  • impresionante!!!!!!!!!!

  • These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill.

  • this song is sooo much better live than on the cd, its too sounds to restricted on the cd.......

  • This is the start of my favorite sequence on any U2 CD or DVD: Dirty Day, Bullet the Blue Sky, Running to Stand Still, Streets. (picks up jaw from floor) All standout versions. My favorite moment from my favorite era from this band.

  • Can someone please create a time machine?

  • Extremely strong performance of Dirty Day !!! EVEN so so so much BETTER THAN THE REAL THING (the original recording) ;o)

  • What a song. It's so easy to overlook and forget, and then one day you hear it again and all of a sudden you're transported back to that warm summer night at the RDS in 1993... 

  • the days run away ..

    like wild horses ..

    over the hills..

    Dirty Days ...

  • @JudithRosalee i can't say that u2 is my favourite band but Bono sometimes gives us words like " the day run away like wild horses over the hills..dirty day" is like a chill running down your spine..cheers!!

  • Comment removed

  • AMAZING!! U2 re lemeeee

  • Diiirty,seeexy,vibe!!

  • what a song.....i love that band...i love dirty day song....zooropa the baest 4 ever...u2 always portugal....best band all time u2

  • amo "Zooropa", amo "Dirty Day"

  • Great voice...1993.....

    

  • Those days.... 

  • I saw this tour in Berlin,they where class! i remember this song aswell.Aweosme!!

  • Attitude, pure attitude

  • Es la mejor versión de este tema. En el disco Zooropa no se puede apreciar lo cool que es.

  • @Edificios1 Zooropa es -lejos- el mejor disco de U2. el más original a mi gusto

  • lo mas de lo mas

  • This version sounds really great. Just listen to Edge's angry playing

  • This is the 'normal' part of the show,where U2 become the U2 of old -look normal, normal expression, and just play. The first 7 songs of the set on this tour were Bono as The Fly (black shades,pvc outfit,sarcastic facial expressions),there was the ranting Vietnam veteran in Bullet The Blue Sky, then either The Mirrorball Man (silver lame suit,ranting like a Southern preacher) or Mr Machpisto (gold lame suit, platform shows) ranting like the devil,for the encore. This bit features the 'normal' U2

  • @EnglishChannel1  platform shoes*

  • Worth seeing!

  • Did you just ask these peole now or have you previously gone down the list of songs and asked people which are "must-haves"? And what constitutes "a lot"? How will they respond if U2 doesn't play it duing the next tour? Will they curse the band because it's a "must-have" or will they feel that it was a "must-have" during this tour, but just a "hope-they-have" afterwards?

    I'd love to hear it from them directly so send them to this video.

  • I just don't understand why they stopped playing this song after this tour. It kicks ass. C'mon, guys, I don't think anyone would miss say, Get On Your Boots, if you replaced it.

  • @modeo92

    Get On Your Boots is absolutely amazing live. I actually don't know if Bono's still has the vocal capabilities to perform this song. The range of tones are almost as out there as Lemon (which is an amazing song, but I doubt Bono can perform it live at that this point).

  • @zodiacdragoon Ok, there's one person who would miss it. That's good to know.

    As far as Bono's vocal capabilities, you can always adjust a song to fit his current talents. U2 does it all the time. The song is too good live to just scrap it after part of one tour.

  • @modeo92

    I actually know a lot of U2 fans who agree with me that Get On Your Boots is a must-have aspect of U2's live setlist.

    Also, I do know that U2 has readjusted many songs, but most of them only subtly. This song would need to be completely redone. A lot of Zooropa songs fall under this category because of how Bono plays with his vocal range. Examples include Dirty Day, Lemon, and Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car. It's possible, but it would require a lot of work to get there.

  • @zodiacdragoon As far as playing this live, it's definitely not in the category of Lemon. That would be a completely differently song. Daddy's? Whatever. In listening to this, I simply don't see the complete overhaul that you do. Bono's vocals are just setting up the instrumentals. That's what makes this song exciting. His voice here in its best form almost 2 decades ago is a nice bonus, but not a requirement. If they want to play with the singing, they could use Edge for that.

  • There are two remixes on a ep that sound more rock n roll than the Zooropa version.

    Usually available on Ebay.

  • u2 1978-2000 (million dollar hotel soundtrack) EPIC

  • U2

  • EPIC and Powerful! This is one of my underrated favorites!  When U2 is gone, people will dig into their overall body of work and then maybe understand their true genius.

  • Oh my god...Best U2 Gig ever, this where the glory days!

  • Hold me thrill me kiss kill u2 live u2

  • Best U2 albums are ZOOROPA, Achtung Baby and POP.Forget the rest!

  • @090878tinus Achtung is the best album, by any artist or band, ever written. Zooropa is an awesome album. However, my friend, POP fucking sucks and I'm embarrassed that they even made that piece of shite.

  • @jcowell1977 You are right man, Achtung Baby is the best U2 album ever, and one of the best albums in the history of music, but POP is the secend one, no doubt. You have to listen it more than once, and you will understand! Popmart was the best U2 tour ever, this was the most ironic and joke tour ever! Still 35 minutes...

  • @sublimeest1978 zooropa is second to achtung baby, then pop, as far as hardcore alternative rock goes! the joshua tree is always the classic! fismantle is a good job too

  • Dude i dont know what your talking about forget POP

  • U2 at their most chaotic, Clayton at his coolest.

  • The ink from a scholars pen is more sacred than the blood of a martyr.....Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)

  • There's no blood thicker than ink....

  • one of my fav songs from zooropa album, This live version is sounds great!!

  • 1:55 => wow

  • Lol listen to Bono's guitar XD hahaha

  • nothing better than bono and the edge who sing together

  • WAW, great song!! I see a lot of people said, why don't they play Lemon or this song on the current tour. Well i think that Bono can't sing so high these days.. Nothing bad cause they adjust their new songs to their capabilites!

  • Very intriguing song. I've gone back and given it another "shot" (since I wrote it off long ago). The more I learn about these guys, the more I love them. This song definitely has a deeper meaning (as do most of their songs) but I haven't figured it out yet. I need to refer to my stash of U2 books at home.

  • @lisamarie656 You are quite right. This is an awesome song. I hated this album when I first got it, but it's one of my favorites now, and this is in my top ten U2 songs ever written. I don't think you really need to refer to your books, but just live off of the emotion of how it feels for YOU! That's what I did. Peace and Love, Jake.

  • Amazing performance! Album song not as developed, but that's often the case, U2 do their performing on the stage, studio performance just can't begin to document the wider vision. Zooropa was created on the back of the 'Achtung Baby' tour, and due to touring, didn't leave U2 with the usual studio time they are normally accustomed to, but the result, like 'Rattle and Hum', created on the back of the 'Joshua Tree' tour, was a band in their creative prime. Bono's guitar fill-in's are immense!!!!!!

  • I just adore this version of Dirty Day. It is so much bigger and sounds like it should. The album version just leaves me wanting more. But then again, that's been the ZooTV experience as a whole. To me, this was U2 at it's most incredible period. Bono's voice hasn't been as good since. Every performance from this period gives me goosebumps. The whole Running To A Standstill/Where The Streets Have No Name section is just beyond unbelievable. Mysterious Ways... wow.

  • When U2 kicked ass....I was born in the wrong decade...I was 6 years when this song came out

  • One of the boys from Ireland's most overlooked and amazing tunes.

  • U2 was the best band in the world until PopMart, then they sold out.

  • the sound of chopping down the joshua tree

  • Underrated tune off of an underwhelming album

  • awesome song i love the zoo tv tour

  • The phrases are all taken from Bono's father. Phrases that he used. The album version is just plain. The live version is just spectacular.

  • forte!

  • omg.....one of the top 5 best U2 songs. period.

  • Zooropa OWNS!!!!!! Zooropa is like an explosion of candy in my mouth!!! YUMMY

  • CAUSE WHERE YOU AIM YOU JUST MIGHT HIT.... This song has so many classic one liners its not even funny... wonderfull

  • Is this song dedicated to Charles Bukowski ? I remember reading that somewhere...

  • ive always wondered what it must be like ,as your trying to perform and get out your lyrics,silly peopl are just screaming at you amd waving their arms..idiots

  • Great fuckin concert..great song!!

  • fantastic!

  • Oh i forgot 'bout "The Joshua Tree" and "Unforgettable Fire". These albums are also great ^^

  • In my humble opinion "Achtung Baby" and "Zooropa" had a "fire" that make U2 a legendary rock band. "No Line On The Horizon", also in my humble opinion, has something similar. I think "How to Dismantle..." is worse than "No Line...", but it's still pretty good.

  • I'm waiting for them to play this song in the next tour

  • ciary, jakie ja mam ciaryy !! <3

  • I LOVE 1:57 - 2:22

    it sounds so sad, but it's great!

    love his voice, love this band

  • @inayeah ....yes!!! I think the same!! it's magnificent!!!!!! fantastic!!!!! the best!!! Bono looks so... sexy! very hot! simply i love it!! do tou think?

  • this live version is so much better than the studio version....I agree they should play this song MORE OFTEN

  • @abj99861 Spot on pal, love this version.

  • @abj99861 - "Dirty Day" is the best song from "Zooropa".

  • @abj99861 Since Zootv they have not played this song again, I think :/

  • Oh...if Bono only had his voice for the "Vertigo" and "U2 360" tours. They would be an unstoppable elite force behind mainstream music. I would've done ANYTHING to have seen them during the "Zoo TV" and "Popmart" tours. Thank God for Youtube. ; )

  • they should play this song more often.

  • I'm STILL somewhat of an ideal newcomer to U2, yet have "Boy", "War", "The Unforgettable Fire" and "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" (which along with "War" ranks to be my favorite U2 album). I actually just got "The Unforgettable Fire" yesterday. It contains some of their most meditative, soothing and indeed overlooked work to date. I've heard every song off "Achtung Baby" and "Zooropa" and I have a feeling the later will join "HDMAAB" and "War" to be my favorite U2 album!!!

  • Hi. You really need Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. And the rest XD

  • i love zoo tv tour

  • anyone know why bono's guitar is never audible?

  • it is dude! not during the entire song but at the last chorus you can listen to it so clearly while the edge is making the ending solo... Bono is using a distorsioned sound and it fills in pretty good

  • You can hear him making the guitar noises in this clip. Usually he just plays along without being audible indeed.

  • I wish it wasn't audible for "One" on the Chicago Vertigo DVD. He makes noises that sound like nails on a chalkboard, but luckily it's only for a short part early in the song. Still, it's awful.

  • I think it is because he can't really play it. he admitted that himself, he started at U2 as guitarist, but it was soon clear that that wasn't his thing. because of his character and his perfomances, they thought he should try for singer and indeed: here he is ^^

  • Lyrically amazing song.. One of their best. Such nice one-liners in this song.

  • one of their best this is the stuff that will last

  • A totally underrated song. It didnt seem that great on the album, but live its fucking outstanding.

  • you said it man! dirty day Live is THE BEST!

  • I wish they would play this song on this tour instead of beat up songs like Pride or even Walk On. I love this tune!

  • The day that Adam did play !!

  • It's been a long way.

    From Zoo TV...

    ...to the U2 i-phone

    ...and now to the Blackberry-sponsored current tour

  • My Zoo TV ticket still says "Phillips presents Zoo TV outside Broadcast"...

  • At least Bongo wasn't playing venture capitalist back then :)

  • Great version,,kicks ass live!!

  • u2 1992-1995 EPIC

  • @jfeltz no dub, the best years of rock history

  • I would go a bit wider : 1991-1997

  • @lonkylaine how about 1987-1995? :)

  • @jamaicanhemp How about 1980 - ... :-D They just changed, the didn't get worse.

  • @jfeltz all albums except POP. Before and after.

  • @jfeltz *U2 1979 - today EPIC !

  • Awesome. This song always reminds me of what a hangover feels like.

  • I don't know why they never played this again after this tour. And the last part of the tour at that. It sounds awesome.

    So bring it back, U2ers and rock it out like this.

  • best band ever

  • this was always one of my least favorite song from them but after this performance I really love it!

    can't wait to see them in October, i hope one day they will have as much intensity as the epic ZOO Tour

  • no doubt u2 at their very best are they afraid of this now

  • really more than brilliant perforamnce of an more than brilliant song.

  • better live than the alum. I miss zooropa..............

  • Great performance.

  • EXCELENTEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Mataría por volver el tiempo atrás para ir a uno de estos conciertoooooooooooos!!!

  • la mejor canción de U2!! con el guitarreo final se me pone carne de gallina...ZOO TV LA MEJOR GIRA DE ROCK DE LA HISTORIA!!!

  • they should play it live in the 360 tour

  • Edge actually has an entire list of every song they ever made, they're going to be playing a lot of songs this tour that havent been played much in the past

  • Hopefully MoFo returns.

  • omgg, mofo from mexico city was amazing

  • also they should play acrobat and all that cool stuff from Achtung Baby and Zooropa

  • they should play one tree hill, and exit from joshua tree as well

  • electrical storm is going to be played in the first leg in Europe....

  • they're going to play Unforgetable fire, Bad, Drowing Man and Ultra Violet.

  • this version likes verry much on the album version

    great song!!!

  • beatiful interpretation of this song! great u2!

  • Absolutely one of my favorite U2 songs..it kicks ass!!!

  • love his falsetto at 5.08 at the end, beautiful

  • christ I love it when they kick in at 3.30 with the guitars etc... god I miss the 90's U2, so much more experimental than now. Now they have gone a bit commercial, still some good songs, but they have gone for a happy medium to please the record companies. In the 90's they just tried new styles and didn't give a shit, they knew they were good and just did it. Like this, how different is this from say 'Still Haven't Found...' or 'New years day', completely different angle, brilliant

  • i think that every band loses it around their age, but i think that u2 still give everything. no band has gone as long as they have and still brought out class songs, they will deliver every time, fuck anyone who thinks any new album is shit, the last 3 albums have been average but i still love them, u2 will go and should go down as the best band ever...

  • great performance, my favourite from the album

  • Man how the hell do these guys kick so much ass?

  • such a great song!

  • Kick-Ass Live!!! Yeah the very first ,,One last kissing" in Falsetto by Edge, he´s git a great Voice!

  • Canción gloriosa.

  • soooo much better live. Amazing performance from an amazing tour.

  • absulut Cool!!!!

  • So much better live....great song though anyway. I miss 90s U2.

  • the best song from zooropa

  • so much better live!

  • very very underrated song!!! :s

    for me is the best song of Zooropa.

  • my favorite song by u2 really it tells an amazing story between the love and hate between a son and father!!! this songs remindes me of my relationship between me , my dad and my grandfather... best part i think that gives me chills, " i am you, more so when they put me in the ground" wow amazing!!!

  • one of the best performances ever! U2, THANK YOU!!! and this year....NEW TOURRRR! yeah

  • fucken awesome! these days, run away like horses over the hill!

  • Maybe the best song from the Zoo TV, together with the Zoo Station piece. Just can't get enough of them.

  • this song may be about the bad way Bono was treated after his dad left the Catholic church ( because in those days Catholics and Protestants were disowned for marrying the other)."From a father to his son..more so when they put me in the ground". Be glad those days are over in Erie!

  • man i love u2 have done for years.cant wait for the new album.

    does any1 know if they will be touring this year?

  • They'll definitely tour. It's what they live for.

  • he is right, think that they don't play live since november of 2006, 3 years, except for those little events (but only bon and the edge).

  • Jeden z moich najbardziej dołujących kwałków U2.

  • This is the Exit of the Zooropa album - I love frenzied choruses - something U2 put so much power into.

  • Leeds Roundhay park 14/08/1993. You were either there or you were'nt.

  • Dude...... i wish i could've been there. I was 7 at the time (holy shit....) I hadn't quite realised that i loved u2 at that point. They were still just something my dad played in his car. But i remember that he went to see that show, and my grandma told us when it came on the news, thats where he'd gone...

    I went to see popmart at roundhay park with him in 97 though. My first concert! not a bad first concert experience ay? but man... imagine i'd been tuned in soon enough to see this one.....

  • that was meant to be a reply to dalziel167

    man...what a great song, and great concert. Just a rock show should be

  • wow

    extremely good live

    almost better than the album version

    except for the drums on the album version is better

    but that solo

    just amazing, adds so much

  • the days days days.....

  • This track is killer, especially live with the awesome choruses.

  • I think U2 is way much better live that on records XD

  • well bono said that after realising boy album and says it on every interview.

  • Even though they can't surpass their Achtung Baby album with any live's.

  • When I listed to the albun in (about) 95 (I think), you could tell it would be good live... though I did not expect it to be this good. brilliant.

  • From father to son...in one life...

    bono riesco a capire ogni tuo gesto, riesco a percepire ogni tua vibrazione, perchè è questo quello di cui siamo fatti, di vibrazioni,,,,,, mio padre sei te

  • This performance show how good they are live. The studio-version are a b-side song.

  • What a song. Most underated by this great band.

  • Simplemente impresionante!!!

  • Zoopora was largely underrated...The same us PoP

  • Lo que me sorprende es la similutud de la canción en vivo con la versión de estudio, U2!!!

  • Agree with those who question why this is never played anymore. I'd also love to hear the full throttle versions of Please and Hold Me, etc. again. It seems they have always been reluctant to play songs from Zooropa and Pop. I remember Bono more or less apologizing for Pop and Popmart when I saw them in their first show in Florida in 2001. Bono, that was your critics, not your true fans who gave you a hard time. Play all you please from those 2 albums.

  • agreed definately

  • Fucking best record..

  • i ve always loved this song... just great!
