After their career is finally over, U2 will not only leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of rock, they’ll leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of music. Their 'competition' isn't just rock legends like The Beatles, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones-- it's people like Mozart, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Duke Ellington. U2 are one of the ALL-TIME greats. To understand you must listen to their ENTIRE catalog. It rivals anyone's-- EVER.
I'm not going to say, "listen to this decent band," I'm going to be honest. Please listen to MY band, Futuretown, if you enjoy bands such as U2. Our song, "Firstlight," is a fan favourite! Sorry if I've annoyed you with my commenting, but we just want to be heard.
people always talk about bono and i like him too. Most don't realize that they are listening to one of the best guitar players in the world. Edge rules!!!!!
@jeff66y The Edge, from a technical point of view, is certainly no where near being one of the best - I've been playing for about 45 years now so have something of a sense of this. His sound has some innovation for sure, it's a kind of combination of blues man John Lee Hooker and Charlie Burchill (who was doing "Edgy" kind of things well before The Edge in the band Simple Minds). That said, The Edge is very good and an absolute joy to listen to, a very humble man too.
@talkingwall He does what nearly every guitarist can't do, make a song that's a joy to listen to! It's not all about playing fast and intricate stuff is it? He's one of the best 10 out there for me

Hi all! I appreciate all the positive feedback. This just became my top-watched video, so to celebrate, I've uploaded a new and improved version. It won't let me post a link here, but it can be found on my channel. It's got upgraded audio and runs longer at the end. I hope you enjoy :)
@PIlotrcm...I take it you've never seen U2 live...it's not just the sound system, it's that out of all the concerts I've been to, U2 sounds the best...always. Not only that, they've had the same sound engineer for 32 years. His name is Joe O'Herlihy, and he's pretty well known in the business as being one of the best...if not the best.
It sounded to me like Edge lost his timing slightly with a hiccup at 1:14 and to get himself back on track just went into the strumming portion of the intro early. I would be rather upset if I got to see U2 live and they messed up the intro like that. That is my all-time favorite song intro and it would be disappointing. But, The Edge is human like the rest of us and makes mistakes like the rest of us.
@Silver1SWA Exactly. The mistake is not on Edge´s coming in earlier but on his missing the delay´s pace.
I agree, if I pay the fortune that U2 tickets cost I would be extremely disappointed to have such a flaw in their greatest song ever (and one of the greatest live songs of all time).
However, I have seen thousands of live versions of this song and this is the first time I´ve seen such a flaw. IMO he´s one of the best guitarists ever. Few can transmit such emotions as this guy. Cheers
I love u2, my favorite band ever, but I wish Bono would ditch the Terminator / Mad Max look. Call me trite and shallow, but I miss the old less biker gangish Bono.
I dont think they fucked up as much as fucking around...I mean I think as a band they pretty much have beaten this thing too death. I'm pretty sure if they played an open mic night and someone said "Play streets.." the Edge or Bono would throw something at them..
What an awesome night. Have been a fan since 2000 and never got a chance to see them. Was living in New Orleans at the time, and had to do SATs in the morning, finished then hopped in the car for a six hour drive to Houston. I remember thinking if it was worth it to travel 12 hours round trip to see a two hour concert, but after the concert I knew that was a stupid question. I'm so glad I got a chance to see them live.
That was a great fucking version!! I've never seen bono's reaction the entire intro before, and watching him get 'into' it. That was fucking awesome. No wonder he can hit those notes with the adrenaline flowing in that song. BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! u24ever
who really cares whether the Edge is technically flawless...i mean, come on...I went through the whole 80's glam-rock phase (w/ the flawless guitar licks, etc).....and all that just doesn't matter any more. It's about creating an emotion, and they more than accomplished that this evening.
can't believe my eyes! and ears too ! edge should sit down, buy some shitty cheap fender from china and start to learn his own songs. . . if he can fuck up such a simple intro after 22 years of playing it, what will he do after 4 or 5 years ? i've been to u2's gig at chorzow ,poland, amazing perf. but edge has completely fucked up ultraviolet, check it here on youtube.
So true, arron19038; I noticed that right off the bat and I thought to myself: "Oh Edge..." while shaking my head, lol! BTW, I've been playing piano for 28 years if that even matters, but I am surprised too by the lack of comments about the intro, even by 'non-musicians', lol:D
haha edge went into the rhythmic patter to quickly in the intro he must of forgotten they were doing the extended intro I cant believe i dont see any comments about that u non musicians great performance though
dicen que vienen a mexico el 30 de mayo 2010,eso espero y adios PS3 tendras que esperar para estar en mis manos..........pero mejor u2 que tu adios ahorros para el ps3 y lam neta a difrutar
Que increíble es verse en esta bella sinfonía. Recordar es vivir y vivir es disfrutar... Gracias U2 y gracias "eltimbomofo" por grabar esta canción... Es la mejor -Viva México-
All you haters need to watch the video posted by u2star titled "U2 Where The Streets Have No Name 10-14-2009" and tell me who ISN'T jumping and going crazy in Houston!!!
Most people were pretty much turned off, but we did enjoyed a lot. We travel from Costa Rica and ended up loving houston from all diferent points of view...
i saw the show in Dallas and the crowd was just as boring and shitty as this one, stupid Texans they don't appreciate good music. i was like jumping all over the place.
It's ok, you are what's called a "U2 fan". Kind of a bad choice for a first concert though, ANYTHING after this will be not as good haha. Glad you had a good time, I can't wait to see them here in LA. The world will see them then too :D
Thanks for getting this, I was in the circle and jumping the whole time. I couldn't have cared less how "CRAPPY" the rest of the crowd was. I was just soaking it in. Hadn't seen them since the Elevation tour. This songs is the ultimate experience in live music. And yeah, in the concert I was like, Edge has already moved onto the latter part of the intro. Strange.
what a CRAPPY crowd dude...how can you be IN The circle, during THIS song especially and just stand there? Us at the Rose Bowl will be MUCH more appreciative of U2...puh...Houston
Its amazing that after 20 years...that song still brings the house down. I saw them in Atlanta and that was the best song of the night. Funny on this video though, it sounds like the Edge came in too early at 1:20.
