still best live band today

  • the nature of this song i about being born, fight fate, and dying. today its my birthday and im hearing this song all day.

  • Without doubt the best first single ever. Still stands up today, in my top five U2 tracks. Best £500 invested by anyone!

  • this is one of the most beautifoul/powerfull versions live i ever heard of any song...AWSOME!!!...we share the Celtic blood,saluts from Portugal

  • i simply love the irish culture!!!!!!!! thank you for giving us u2!!!!!!!! CHEERS FROM BRASIL´´´SÃO PAULO´´

  • This tour was awesome! :)

  • they are THE BAND, the Heroes. Love U2. Blessings from Portugal, Coimbra 2 and 3 Oct 2010, Fantastic..

  • I think this is the best of the speeches that I've heard from his voice. Paul, this is my thought: I wanna thank ur father too for those five hundred pounds.... God bless ya! =')

  • i was there!!!.... i think after more than 15 years following these guys i have decided this is my favourite u2 song....

  • The First single !!! From one of the best rock band of all times.......For me the Best !!!

  • They're still young. Forever young!!

  • Was at the above concert.....a very special homecoming for the lads.

  • this is the best U2 concert  i ve ever seen...

  • @chriskatsanis an ennois oti to eides live eisai poli tyxeros!:)))

  • @chriskatsanis

    Have you watched the U2 ZOO TV from USA ?? ( i think its from USA - there are 13 parts at youtube - check it .. its awesome :)) btw - I really love this version of Out of control from Slane Castle .. its the best version I guess !!!

  • @chriskatsanis

    You are truly right. I've seen a lot of live performances, but this is my favourite one, from beginning 'till the end. But this is not random: they're on home soil and, as i know, Bono's dad had been dead only for couple of days at the time they performed. At one point in the concert (Where the streets have no name, 0:53'), a lot of people share the opinnion that Bono yells "Father!".

  • man this magic , rockin it for real!!! auckland NZ

  • this is music! don´t you ever forget that and i have never met your father or you but i love you anywhay beacuse this is our tribe !!! and Im Out Of Control !

  • it just doesn't get better that 4:55

  • @ndh2600 No man, that's an amazing moment. The kind of chemistry they have is incredible. The way Bono's able to signal when the song needs to come up and they all just feel the moment every time.

    Best band ever.

  • I'm going through a hard time right now.

    But whenever I get like that, I listen( and scream madly along with the lyrics ) to U2 because there is allways a song, that will allways make me feel a little bit better.

    I've spend well above 500 on there product's and they are worth every penny of it.

    No need to thank me!. I thank U2!!!

  • My brother like's it better!

  • My brother like's it better!

  • After 25 years there still top of the tree, the next album better be better than line thoe!

  • I turned 18 today, it's monday, the first thing I did when I woke up was say ''how long....''

    This is one of my favorite songs by U2, and for a while now I've been wanting to do this, hehe. This song always gets me.

  • Quite possibly the best live performance of a song that U2 has ever done. I dare you to find one better.

  • @gmr7494 you're right... this performance is very very emotional.

  • The Greatest Band in The World !!!

  • this dvd is one of my favorites of theirs. the crowd was bonkers!

  • これもいい! 何度も見てる。

  • El primer single como si lo hubiesen sacado ayer. Puro power, una de las mejores versiones en vivo de una cancion, pero por masacre.

  • Wish I was at this concert!!!  U2 the best band ever!!!!

  • @onewithu2 Brought my soon to be wife to this concert. It was her first time seeing U2 and her first Slane Concert. She says she has never seen anything like it since. Bono`s father had just died a few days before and they still did the show. Everyone there saw something special that night.

  • 4:52 BEST! Jumping in my room right now!

  • I wish so much I could have been there *pure.envy*

  • a Torino nol 2001 quando sono rientrati per suonarla é sceso lo stadio...Certo cho WE LIKE IT!!!!!!

  • LEGEND

  • ...it was one dull morning... MY ARSE!

  • This performance was proof that after Rattle and Hum, Zoo TV and PopMart, U2 were still the band they always were.

  • Reading some of the Comments on here makes me laugh...All this stuff about Snow Patrol being shite and Rush wiping the floor .....It does my head in...If you dont like the Video then don't watch it or if you don't like U2 then why are you watching it....

    Your turning Music into Politics...If it "Floats your Boat" then Happy days ...if not then that's your choice....just cos you may not like it,it doesn't mean a certain band or Singer is Shit...There's more things to worry about than Music.

  • Gracias por este 1º single a pesar del tiempo suena genial...El mejor concierto en directo que han dado la banda en toda su carrera.....VIVA U2 desde España un saludo a todos.

  • 'This is out Tribe!!!!' love this part of the song.  500lbs well spent!

  • "We're

    a band from the north side of Dublin, we're called U2, this is our

    first single, we hope you like it!"

    yes we like it..love U2

  • buenisimo!! it's amazing this song, thank you U2!

  • @Pratt634 fuck you
